Something different. Suppressed 458 SOCOM

something interesting came in for one of my trust clients.

Great day at the range. Shot a suppressed Red Jacket arms 458 socom. This is their integrally suppressed rifle. It is long. . . . it is heavy and it is loud. Or relatively loud. Not painfully so. But loud enough.

Of course, I really have no frame of reference for a suppressed 458 SOCOM. It was certainly quieter than an unsupressed 458. We shot 300 rounds of 350 grain JsP through it today.

The session started slowly, where were a lot of jams. People tell me that you're supposed to clean a gun before you shoot it. I think that is overrated.

After a few rounds and being doused with some super slick Gucci lubricant, and after we started manning up to the gun, it ran fine.

 

And for those doubters . . .this proves I actually have a coat and tie.

 

The 458 is really picky on how and when it wants to run. Took me a while to get mine dialed in with my hand loads. Now mine will run anything you feed it. I want a can for mine eventually but I'll just get a thread on can

 

Helps to lean into it when shooting, looks like you did but the other 2 not so much, the gas blow back would be an issue for me...I like the 458 and rifle though

 

yeah . . about cleaning the shipping grease . .the thick white grease . .before shooting . . Its over rated . . LOL

 

Only time I really clean my rifle is when I shoot aluminum bullets
