No difference. Suppressor is the "correct" terminology. Silencer is kind of like the slang version of suppressor.

Psh, I call them mufflers  that way the gubmint doesn't know what I'm talking about(ha, the stalkers) although I'm sure they'd know if the read my texts.
I figure some folks call mufflers "silencers" so why not apply the inverse

I must say I am kind of proud of myself. I'm learnin' from the best, right?
There are some benefits to asking a gazillion questions. And you all have been so patient and kind in answering each and every one. I thank you all.
I have changed the description of myself from "I am very new to guns" to just "I am new to guns".  That's progress!

While the PREFERRED term is suppressor, since no firearm is COMPLETELY silent, the term silencer is also used. For the purist, go to the National Firearms Act- the law that regulates them, and you will find the term "silencer".
