Claim:
A firearm suppressor baffle comprising a tube, a forward bulkhead, and a rear wall; wherein: the tube defines a longitudinal axis along which a projectile can pass through the baffle, the tube has a first end for receiving the projectile and a second end through which the projectile exits, a first side of the tube extends a first distance from the first end to an intersection of the tube with the forward bulkhead, a second side of the tube extends a second distance from the first end to an intersection of the tube with the rear wall, the second distance is greater than the first distance; a longitudinal slot extends from the first end of the tube to the intersection of the tube with the rear wall; the forward bulkhead occupies a first plane oriented generally orthogonal to the longitudinal axis, the forward bulkhead includes opposing front and opposing rear surfaces that extend radially outward along a first partial circumference of the tube; and the rear wall occupies a second plane oriented generally orthogonal to the longitudinal axis, the rear wall including opposing front and rear surfaces that extend radially outward along a second partial circumference of the tube, the second plane being different than the first plane.
