When you’re a legacy company, one that others have been chasing for decades, you can’t just release a new product on a whim. There are expectations and anticipations to manage, because they’re held to a higher standard. SureFire is one such company.
When Dr. John Matthews (see RECOIL Issue 35) made the first viable weapon-mounted light, he had to start with a blank sheet of paper. Everyone else? They sat a SureFire in front of them. While SureFire certainly didn’t invent the modern silencer (their suppressor division wasn’t founded until 2002), when it comes to hard-use, bomb-proof, duty-rated regulators they set the standard back in 2015 with the RC2.
And before we get too far ahead in this piece about the latest, it needs a good choice for duty use to this day.
