Abstract
The herein proposed device relieves an autoloading handguns' barrel from the weight of the silencer allowing it to cycle properly. This improved booster housing for a silencer affords the user ten positions of orientation. A more robust orientation mechanism which minimizes rotational movement of the associated piston when it is fully seated within the booster housing is provided for. Increased accuracy of the host firearm is achieved through the minimization of rotational play. My improved booster housing design is lighter in weight than other similar designs and utilizes a coaxial expansion chamber between the housing and the interior of the silencer tube to increase sound reduction.
