The SilencerCo Gas Defeating Charging Handle (brand part number AC5062) uses a proprietary O-ring seal to block gas from escaping at the charging handle, the most prominent point of egress on a suppressed or high-pressure AR-15. That seal cuts down significantly on the gas blown back into the shooter’s face, making for a noticeably more comfortable, enjoyable range session. The handle features ambidextrous, oversized levers for smooth charging and clearing from either side, and it’s manufactured entirely in-house from aircraft-grade 7075 aluminum. It works across all common AR-15 chamberings, making it a drop-in upgrade for shooters who run a suppressor often or just want less gas in their face.
