1. A firearm recoil suppressor, comprising:

a base having a base fixture device at a first end and a boot plate at a second end, wherein the base fixture device is extendably coupled to the base using adjusting rods and wherein the boot plate is slidably coupled to the base;

a piston and cylinder shock absorber removably attachable to the boot plate and extending upwardly where it is removably attachable to a boot;

wherein the base fixture device is substantially perpendicular to the base for engaging a surface to prevent the base from moving during use; and

a collapsible barrel holder.

2. The firearm recoil suppressor of claim 1 , wherein the base fixture device comprises at least one spike or nail protruding from the base fixture device in a generally horizontal manner for engaging a surface.

3. The firearm recoil suppressor of claim 1 , wherein the boot is adapted for pistol grips.
