Suppressors, also known as silencers, have been available to the public since 1902 when Hiram Percy Maxim patented the first successful commercial suppressor. For over a century, silencers have seen advancements in materials, design, and manufacturing processes making them more reliable, affordable, and accessible to the public. As a result, modern suppressors are becoming more popular for recreational shooters, hunters, and law enforcement.
Silencers reduce sound, recoil, and muzzle flash by diverting gasses that propel the bullet through the firearm barrel through baffles. These baffles divert, slow, and cool the gasses within the suppressor.
Silencers are generally made from these core parts.
YHM suppressors support firearms including:
Our suppressors support firearms utilizing calibers including:
Suppressors are legal in most states but are regulated by Federal and State law. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (BATFE) has rules and regulations for legal ownership.

YHM offers a variety of suppressor accessories so you can enjoy and maintain your silencers including:
YHM manufactures a variety of Q.D. (quick disconnect) muzzle brakes including our sRx™ and Phantom models.
These brakes can be used with a suppressor as the mounting platform or as a standalone muzzle brake for excellent recoil control. All brakes are matched to the caliber and precisely manufactured for a simple installation every time.
We also manufacture Q.D. flash hiders including our sRx™ models and Phantom models. Yankee Hill Machine flash hiders are highly effective and often reduce muzzle flash by 99%. They’re available in a variety of bore sizes and thread mounts to fit almost any application.
YHM® was founded in 1951 by Wallace Judd and James Graham, in an area of Massachusetts known locally as “Yankee Hill.” James had recently finished a tour of duty in Korea and saw an opportunity to help those he served by manufacturing firearms and accessories.
Through years of dedication and adaptation, YHM® has managed to keep those original goals in place while also becoming a full-service OEM Manufacturer.
Since 2013, Yankee Hill Machine has been owned and operated by the third generation of the Graham family-brothers, Chris and Kevin. Today, their mission is to offer high-end, durable products at an affordable price without sacrificing quality. All products are made in the USA and designed to exceed your expectations.
Suppressors are legal in most states but are regulated by Federal and State law. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (BATFE) has rules and regulations for legal ownership.
Currently, the following states allow private ownership of suppressors with appropriate federal tax stamps:
AL, AK, AZ, AR, CO, CT, FL, GA, ID, IN, IA, KS, KY, LA, ME, MD, MI, MN, MS, MO, MT, NE, NV, NH, NM, NC, ND, OH, OK, OR, PA, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, VA, WA, WV, WI, WY.
If you live in one of these states, you should still verify that owning a suppressor is legal in your area as local laws are subject to change.
CA, DE, HI, IL, MA, NY, NJ, and RI have banned the civilian ownership of suppressors. Washington DC does not allow the civilian ownership of suppressors.
No. You do not need to have a license to buy a suppressor. The only requirement is buying a tax stamp with the initial purchase. There are no more fees or permits needed for your silencers after you buy them!
Silencers reduce noise pollution and help prevent hearing damage. Silencers also reduce recoil, almost eliminate muzzle flash, and improve accuracy.
Suppressors typically reduce the sound as much as or better than traditional hearing protection like ear plugs and muffs.
Yes. You should always wear hearing protection when shooting firearms. While some say it is optional, it is recommended to use hearing protection to avoid hearing loss.
YHM performs all of the design, research, development, manufacture, and assembly of all of our suppressors. This allows us to design the suppressor to be manufacturing-friendly, which reduces the cost of making the suppressor.
A Class 3 dealer in your state of residence will handle all of the final paperwork and payment for the suppressor. You can also check out some of our partners for other ordering and delivery options like Silencer Shop and Capitol Army.
ATF wait times can vary wildly from year to year or even month to month. Please call our sales staff for up-to-date average wait times.
Suppressor and Silencer are interchangeable terms and mean the same thing. “Suppressor” is more technically accurate as a suppressed firearm isn’t silent, it just has a lower report. “Silencer” is how Hiram Percy Maxim referred to his new invention in his patent and is the legal term adopted by the U.S. Government.
Most suppressors can accommodate SMALLER rounds than their caliber designation. For example, .22 caliber ammunition is safe to shoot through a .30 caliber suppressor. There are exceptions to this rule. For example, it is NOT safe to shoot .22 caliber centerfire rifle rounds through suppressors rated for 9mm Parabellum. If you have questions or doubts, please call our sales staff.
The most common is a Q.D. (quick disconnect) mount. Other mounting options include direct thread mounts, 3 lug mounts, and pistol/booster mounts. YHM offers a variety of mounting options including Q.D. flash hiders and muzzle brakes. Here is an instructional video showing how our Q.D. mounts work!
