Surefire SOCOM 556 RC (http://www.silencershop.com/silencers/5-56mm-rifle/surefire-socom-556-rc-5063.html?) VS the 556 RC2 (http://www.silencershop.com/silencers/5-56mm-rifle/surefire-socom556-rc2.html?). We test out both and see how the newest silencer from Surefire compares to the last generation.

Seems like very similar performance. I've got 2 SOCOM 1's and looks like there isn't any reason to "upgrade" I've heard from a Surefire Rep that reduced first round flash and back blast was the main difference.

Could be but it is hard to quantify that. We just do sound tests.

Like I said last time, this is why I envy you, you get to test out all the latest gear before you decide. Is Surefire still producing any Legacy Cans?

They still have some of the RC's that they are sending out but everything is moving over to RC2's.
