YHM ‘Bad Larry’ Rifle Suppressor Earns NTOA Gold Designation

The National Tactical Officer’s Association (NTOA) membership has tested and rated the ‘Bad Larry’ rifle suppressor from the Yankee Hill Machine Company (YHM) with Gold.

“We’re thrilled to receive this recognition so soon after introducing our new big-bore rifle suppressor at SHOT ’24 in January,” said Chris Graham, president of Yankee Hill Machine Company. “Based on marketplace feedback in recent years, we sensed a real need for a fairly priced, high-quality suppressor that met the needs of the larger-caliber and long-distance shooter. Bad Larry was our answer, and it’s extremely rewarding to learn of this designation from NTOA.”

The Bad Larry was evaluated by the NTOA members for factors including design, quality, durability, versatility and accuracy, and was rated an average 4.85 out of a possible 5.

Tester comments included, “It felt bomb-proof”; “Once dialed in, we were shooting cloverleafs”; and “You can’t go wrong with this addition to your weapon system.”

An additional feature that makes Bad Larry ideal for a wide spectrum of shooters is its multi-caliber compatibility, ensuring versatility in various scenarios. The suppressor is formally rated for the .338 Lapua Magnum, and it also functions optimally with 8.6BLK, all .300, 7mm, 6.5mm, 6mm and other centerfire rifle cartridges down to 5.56mm.

Added Graham, “Bad Larry was engineered for versatility. Its robust construction of heat-treated 17-4 PH stainless steel and Cobalt 6 ensures longevity and performance. At YHM, we maintain our commitment to economic accessibility without compromise, making this Bad Larry an ideal choice for those seeking a top-tier suppressor at a reasonable price.”
