SureFire\u2019s smallest suppressors to date are now in full production.<\/p><\/div>\n

Fountain Valley, CA — <\/strong>SureFire, LLC, manufacturer of high-end illumination tools and tactical products, have released their Mini and Micro suppressors. Both work with existing SureFire flash hider and muzzle brake suppressor adapters, but come in a significantly smaller package than previous models.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdding length and weight to a personal weapon system is usually an unwanted modification,\u201d says Barry Dueck, director of the SureFire Suppressor Division. \u201cThese two new suppressors were designed with that thought in mind. We\u2019re trying to reduce the users overall signature, not just the firearm\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n

At 5.0 inches in length and 14.0 ounces in weight, the MINI suppressor is SureFire\u2019s new flagship 5.56mm suppressor. It provides the same performance as its predecessor, the SureFire FA556-212 suppressor, but at one inch less in length and two ounces lighter in weight.<\/p>\n

At 4.0 inches long and 12.0 ounces in weight, the compact and lightweight SureFire MICRO suppressor is designed to attenuate the sound signature of a carbine or rifle to a safe level, as well as reduce the dust and flash signature while minimizing added weight and length to s host weapon with a 14.5\u201d barrel or longer. The MICRO, like the MINI, features the Fast Attach\u00ae system for rapid attachment\/detachment on any weapon equipped with a compatible SureFire suppressor adapter. Thanks to SureFire\u2019s overlapping mount, only 1.75 inches are added to the length of the rifle.<\/p>\n

SureFire\u2019s proprietary suppressor design not only reduces the sound levels and muzzle flash of a fired weapon, helping to protect an operator\u2019s hearing and keep his location concealed, it also typically increases projectile velocity and improves a weapon\u2019s accuracy. This is SureFire\u2019s philosophy of Total Signature Reduction\u2122. Contrary to existing suppressor models, which typically degrade performance of a 1-2 MOA (Minute of Angle) rifle to 3-4 MOA\u2014sometimes as much as 8 MOA, SureFire suppressors typically improve grouping sizes.<\/p>\n

Micro Suppressors<\/p><\/div>\n

Most suppressors also cause a shift in a weapon\u2019s point-of-zero when attached or detached. But under fire, an operator seldom has the time to re-zero his weapon after attaching a suppressor. With a SureFire Suppressor, there is no need to re-zero the weapon. Its Fast-Attach mechanism locks the suppressor onto the firearm in the same position every time, producing a negligible, repeatable point-of-impact shift. And SureFire Suppressors are as durable as the barrels they\u2019re mounted on, making fulltime suppressor use not only probable but practical.<\/p>\n

All SureFire suppressors includes a nylon cleaning brush and a padded, ballistic nylon MOLLE pouch for storage. The suppressors are available in a black or dark earth finish. For more information or to find a SureFire suppressor dealer, visit www.surefire.com<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n
