SiCo Gas Defeating Charging Handle

Anyone have any experience with this so far? SiCo Gas Defeating CH.

SilencerCo: Gas Defeating Charging Handle (GDCH)

The Gas Defeating Charging Handle (GDCH) significantly redirects the blowback of gas associated with shooting AR-15 platforms.

Update. Bought a couple to try on suppressed 223 Wylde and 300 Blk.
Seem to work as advertised. Definitely see a difference in blowback swapping between my Geissele SCH and this one. Hopefully they withstand time and use.

I've been wondering how long it's going to take for a manufacturer to actually make one of these work. I have the Radian SD but haven't shot with it yet.

That being said, CH prices have been insane for the last several years.

I have the G charging handle with the gas busting lip but don’t have a clue if it works as my gun has a LMT E carrier, adjustable gas block. So it’s not that gassy but it will get you when shooting inside a vehicle lol.

Eyes be watering like you just watched the Notebook.

Yeah, $114 is ridiculous but have been paying $90+ for Geissele’s for a good while so figured why not. If they pan out long term I’ll replace all my others.

Its not like PRI invented these over 20 years ago or anything........

I bought one for my PWS with 16 inch barrel and a YHM Turbo K after taking a class and really not enjoying the blowback. It replaced a Geissele SCH and really makes a difference. Worried the gasket won’t last but I’m sold on the results.

Too bad that kills the FA functionality.

I have never needed a forward assist.

And yes it's easier because it provides a cleaner exit path for gas.

I’ve never used the E-stop in an elevator, but I wouldn’t replace that button with a glory hole.

The only time I’ve ever used the FA was to close the bolt “quietly” after entering a deer blind. I now just chamber the round earlier and maintain some semblance of muzzle discipline while entering the blind.

However you want to word it. Its a more effective option.
