The Radian Weapons Raptor-SD Charging Handle (brand part number R0561) is a silencer-optimized, ambidextrous charging handle finished in Radian Gray for Mil-Spec AR-15/M16-pattern uppers. Its gas-ported shaft is engineered to redirect propellant gas down and forward, away from the shooter’s face, when running the rifle suppressed, cutting down on the gas blowback that a suppressor can push back through the action. The ambidextrous design supports rapid palm-blading or finger-thumb charging technique, keeping the motion fluid and fast whether a shooter is working the handle from their strong side or support side.
