Suppressor heat shield

Abstract

A suppressor heat shield is configured for use with a firearm suppressor. In one variant, the heat shield can be secured to the suppressor at its distal end using a retaining ring between the heat shield and the suppressor distal end. In another variant, the heat shield can be secured to a proximal end of the suppressor or suppressor mount via fasteners that extend through a mount portion of the heat shield and into threaded bosses on the proximal end of the suppressor or suppressor mount. The inside of the heat shield can include leaf springs arranged to reduce or eliminate movement and vibration. The geometry of stand-offs and other structures between the heat shield and the suppressor can be selected to reduce conductive heat transfer from the suppressor to the heat shield. A suppressor assembly that includes the heat shield is also disclosed.
