That's because the SOCOM silencer made for the Mk 23 is 16mm threading, not 14mm as on the CA and guarder.
Hotel, There won't be any differences between the two brands, one isn't better than the other. They're both metal, pretty good quality, so buy whichever one is cheaper. The M4 uses 14mm counter clockwise (anit-clockwise, and negative, all three mean the same thing) threading, so you'll need the silencer to match. I don't know what your 18c's threaded barrel uses. If they are different, then you can't use the same silencer.

Yes, the threading on your M4 barrel is counter clockwise, so you need to buy a couter clockwise threaded silencer. And yes, if you want to use the same silencer on your glock, you'll need to get a counter clockwise threaded barrel.

One company makes a dual-thread suppressor also. CCW on one end, CW on the other. If you were to purchase that, you wouldn't have to worry about anything other than having a 14mm interface.

Yes, there is that option, but it's not a SOCOM silencer. I think it was Minky that has one of those.

Iv seen the SOCOM in person, my friend has it, but i havent seen it in a while, It looks great on his M4 but i always thought it would look goofy on a glock. You know like a bit to long?

^^^^^^^^ Read up top
The MK23 socom wont fit on the 14mm threads that the M4 and Glock 18c (threaded barrel) have
