Yankee Hill Sidewinder M2 .45 ACP Suppressor .578×28

Description

The Yankee Hill Machine Sidewinder M2 is a direct-thread suppressor optimized for .45 ACP pistol platforms. It uses a redesigned booster that accepts the industry’s unofficial standard piston, enabling interchangeability with compatible pistons and tool-free piston swaps via a redesigned rear cap. The unit is user-serviceable: the baffle and Nielsen device can be removed for cleaning and maintenance using the provided disassembly tool. The Sidewinder M2 includes 12 index points that allow adjustment of point of impact while remaining attached to the host firearm, and was tested to Mil‑Std 1474D with an average dry sound signature reported as 133 dB on a Glock G21 using 230 gr FMJ.
