If you’ve shot a suppressed AR-style rifle, you’ve more than likely experienced the unpleasant effect of excess gas blowing back into your face as a result of shooting suppressed.
SilencerCo has launched a Gas Defeating Charging Handle that uses tighter tolerances to create a more precision fit to the upper receiver. Add to that a rubber O-ring to significantly reduce the amount of excess gas that escapes under the charging handle.
It’s a simple design that also centers around an ergonomic and ambidextrous lever that’s well made and easy to use.
SilencerCo Gas Defeating Charging Handle
SilencerCo is excited to announce the release of their new Gas Defeating Charging Handle (GDCH) which significantly redirects the blowback of gas associated with shooting AR-15 platforms. Compared to similar products on the market, SilencerCo’s Charging Handle has a unique attribute: it actually works.
The GDCH has a proprietary design feature that incorporates an O-ring seal to prevent gas from escaping from the most prominent point of egress. This seal mitigates the amount of gas that is blown back into the shooter’s face, creating a more comfortable and enjoyable shooting experience.
In addition to significantly redirecting blowback, the GDCH offers ambidextrous levers for a smooth process when charging or clearing a rifle. It is completely manufactured in-house and is machined from aircraft-grade 7075 aluminum. Shooters can utilize the GDCH with all common chamberings for the AR-15 platform.
“It’s been a long time since we have seen a product that so greatly improves the user experience while shooting the AR platform suppressed,” said Product Manager, Andrew Herbst. “Now shooters don’t have to choose between protecting their hearing and dealing with hot gas blowing into their eyes and affecting their ability to breathe. The SilencerCo Gas Defeating Charging Handle is the answer to this common problem.”
The GDCH has an MSRP of $114.00 and is available through the SilencerCo webstore and at local dealers. It will be shipped with one O-ring already installed and one spare.
