Most Helpful Positive Review YHM Phantom flash hider

For a while now I have been wanting to upgrade my AR-15 from the standard A2 flash hider to something......different. I conducted my fair share of research on various muzzle devices and happened upon a flash hider. Once I decided on a flash hider I looked for the different brands types and styles. During this phase of my research I happened across the Yankee Hill machine Phantom compensator/flash hider. I found numerous reviews on The Phantom flash hider online that spoke very highly of it so I decided to give it a try, and I can tell you I am not disappointed at all. To any of you who might r...

Aggressive

by Ron, Verified Owner from TX, United States Written on March 4, 2025

Great flash suppressor and with the aggressive lip it can come in handy if you get in a close quarter situation. Also could come in handy if you end up too close to an angry or wounded pig while hunting. Plus it looks great. It does come with a crush washer, I didn't see that in the description but figured it would.

Pros:

Good functional flash suppressor

Cons:

None

Efective, efficient

by JWC, Verified Owner from OH, United States Written on November 22, 2024

Replaced the MilSpec birdcage on my rifle with a really beefy surefire flash hider that worked well but would take forever to cool off because of its mass. Melted a few spots in my bag with it.
This one from Yankee Hill is the goldilocks solution for me. Good as a flash hider, but light enough to cool off fast as well.

Pros:

EASY INSTALL
Performs as advertised
Cools fast

Cons:

None

Does what is intended.

Cons:

None

AR15 flash hider

good muzzle device

by pointman, Verified Owner from KY, United States Written on November 21, 2023

Overall good device,hides flash and looks very nice on the rifle, the included crush washer didnt work with my barrel, i couldn't get it timed correctly and had to use a different washer. After that it worked fine. You may or may not need shims.

Top rated for a reason

by Jim K., Verified Owner from PA, United States Written on October 23, 2023

These just flat out work. Nothing Fancy but man does it cut down Flash. A2 birdcage is really good, on a 16", this is good on a 16" or Pistol Length Barrel and has a lower signature.

3 and 4 prong work very well too but gotta watch the branding as some are basically tuning forks... so they may not see the Flash but they will hear the ring lol.

This is a great all around performer and worth the price.

Pros:

Flash hiding
Flash reduction
Economic and quality

Cons:

None

Best Used for:

Night vision
Night Operations

love these things

by Jason Edwards, Verified Owner from SC, United States Written on June 26, 2023

Love these things for 25 bucks. Good quality, looks cool, and does a pretty good job of killing flash while still acting as a compensator. Have a couple spares. Always grab an extra when I get a chance. Would recommend.

CANT BE BEAT!

by Fleezmo, from OK, United States Written on February 12, 2022

The YHM Phantom is in my opinion one of the most effective flash hiders at any price. AWESOME!! Looks cool and practically eliminates flash. Optics planet comes through again with exactly what I was looking for, and at a great price. Was looking at other much higher priced brands but the phantom was highly recommended by a friend with good reason.

Pros:

Great performance and price

Cons:

None

YHM-28-5C2

by Adolfo S, from IL, United States Written on February 10, 2021

So far it looks great after opening. It comes with a crush washer. While installing, it needed a full 360 degree turn to be clocked properly and I wasn’t going to do that, so I slipped a .005” shim before the crush washer and that worked perfectly!

Pros:

Nice comp/flash hider with an aggressive design

Cons:

It may not clock properly depending more or less threads on barrel muzzle

A very nice muzzle device

by Stefan, Verified Owner from TN, United States Written on February 6, 2021

Starting with the look it was no where near as bad as some of the reviews said. I was expecting a flatter black look that what came in the mail. I ordered a can of paint with this thinking I had to spay it and I didnt. YOU WILL ALSO NEED SHIMS TO TIME THIS CORRECTLY.

Pros:

nice look
Lightwegith

Cons:

needs shims

Best Used for:

1/2 x 28

Go ahead and buy it

by Tank, Verified Owner from NC, United States Written on May 1, 2020

Best bang for the buck flash hider out there, that is besides keeping your stock cage. Eliminates flash out of my 11.5 ar pistol while providing some compensation. It does make the firearm louder but it does it’s job well. Have been using Yankee hill for years. Does need to be timed correctly.

Pros:

Cheap, lightweight, eliminates flash, offers slight compensation

Cons:

None

Best Used for:

Any ar15 variant
