Yankee Hill Machine (YHM) celebrated its 75th anniversary at SHOT Show 2026, showcasing a special 'Greatest Hits' box set featuring three of their popular suppressors (R9, Turbo T3, Resonator R2) in a unique gold Cerakote finish. They also introduced the Victra 20, a modular 20-gauge shotgun suppressor with user-configurable length from 10 inches down to 4 inches, capable of achieving 138 dB in its shortest configuration.

This video explores the unusual and potentially dangerous question of whether bacon can be cooked on a hot firearm suppressor. It frames the experiment as a "tactical cooking" event, combining a humorous and curious approach with a clear disclaimer to avoid attempting the action at home. The content seems to lean towards entertaining curiosity rather than practical application, with a focus on the novelty of the scenario and encouraging viewer interaction.

This video explores the concept and practicality of 'single stamp' AR-15 builds, where a suppressor is permanently attached to a short barrel to meet the 16-inch legal length requirement, avoiding NFA SBR registration. It delves into the technical aspects of fast twist barrels, like KAK Industry's 1:5 twist, discussing potential benefits for terminal ballistics and the risks of over-stabilization. While the single-stamp concept is niche, the review suggests modern integral suppressor systems are often superior to older direct-thread methods for such builds.

This SHOT Show Product Spotlight features Chris Graham from Yankee Hill Machine Co. (YHM) discussing their new shotgun suppressor and their plans for SHOT Show 2025. The video highlights YHM's extensive manufacturing experience, dating back over 70 years, with a focus on producing high-quality products for the AR-15 platform, including complete rifles, sound suppressors, and firearm accessories, all offered at affordable prices. YHM's booth at SHOT Show is located in the Venetian Expo, booth 20623.

Adjustable gas blocks on AR-15 platforms can become a significant failure point due to carbon buildup over time, leading to seized adjustment screws. This video highlights how a PSA barrel, designed for reliability with over-drilling, combined with an Aero Precision adjustable gas block, failed to cycle after years of use and carbon accumulation. The situation was exacerbated by a snapped adjustment wrench, rendering field fixes impossible, leading to the conclusion that properly ported barrels are often a more reliable long-term solution.

This video explores Magpul's unique custom firearms used in product photography, focusing on a custom Adams Arms piston dissipator build. The creator attempts to replicate and test this configuration, discovering it's mechanically impractical for a 16-inch barrel due to extremely short dwell time. Despite troubleshooting with a suppressor and buffer changes, the rifle remains unreliable, highlighting that while visually interesting, this specific build is not functionally optimal without significant modification.

Direct thread suppressors offer significant advantages over quick-attach systems, primarily in weight and length reduction, potentially saving over a quarter pound at the muzzle. They also minimize zero shift by providing a more consistent and permanent attachment, reducing variables that affect return-to-zero performance. For dedicated suppressed use, direct thread allows for simplified gas system tuning, enabling a smoother-shooting and more reliable rifle configuration.

This video demonstrates the Canik TP9 Elite Combat pistol equipped with a YHM R45 suppressor, Olight Baldr S light, and Vortex red dot. It showcases the firearm's performance during live fire at an outdoor range, highlighting the suppressed shooting experience and the pistol's cycling action in slow motion.

This video demonstrates the assembly and use of a YHM R45 suppressor on a Glock 45 pistol. It highlights the suppressor's effectiveness in reducing muzzle flip and sound during live fire. The Glock 45 is shown equipped with an Olight Baldr S weapon light and a Trijicon SRO-style red dot sight.
