YHM PHANTOM 22 SUPPRESSOR - LIGHTWEIGHT USER-SERVICEABLE RIMFIRE SILENCER, .22 LR TO 5.7X28
The YHM Phantom 22 is a lightweight, user-serviceable rimfire suppressor for pistols and rifles, weighing 4 oz with a 5.5" length and a 1.1" diameter. This .22 LR suppressor is also rated for .17 HMR, .22 MAG, and 5.7x28, and it uses a shielded interlocking baffle stack made from heat-treated 17-4 stainless steel, with indexing tabs on each baffle to ensure proper orientation during reassembly. The finish is black Cerakote, and YHM rates the Phantom 22 at 115 dB on .22 LR. The model number is YHM-4380.
The outer assembly consists of two parts. A 7075-T6 aluminum blast chamber bears the serial number, and a 6061-T6 aluminum tube houses the baffle stack. The blast chamber has a stainless steel 1/2x28 thread insert to prolong the life of the mounting threads, and an aluminum muzzle cap holds everything together. The rear of the blast chamber also serves as the takedown tool for the muzzle cap, so the disassembly tool is always on hand when it's time to clean.
The Phantom 22 threads directly onto standard 1/2x28 rimfire barrels. For hosts with other thread patterns, adapters like the Walther P22 / S&W M&P22 Adapter, Sig Mosquito Thread Adapter, and CMMG FNH PS90 Thread Adapter make the connection. YHM lists no barrel length restrictions for .22 LR and a 10" minimum for .17 HMR, .22 MAG, and 5.7x28.
CAPITOL ARMORY'S OPINION
There's no shortage of rimfire suppressors out there, but a lot of them either cut corners on materials to hit a price or pile on weight trying to do too much. We think the Phantom 22 dodges both. YHM keeps the outer assembly aluminum to hold the weight down to 4 ounces, then uses heat-treated 17-4 stainless steel for the baffles and a stainless thread insert where durability counts. Four ounces is light for a .22 can, and you really feel the difference on a pistol, where a heavy suppressor throws off the balance.
Cleaning is where the Phantom 22 really won us over. If you've ever cleaned a rimfire can, you know that moment of putting the baffles back together and wondering if you got the orientation right. The indexing tabs take the guesswork out of it. And since the rear of the blast chamber doubles as the takedown tool for the muzzle cap, you're never digging through your range bag for the right tool.
For most shooters, this is going to be a dedicated .22 LR can for a threaded rimfire rifle or pistol, and in that role we think it performs well above its price tag. The 5.7x28 rating is a nice bonus if you own a PS90, since the CMMG thread adapter handles the connection. Just keep in mind that YHM requires at least a 10" barrel for 5.7x28, .22 MAG, and .17 HMR.

What calibers can the YHM Phantom 22 suppress?
The Phantom 22 is rated for rimfire calibers up to 5.7x28, which covers .22LR, .22WMR, and 5.7x28. For most shooters this is a dedicated .22LR can, and that's where it shines. It's ideal on a Ruger 10/22, a Ruger Mark IV, a threaded .22 pistol, or similar rimfire hosts. The 5.7x28 rating is a bonus if you're running an FN Five-seveN or PS90, though you'll need a thread adapter to make that connection. For easier cleaning, stick to high-velocity or subsonic jacketed or copper-plated .22LR.
What is the thread pitch on the YHM Phantom 22, and what hosts does it fit?
The Phantom 22 uses a 1/2x28 thread pitch, which is the standard for the vast majority of threaded rimfire barrels. Most modern threaded .22LR rifles and pistols, including the Ruger 10/22, Ruger Mark IV, Smith & Wesson M&P 22, and Browning Buck Mark, are already cut to 1/2x28 and will accept the Phantom 22 directly with no additional hardware. For hosts with non-standard threading, YHM and SilencerCo both offer compatible thread adapters. The Walther P22 / S&W M&P22 Adapter, Sig Mosquito Thread Adapter, and Sig Sauer & GSG 1911 .22LR Adapter are all compatible options. For 5.7x28 hosts, the SilencerCo FN 5.7 Adapter and CMMG FNH PS90 Thread Adapter handle the thread pitch conversion.
Is the YHM Phantom 22 user serviceable?
Yes, and this is one of the stronger selling points of the Phantom 22. Rimfire suppressors need regular cleaning. .22LR is a dirty cartridge and lead fouling accumulates in the baffles faster than centerfire carbon does. The Phantom 22 is designed to be fully disassembled and cleaned at home. The stainless steel baffles unthread from the two-piece tube, and each baffle features indexing tabs that physically lock them into the correct orientation during reassembly. That matters more than it sounds. Anyone who has cleaned a rimfire suppressor knows the uncertainty of wondering whether the baffles went back together correctly. The indexing tabs eliminate that entirely. The integrated cleaning tool built into the rear cap means you don't need to track down a separate tool. It's there every time, whether you're at the bench or at the range.
How much does the YHM Phantom 22 weigh and how long is it?
The Phantom 22 weighs 4 ounces, which puts it among the lightest rimfire suppressors on the market. Weight matters more on a rimfire pistol than it does on a rifle. A heavy can on a .22 pistol noticeably shifts the balance. At 4 ounces, the Phantom 22 keeps muzzle-heavy balance concerns to a minimum on pistol hosts. On a rifle platform like a 10/22 or Ruger Precision Rimfire, it's light enough that you'll barely notice it. YHM achieves this through the two-piece tube design, which uses a lighter material for the outer tube body while keeping stainless steel where heat and blast pressure are highest.
Is the YHM Phantom 22 rated for full-auto fire?
Yes. The Phantom 22 is rated for semi-automatic and full-auto fire. .22LR generates relatively low pressure compared to centerfire cartridges, but full-auto rimfire still produces rapid heat buildup that some aluminum or lightweight rimfire cans aren't designed to handle continuously. The Phantom 22 will hold up without a problem under aggressive rates of fire. If you're planning to run a registered full-auto rimfire host, the Phantom 22 will do the job.
