Claim 10:
11. A suppressor shield for protecting oneself from a hot firearm suppressor, the suppressor shield comprising:
a housing configured to at least partially enclose the firearm suppressor via an interference fit, wherein the housing includes:
a bore extending in a longitudinal direction, the bore establishing a rigid lateral wall and an interior receiving space for receiving at least a portion of the firearm suppressor;
an outer surface;
an internal surface establishing the boundaries of the bore;
a proximal aperture having a diameter greater than a diameter of the firearm suppressor, thereby allowing the firearm suppressor to be received within the bore;
a distal projectile aperture;
a longitudinal slot extending a length of the housing, such that a diameter of the internal surface of the housing can change from an unflexed diameter to a larger diameter when the housing is subjected to a force;

an insulating sleeve configured to reside between the internal surface of the housing and an outer lateral surface of the firearm suppressor when the housing is attached to the firearm suppressor;
the internal surface of the housing having a radius that is less than the sum of (1) an outer radius of the firearm suppressor and (2) a non-compressed thickness of the insulating sleeve;
whereby the insulating sleeve prevents the internal surface of the housing from directly contacting the outer lateral surface of the firearm suppressor when the housing encloses at least a portion of the firearm suppressor to reduce the transfer of heat from the firearm suppressor to the housing.
