The Geissele USASOC Airborne Charging Handle, Short, DDC (brand part no. 05-664S) is built to the USASOC Airborne charging handle pattern, a design Geissele developed for military use before offering it to civilian shooters. It uses a short-style latch, keeping the handle’s footprint compact against the upper receiver rather than extending far to the rear. Geissele machines this charging handle from 7075-T6 aluminum and finishes it with a Type III hardcoat anodized coating for corrosion resistance. It ships finished in Desert Dirt Color to match Geissele’s DDC handguards and other accessories.
