Shot Show 2019 Product Spotlight: YHM Turbo K Suppressor

Another popular stop while at the recent 2019 Shot Show in Las Vegas was at the booth of our good friends from Yankee Hill Machine. As usual they have came out with several new quality products for the upcoming year. The one that caught our eye was their new Turbo K Suppressor.
The Turbo® K utilizes a tubeless design made from heat treated 17-4 stainless steel along with a heat treated 718 Inconel® blast baffle. The combination of these materials allows the suppressor to be full auto rated and designed for rigorous use. The blast chamber of the Turbo® K is threaded to the popular 1-3/8”-24 thread which allows it to utilize many available mounting options currently on the market.
The overall length measures 4.9” when in the direct thread configuration and weighs in at 10.5 oz. When using YHM’s Q.D. adapter, the overall length is 5.5” and weights in at 11.7 oz. Having an average sound pressure level of 138dB on a 16” AR shooting 55 grain ammo, the Turbo® K is within the hearing safe threshold of 140 dB.
With an MSRP of $465 (which includes both direct thread and Q.D. mounts), the Turbo® K was created to supply the modern suppressor community with a full-featured suppressor at an affordable price.
The TURBO® K comes with a YHM-3102-28A mount, Q,D. adapter and 1/2”-28 direct thread adapter. It will fit all YHM-5M2
