# YHM Levels Up Shotgun Game: VICTRA-20 Suppressor Drops Modular Firepower for 20-Gauge Fans
Yankee Hill Machine (YHM), the Arkansas-based innovators who’ve been cranking out top-tier suppressors since the ’90s, just unveiled the VICTRA-20—a game-changing modular sound suppressor tailored for 20-gauge shotguns. Slated for production kickoff in early 2026, this lightweight beast pairs with an intelligent mounting system that’s compatible across a murderers’ row of platforms: Remington, Mossberg, Browning, Winchester, Beretta, and Benelli. But they’re not stopping there—YHM’s also rolling out specialized Turkey and Skeet chokes for their existing VICTRA-12, optimizing patterns for everything from gobbler hunts to clay-busting competitions. At a time when suppressors remain unfairly stigmatized as silencers by anti-2A hysterics, this move screams practical innovation, making shotguns quieter, more versatile, and deadlier accurate without compromising the fun factor.
Dig deeper, and the VICTRA-20’s modular design is a masterstroke for the 2A community. 20-gauge owners—hunters chasing upland birds or parents introducing kids to the shooting sports—finally get a suppressor that doesn’t weigh down their lighter rigs like some clunky 12-gauge cans do. YHM’s intelligent mount isn’t just buzzword bingo; it’s a direct-thread or quick-detach system that adapts seamlessly, slashing POI shift and gas blowback for cleaner, hearing-safe sessions. Pair those new chokes with the VICTRA-12, and you’ve got surgical precision: tighter Turkey patterns for ethical one-shot kills at 40+ yards, or diffused Skeet spreads for breaking clays on the rise. This isn’t gadgetry for show—it’s real-world utility that enhances safety (hearing protection is non-negotiable) and expands shotgun utility in a suppressor-hostile regulatory landscape. With NFA wait times still a bureaucratic nightmare, YHM’s pushing the envelope on weld-free modularity could inspire broader adoption, proving suppressors are tools for responsible gun owners, not Hollywood villains.
The implications? Massive for 2A advocacy. As states like Iowa and Oklahoma continue chipping away at suppressor bans, products like the VICTRA lineup arm us with irrefutable evidence: these aren’t assassin toys—they’re hearing savers that make wingshooting more accessible and enjoyable. Expect the turkey woods and skeet fields to get a lot quieter (and more crowded with new shooters) come 2026. Pro tip: Stamp your Form 4 now and keep an eye on YHM’s site—YHM’s track record means this’ll sell out faster than free ammo at a range day. Who’s ready to suppress and impress?
