XC3 Sub: Duty-Grade Light for Subcompact Handguns
The XC3 Sub extends SureFire's XC3 family to subcompact and micro-compact handguns. It delivers duty-grade performance in a form factor designed for concealed carry without weighing down the host pistol.
Powered by the included SFRCR123 rechargeable lithium battery, the XC3 Sub generates 1,000 lumens and 13,000 candela for positive target identification to 228 meters. Users can also run a single 123A lithium primary for 550 lumens and extended runtime when recharging isn't practical.
XC3 Sub Specifications
- Output (SFRCR123)1,000 lm / 13,000 cd
- Output (123A)550 lm / 7,200 cd
- Beam Distance228 m / 170 m
- Runtime0.75 hr / 1.75 hr
- Weight (w/ battery)2.65 oz (75 g)
- Length2.6 in (6.6 cm)
- ConstructionAluminum, Type III HA
- SwitchingAmbidextrous toggle
SureFire's precision-engineered parabolic reflector shapes the beam for both close-range situational awareness and positive identification at distance. Ambidextrous toggle switches provide momentary and constant-on activation options.
M640T Turbo Scout Light Pro: Long-Range Identification
The M640T Turbo Scout Light Pro delivers SureFire's turbo beam technology in a lightweight, non-Dual Fuel configuration. SureFire states the M640T was developed from direct end-user feedback requesting high-candela performance in a slimmer package.
At 700 lumens and 70,000 candela, the M640T produces a tightly focused beam for positive identification at 529 meters. The concentrated beam pattern prioritizes throw over flood for applications requiring target identification at distance.
M640T Turbo Specifications
- Output700 lm / 70,000 cd
- Beam Distance529 meters
- Weight (w/ batteries)4.4 oz (124 g)
- Length5.5 in (13.9 cm)
- Bezel Diameter1.125 in (2.9 cm)
- BatteriesTwo 123A lithium
- ColorsBlack, Tan
- SwitchingClick tailcap
Like all Scout Light Pro models, the M640T features SureFire's Low-Profile Mount (LPM) for optimizing the light's position relative to the handguard and other rail-mounted accessories. Construction is aerospace aluminum with MIL-A-8625 Type III Class 2 hard anodizing and O-ring seals.
SOCOM6-MINI4: 6mm ARC Suppressor
The SOCOM6-MINI4 joins SureFire's next-generation SOCOM-4 suppressor family alongside the SOCOM556-RC4 and SOCOM556-MINI4. It's built specifically for 6mm ARC platforms, combining durability, flash reduction, and low-back-pressure performance in SureFire's compact Fast-Attach package.
Key Features
- •60% lower back pressure vs conventional designs, reducing gas in shooter's face
- •Inconel superalloy construction for sustained fire resistance
- •Enhanced muzzle design virtually eliminates flash from sides and forward
- •3D-printed aerospace components combined with machined parts
SOCOM6-MINI4 Specifications
- Caliber6mm ARC
- ConstructionInconel Superalloy
- CoatingCerakote
- Diameter1.5 in (3.8 cm)
- Weight16 oz (454 g)
- Length5.8 in (14 cm)
- Added Length*3.3 in (8.4 cm)
- ColorsBlack, Dark Earth
*Actual length may vary depending on SureFire adapter used
SureFire states the SOCOM6-MINI4 is built entirely from U.S. mill-certified Inconel superalloy for resistance to heat and erosion during sustained fire. The all-new muzzle design improves flow characteristics while the beefed-up muzzle construction improves durability against front-end impacts.

SOCOM-4 Platform: Low Back Pressure Design
The SOCOM6-MINI4 incorporates SureFire's SOCOM-4 flow dynamics, which the company claims reduce back pressure by 60% compared to conventional suppressor designs. This reduction translates to less gas in the shooter's face, cleaner-running firearms, reduced wear on parts, and improved recoil management.
SureFire's Fast-Attach mounting system allows quick attachment and removal. The SOCOM-4 series combines machined and 3D-printed aerospace-grade components with cutting-edge manufacturing techniques.
Flash Suppression
The new muzzle design virtually eliminates flash signature when viewed from sides and forward of the muzzle. SureFire claims flash suppression performance from first round through subsequent rounds, even when hot.
6mm ARC Platform
The SOCOM6-MINI4 is purpose-built for the 6mm ARC cartridge, which has gained traction for its balance of terminal performance and shootability in AR-15-pattern rifles.

What This Means
SureFire's SHOT Show 2026 announcements address three distinct market segments. The XC3 Sub fills a gap for users wanting duty-grade output on subcompact carry guns. The M640T Turbo delivers long-range identification capability in a lighter-weight Scout Light package. The SOCOM6-MINI4 brings SureFire's SOCOM-4 platform to the 6mm ARC cartridge.
The XC3 Sub's dual-battery compatibility offers flexibility: maximum output with the rechargeable SFRCR123, or longer runtime with disposable 123A cells. At 2.65 ounces, it maintains the weight profile expected for subcompact pistol lights.
The M640T Turbo's 70,000 candela puts it in the high-throw segment alongside Cloud Defensive's REIN 3.0 and Modlite's OKW series. SureFire's emphasis on end-user feedback driving development suggests demand for turbo performance in their non-Dual Fuel lineup.
The SOCOM6-MINI4 expands SureFire's next-generation suppressor family to a cartridge gaining adoption for precision AR applications. The claimed 60% back pressure reduction addresses a common complaint with suppressed semi-auto rifles.
