SilencerCo Gas Defeating Charging Handle

Until now, gas blowback stinging the eyes of those shooting suppressed AR-15s has been a fact of life, but SilencerCo designed its Gas Defeating Charging Handle (GDCH) to prevent watery, stinging eyes from dampening any range experience.

Unlike other designs on the market, the GDCH is built with a proprietary O-ring seal that prevents gas from blowing back through the upper receiver and into a shooter’s face. Machined from 7075 aluminum, the GDCH features bilateral charging handles and ships with one installed O-ring and one spare.

MSRP is set for $114. For more information, please visit silencerco.com.
