Claim 0:
1. A method of reducing the possibility of burning oneself on a firearm suppressor using a suppressor shield, the method comprising:
receiving a firearm and the firearm suppressor, wherein the firearm suppressor is attached to or attachable to a barrel of the firearm and the firearm suppressor includes a nonperforated outer lateral surface adapted to contain gasses generated from discharging the firearm;
securing a housing of the suppressor shield at least partially around 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;
an insulating sleeve secured or attachable to the housing with at least a portion of the insulating sleeve residing between the internal surface of the housing and the outer lateral surface of the firearm suppressor when the housing is attached to the firearm suppressor;
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 is attached to the firearm suppressor;
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 unflexed radius of the internal surface of the housing having a value less than the sum of (1) an outer radius of the firearm suppressor and (2) a thickness of the insulating sleeve;

whereby at least some residual effects from discharging the firearm are dispersed throughout the suppressor shield.
