Spectre & Spectre II the same Suppressor ?

General silencer discussion. If you want to talk about a specific silenced rifle or pistol, it is best to do that in the rifle or pistol section for that brand.

Same tube, different baffles, different endcaps.

Nearly identical performance.

Spectre II is the new design, easier to take apart and clean after heavy use.

Another way to know is by looking at the serial number. The newer models are SPCT2-####

talking to C.S. at Silencerco, The can was Designated "Spectre II" right after the design change, but is now simply Spectre again. PT # SU145.

good point LB

Soooo .... the answer appears it could still be in the SN

On my original Spectre the SN is SPCT-####

On my Spectre II the SN is SPCT2-####

And on the new Spectre it looks like the SN starts with "SU"?
