         2 . The silencer of  claim 1 , wherein it can be detachably fastened to the breechblock ( 6 ) of the portable firearm ( 5 ) by the end portion ( 11 ). 
     
     
         3 . The silencer of  claim 1 , wherein fastening means ( 15 ) are or can be arranged on the end portion ( 11 ) of the silencer ( 10 ) or the end portion ( 11 ) is designed as fastening means, wherein the silencer can be fastened to the breechblock ( 6 ) of the portable firearm ( 5 ) by means of the fastening means ( 15 ). 
     
     
         4 . The silencer of  claim 1 , wherein it can be moved together with the breechblock ( 6 ) of the portable firearm ( 5 ) relative to the gun barrel along the longitudinal axis (LA) of the gun barrel. 
     
     
         5 . The silencer of  claim 1 , wherein
 the end portion ( 13 ) of the barrel channel ( 12 ) of the silencer ( 10 ) facing the gun barrel of the portable firearm and   the barrel-channel opening ( 14 ) of the silencer ( 10 ) facing the gun barrel of the portable firearm are designed such that   the front end of the gun barrel and the barrel-channel opening ( 14 ) can be brought into engagement with one another when moving the silencer ( 10 ) together with the breechblock ( 6 ), and   the portion of the front end of the gun barrel that engages in the barrel-channel opening ( 14 ) can be freely moved in the end portion ( 13 ) of the barrel channel ( 12 ).   
     
     
         6 . The silencer of  claim 3 , wherein the fastening means ( 15 ) comprise:
 a magnet ( 15   a ), which is arranged on the end portion ( 11 ) of the silencer ( 10 ) and interacts with the breechblock ( 6 ) or with a counter-magnet ( 15   b ) arranged on the breechblock ( 6 ), or   a catch ( 15   c ) which can preferably be detachably arranged on the breechblock ( 6 ), wherein the catch
 is articulated to the end portion ( 11 ) of the silencer ( 10 ), or 
 can be detachably coupled to the end portion ( 11 ) of the silencer ( 10 ) by means of a quick-release means ( 16 ), wherein the quick-release means ( 16 ) preferably comprises at least one from the group comprising a dovetail joint, a screwed connection and a bayonet catch. 
   
     
     
         7 . The silencer of  claim 3 , wherein the end portion ( 11 ) of the silencer ( 10 ) is designed as a profile ( 17 ) that projects axially on the silencer housing ( 10   a ), wherein the inner profile ( 17   a ) of the profile ( 17 ) largely corresponds to the outer profile of the breechblock ( 6 ). 
     
     
         8 . The silencer of  claim 7 , wherein locking means ( 18 ) are provided on the profile ( 17 ) by means of which the silencer can be locked to the breechblock ( 6 ). 
     
     
         9 . The silencer of  claim 8 , wherein the locking means ( 18 ) comprise at least one of out of magnets, latching means, eccentric levers and locking rockers. 
     
     
         10 . The silencer of  claim 7 , wherein the silencer housing ( 10   a ) and the axially projecting profile ( 17 ) are formed in one piece/integrally. 
     
     
         11 . A portable firearm ( 5 ), in particular a pistol, comprising a silencer ( 10 ) according to  claim 1 .
