YHM R9 Silencer Review

[@scott2228]

I run an R9 on my 7” FM9. It’s an amazing can. The tri lug mount is perfection. I also use it on my 9” 300BLK until I decide on a can just for it.

[@notthatguy4515]

Thanks for the review. The information on customer service is making me reconsider this can. Which is regrettable.

[@csiets]

I had a stellar experience with YHM customer service. They replace my can free of charge and even sent me a check for 200$ to cover tax stamp. Love my R9 so much i bought a second one.

[@chrisparker309]

Ive had that sort of customer service with Griffin Armament..

[@ReaperOperator]

Since we're on the topic of silencers could you do a review of some good covers for them?

[@OreGear]

First I need to find some good covers

[@JNOSNOW]

I have given up on the covers. If they don't melt then they just keep all that heat in the can which is not ideal.

[@thadlm2698]

[@makevelicustoms]

The Mandingo customs wrap is the best cover there is 💪🏽

[@fattigla]

Too bad about the customer service problems. I had a great experience with getting one of the old legacy silencers fixed when I had an end cap strike. One of the main reasons I bought it was the great warranty. Shame they are not offering that any more.

[@gunlearning4628]

Very helpful thank you. I have also experienced long lead times. They could very well take off with better customer service.

[@joshadams7542]

Send your Turbo K to ECCO Machine. They’ll cut the Gen 1 end cap off and thread it to take dead air flash hider end caps. I did that with my Gen 1 resonator and their work is phenomenal, especially when they re-finished it in FDE Moly Resin. The work to convert the end cap was fairly affordable as well

[@j.p.4541]

Great review man, can you still run the regular bolt when running a suppressor on the K model?

[@thesoutherndrawBR]

Love my R9! Where did you put the engravings on the Z5P? Looking to SBR one soon and was curious. Thanks!

[@OreGear]

I put it into the groove on the side of the receiver

[@gunfighterman1-5]

I also have a Turbo K that I run on a 10.5" Sig 516 SBR piston system. I'm all but certain it must have the flash suppressor end cap. This is due to the extremely reduced flash during low light fire. Also I run a R9 on my Scorpion Evo3 S2 Micro SBR. Like you l really like YHM products but trying to talk to CS is like trying to talk to a brick wall.

[@__-pl3jg]

I'm not seeing any newer versions on their website that have flash hider capability. Was he talking about other brands?

[@webworksct]

the one he reviewed is the one with the flash hider front cap (permanent), he was saying the old one did not have that front cap.

[@ogreshavelayers1002]

Dead Air took 1-1/2 years to warranty my father’s Wolverine. Unbelievable.

[@OreGear]

That’s absurd

[@ogreshavelayers1002]

@@OreGear yeah they finally got back in touch with him after a year of the RMA process (it being in their possession) and told me they were having trouble getting the parts in which seemed odd to me. The collar did shear off on his but I didn’t think it would be that difficult to get it replaced. Glad we have it back but I was astounded at the wait. It was all done free of charge though which was nice.

[@ogreshavelayers1002]

@@OreGear by the way, I have an R9 also and I love it. I actually run it a bunch on an Arsenal 107cr with subs. Big Ol’ 255 grain pills. It’s so fun on that thing due to how compact it is. Warranty doesn’t cover 12.5 in 7.62x39 but the R9 is kind of just a fun rugged “budget” can as is. Videos on my channel if you want to see it hosted on that.

[@yellowchartreuse]

I appreciate this review because you don't constantly say "like," "actually," "kind of," "sort of" or "literally" for no reason. You did say "price point" (which does not mean price), but your video is not painful to watch the way so many other are because the reviewers can't construct a sentence. Keep it up.

[@gera2396]

It states 16" minimum, so it won't work with a 5.56 13.9 or 14.7 barrels?

[@OreGear]

Those numbers are indeed less than 16

This one is not 3d printed

[@anrati21]

Where’d you get the buttstock? And do you have a certain type of adapter?

[@OreGear]

These attach directly to the receiver. I believe I got this from RobertRTG.

[@JNOSNOW]

These arent bad but I think I would personally buy an Omega 9k over the R9.

[@PureCountryof91]

Youve convinced me to go Rex Silentium or Witt machine for a can. The way the CS treated you is appalling.

[@OreGear]

I don’t blame you one bit

[@americanmade422]

It's kind of crazy to expect them to upgrade your can for free with shipping cost etc. They got to make money and these cans are already low cost

[@OreGear]

At what point did I say I wanted them to do it for free?

No one cares.

I just did got it back and love it

[@BinaryPun]

Wow, sounds like I'll never buy from YHM.

[@xj1911]

LOL! Would you go to ford and tell Ford to put a new engine in your car? Thats not how it works. Get the new can and be done with it.

[@LosDoyerss]

I couldn’t imagine having an SBR with a fuggly stock like that.

[@xj1911]

You're telling them to do work on a can that is non serviceable and expect them to cut it and weld a new end cap on? And not pay for it? Just get the new can and be done with it. They are cheap for that reason.

[@OreGear]

Did you even watch the video? At one point did I say that? I made it very clear I was willing to pay for it.

[@xj1911]

@@OreGear either way, they just can’t do it. That’s not how the process works for mass production, CNC machines are programmed to do certain things, it takes hundreds of hours for them to get the process done right. They can’t just take a can and cut it and reweld. It would be faster and easier for them to just make you a new can. Hope you understand that. You’re talking custom work, that is not part of their manufacturing process.

​@@xj1911 they fix cans with end cap strikes WTF is the difference?

[@MR-bp3in]

Suppressor

[@OreGear]

Wrong

[@Brimwald]

​@@OreGear either works. Suppressor is more accurate, Silencer is the term the Feds use but the Feds have all kinds of dumb definitions for guns ("pistols are guns deisgned to be fired with one hand"...)

[@OreGear]

Silencer is more correct. It’s the name they were invented under, it’s the legal term. Suppressor is used by people who think that changing the names of things will stop the gun grabbers from trying to ban things.

[@virtuaguyverify]

Suppress-cer or Silen-cor ... same thing

[@ecobasetech4558]

@@OreGear "Suppressor is used by people who think that changing the names of things will stop the gun grabbers from trying to ban things." Not me. I prefer using "Suppressor" over "Silencer" for the sake of those that don't know any better and tend to form opinions based on the scary terminology that the gun grabbers use to convince the uninformed that these things are scary and evil. I refuse to use the terminology the gun grabbers like to use in a general discussion with people that are either not friendly to 2A or are indifferent. But that's just me.
