         4 . The silencer according to  claim 3 , wherein the silencer housing ( 11 )
 has a substantially U-shaped profile, and   has a front (VE) and/or a rear (HE) end wall with which the profile is terminated,   wherein   an opening ( 25 ) is provided in the front and/or in the rear end wall, which opening is arranged substantially coaxially with a shot channel ( 20 ) formed in the silencer insert ( 50 ), when the silencer housing ( 11 ) is attached to the attachment rail ( 30 ) and/or to the silencer insert ( 50 ),   the shot channel ( 20 ) of the silencer insert ( 50 ) extends substantially coaxially with the firearm barrel ( 91 ) when the silencer is attached to the portable firearm ( 90 ).   
     
     
         5 . The silencer according to  claim 3 , wherein the silencer insert ( 50 ) is surrounded in the circumferential direction by the silencer housing ( 11 ) and the attachment rail ( 30 ) in a pressure-tight and gas-tight manner when the silencer housing ( 11 ) is attached to the attachment rail ( 30 ) and/or to the silencer insert ( 50 ). 
     
     
         6 . The silencer according to  claim 1 , wherein the attachment rail ( 30 ) extends over the entire length of the silencer insert ( 50 ). 
     
     
         7 . The silencer according to  claim 3 , wherein the silencer housing ( 11 ) comprises two plates ( 40 ), wherein the one plate ( 40   a ) can be attached to a longitudinal side of the silencer insert ( 50 ), and wherein the other plate ( 40   b ) can be attached to the longitudinal side opposite this longitudinal side. 
     
     
         8 . The silencer according to  claim 7 , wherein a longitudinal side of the silencer insert ( 50 ) is designed to be pressure-tight and gas-tight, and wherein the silencer insert ( 50 ) is surrounded in the circumferential direction in a pressure-tight and gas-tight manner by the two plates ( 40 ), the attachment rail ( 30 ) and the pressure-tight and gas-tight longitudinal side. 
     
     
         9 . The silencer according to  claim 4 , wherein the silencer housing ( 11 ) has guide grooves or guide springs which correspond to guide springs or guide grooves provided on the attachment rail ( 30 ) and/or on the silencer insert ( 50 ), wherein the guide grooves and guide springs are designed to push the silencer housing ( 11 ) onto the attachment rail ( 30 ) and/or onto the silencer insert ( 50 ). 
     
     
         10 . The silencer according to  claim 3 , wherein the silencer housing ( 11 ) can be locked to the silencer insert ( 50 ) and/or to the attachment rail ( 30 ) with locking means ( 45 ), in particular screws. 
     
     
         11 . The silencer according to  claim 2 , wherein the attachment rail ( 30 ) protruding in the axial direction has a substantially U-shaped profile at least in portions. 
     
     
         12 . The silencer according to  claim 11 , wherein a rear end portion ( 35 ) of the attachment rail ( 30 ) is designed in such a way that it rests, at least in portions, in a form-fitting manner on a trigger guard of the portable firearm ( 90 ) when the silencer is attached to the portable firearm ( 90 ), wherein the rear end portion ( 35 ) forms a supporting surface and the trigger guard of the portable firearm ( 90 ) forms a counter supporting surface, which together prevent the silencer from tilting downward when a shot is fired. 
     
     
         13 . The silencer according to  claim 11 , wherein the attachment rail ( 30 ) has:
 a first longitudinal guide ( 32 ) on the inner surface of a first side wall ( 31 ) of the U-shaped profile of the attachment rail ( 30 ), and   a second longitudinal guide ( 32 ) on the inner surface of a second side wall ( 31 ) of the U-shaped profile of the attachment rail ( 30 ).
