For those of you who have wondered about a suppressed ,458 SOCOM:
I went to the range Thursday with a client and a customer. He ordered a Red Jacket Arms Integrally suppressed 458 SOCOM. It took a total of 3 years to get it to him. over 2 years to get it from Red Jacket to my FFL!
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 unsuppressed 458.
We shot 100 rounds of 350 grain JSP through it today. The recoil wasn't bad. However, the price tag of $300.00 for the ammunition was bad.
The session started slowly, where were a lot of jams. We became adept at what I termed the Red Jacket Dance . . . .
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.
Lots of Gas in the face . . . . Definitely needs a Gas Buster Charging handle.
IT get HOT quick . . Needs a VFG if you are doing more than hunting with it!
In short, once the packing grease burned itself off the internal surfaces . . .and the Gucci Lubricant was applied it worked.
