YHM Suppressor Technology
YHM suppressors utilize advanced baffle designs and premium materials to deliver maximum sound reduction while maintaining exceptional durability. Our tubeless, fully-welded construction primarily uses 17-4 stainless steel along with high-performance Cobalt 6 steel in critical components such as blast baffles, creating suppressors that can withstand rigorous use, including full-auto fire, while remaining lightweight enough for practical applications. The innovative Phantom Quick Disconnect (QD) system allows for rapid attachment and removal while maintaining near-zero shift, and our industry-standard 1.375"-24 HUB mounting threads provide compatibility with a wide range of adapters and accessories.
