This is a really good system, less carbon build up, works really well with the 3 prong.
TAJ J –
Absolutely love SureFire and their products… I can’t justify the 1700 price tag on it but I only able too when I won it at auction for 1200… I think once the price comes down it will be a must have suppressor
Daniel G –
I bought this to reduce the blowback on my 5.56. It over performed in this endeavor and I’m very pleased with the tone of the can as well as the lack of flash. I’m hoping Surefire releases a 7.62 version
Andy G –
Great suppressor! Alittle overpriced ,but worth buying. No fireballs once paired with proper muzzle device.
Erick B –
Reduced backpressure and less gas-in-face than my RC2 cans.
Matthew W –
SureFire makes a great can! If you’ve already committed to their muzzle devices, then this is a great option for low back pressure. A little pricey for a suppressor that isn’t the best for reducing back pressure.
Wilson S –
Way less gas to the face, still good sound reduction and gun doesn’t build up carbon quick
Elton U –
Best of the best in its class bar none. I use a 4 prong flash hider so you can’t see nothing at night time.
Troy S –
Quality can
Rodney Crabtree –
The pro’s are, great on the gas blowback.
The con’s are, not any quieter than a $500 silencer.
Brett Miller –
This has been a great suppressor. And the silencer shop made it easy for me to go through all of the process.
Michael Wheet –
If you want a bombproof, low back pressure suppressor, and are willing to deal with the weight, muzzle device limitations and high price, it’s hard to beat the SureFire RC3.
James –
This was my first silencer. I’ve only had it for a week. I have fired roughly 200 rounds through it at this time. I am very satisfied with the sound and flash reduction.
Matthew Burke –
I own mainly SF products because of the solid lock up of the mounting system. The RC3 is just as good as my RC2 model and the claims of lower back pressure is correct. Firing both cans back to back makes this apparent. I have done all the firing of the RC3 indoors and haven’t noticed an issue with flash as reported, all ammo fired has been M193 with a SF3P.
Justin H –
The Surefire RC3 is the best of the best. The flow through puts little to no gas back in your face, rifle cycles beautifully with it, and it’s a battle proven can. Very happy with it
Joshua Y –
I love the flowthrough design, and the fact it gives much less gas to the face vs the RC2.
Used with the 3 and 4 prong flash hiders, it doesn’t do the fireball thing. 🙂
Very awesome!
Alfred Chiesa –
This is my second RC3. Great silencers
Timothy S –
Little on the pricey side, but top notch quality all around!
Mike –
Rc3 is great looking and functioning can. Love the quick detection system.
Shelton W –
I love the flow through design of the RC3 vs the RC2 because it eliminates a lot of the gasses just as it promises.

A full review can be found on our YT channel silencer syndicate as we compare over 150 cans head to head.
Blake M –
This can was my first suppressor purchase, so I don’t have anything to compare with. However, I’ve definitely enjoyed using it. I’m using the 3 Prong FH and have put 180 rds through this can without any issues. The overall sound reduction makes it much more pleasant for myself and those around me at the range. With it being a flow-through design, I didn’t have to adjust the piston gas block as it cycled like the suppressor wasn’t there. The QD is quite nice and appears rugged enough. The price it quite high compared to other cans, but I don’t regret buying it.
Pew pew, but shh shh.
