Patent ID: 11221188

Abstract:
A suppressor for a firearm includes a casing having a front end and defining a longitudinal axis. A first plurality of baffles are inside the casing, and a front cap is downstream from the first plurality of baffles at the front end of the casing. A first retainer is connected to the casing and disposed between the first plurality of baffles and the front cap. The first retainer has an upstream surface and a downstream surface, and the first plurality of baffles, the front cap, and the first retainer define a fluid pathway along the longitudinal axis. A contoured wall extends axially upstream from the upstream surface of the first retainer and defines a plurality of damping wells in the upstream surface of the first retainer radially disposed from the fluid pathway and circumferentially separated by the plurality of apertures. The downstream surface of the first retainer is symmetrical with the upstream surface.
