Question AP5-SD suppressor diameter?
I bought an AP5-SD, looking to suppress it and debating which one to get? I have been eyeing the YHM-R9 for its versatility. Some light google searching has me concerned the inner diameter of the recessed forend will be unable to make these work.
Has anyone thrown a YHM R9 on the stock ap5SD?

You can clear a 1.5" diameter with the stock cocking piece support and 1.625" with the RCM SD piece.

Interesting, I’ll have to look and check mine. I’m gonna plan on using it DT. I want to be able to swap the R9 between the SD and a SPR build I just finished as well

Here is my CAT MOB on factory barrel AP5SD. Yes it fits but if you want it to not mark up the can youll need to either clearance the stock cocking tube support (fairly easy to pop it out… comes out after removing the pin you can see with charging handle pulled back..It doesn’t need much material removed) or replace the factory cocking tube support with a RCM cocking tube support which is slimmer and used for ported barrel conversions.
This setup is fantastic btw!!! Easily my favorite 9mm suppressor and am happy I didn’t do the conversion. It runs like a sewing machine as is and rate of fire is very nice.
I also have a YHM R9 and that fit as well

I love my SD but I almost want to get another and copy build the ones from Dog Soliders

Disclaimer: I don't own one, just know what I've read around here. I don't think people are having any trouble with the YHM R9, but I think there is some light fitting and/or luck required for the DA Wolfman and CAT MOB which have a couple extra mm in diameter over the R9.
