February 10, 2022 — West Valley City, UT — SilencerCo is excited to announce the release of their new Gas Defeating Charging Handle (GDCH) which significantly redirects the blow back 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 blow back, 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.
Product Specifications:
– Uses an O-ring seal to redirect blow back
– Machined from aircraft grade 7075 aluminum
– Type III Hard Anodize finish
– Features ambidextrous design for intuitive manipulation and smooth charging
– MSRP of $114.00

Ok, nice. Now make one with shorter handles for those of us that both conceal and run long distances with our weapons. (Charging handle in the sternum for 10 clicks sucks)
Interesting that the slow motion capture doesn’t include the PRI M84 handle that’s been available for over a decade. Maybe it works too well or something…
It doesn’t. I have one. PRI gas buster doesn’t do shit
No complaints using mine, but I was only expecting a small improvement – not a total lack of gas on a DI rifle.
these should be utilizing the beefiest stainless coil pins and not carbon steel split roll pins… to be honest who in the aftermarket game still even uses split pins here? Interesting innovation though!
Ha thought the same..
I have been using the “gas buster” for years. Except added a trick learned from service match shooting. Put a bead of black RTV silicone that creates a light tension fit.
Where does this bead of RTV go?
maybe this will do it out of the box.
I hope they have smaller levers available
Griffin SNATCH does well for a lot less money.
