Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the new YHM R45 Multi-Host Suppressor. Last week we spent some time shooting the AAC Element 3 rimfire suppressor. This week we take a pause to kickoff the holiday season – and because I have been sick most of the week and couldn’t get out on the range to finish my KAC QDC/MQT-PRT review. So I guess I am thankful for my returning health.
More KAC @ TFB:
- SILENCER SATURDAY #236: Knight’s Armament 556 QDC CQB – Full Auto KAC SR-15
- SILENCER SATURDAY #235: The Knight’s Armament KAC 762 QDC

We have two 5.56 suppressor reviews coming up in the next few weeks. The first is a tiny little guy from Knights Armament. I’ve had it out on the range a few times, but it still needs more testing.
