Surefire SOCOM556-RC2 vs SOCOM556-RC3

[Abagnale]

Debating which one to get. Is the SOCOM556-RC3 really that much better?

Both are great military grade cans. Not the quietest, but built strong and repeatable poi shift. If $$ isn’t an objection, go for the rc3. Seems like flow through cans are the hot ticket right now. Check out Huxwrx too.

At first blush, I'm not seeing a giant difference between the two(or three if you throw in the SB-2) size and weight wise.

The big difference are the added features, especially the first feature.
