Radian Weapons Raptor SD Ambidextrous Charging Handle Up to 16% Off w/ Free S&H — 5 models
I measured my new Radian Raptor DS NP3 (won't fit in new Aero pistol upper) across the slot tabs and it measured .404". I then measured across the tabs of my PSA upper charging handle (no NP3) and it measured .400". So I tried the PSA charging handle in new Aero upper and it slid right in. Then I tried the new Radian Raptor DS NP3 handle in my PSA pistol upper and [it] slid right in. Lesson : PSA upper slot a little (unknown measurement) wider than Aero slot. Worked out ok since I have the suppressor on the PSA 300 blackout 8.5" upper. Good thing I kept my old inspectors gauges.
The Radian Weapons Raptor-SD Ambidextrous Charging Handle is not compatible with a handful of AR10 rifles that use a proprietary charging handle design. I could not find any information regarding the charging handle of that rifle and whether or not it is proprietary to function properly in that rifle. I recommend contacting Radian Weapons to confirm compatibility.
Gas Buster!

Running the Raptor SD in my rifle has proven to be a game changer. The difference is truly astonishing. The handle's ability to assist in gas mitigation is tip top, and anyone who is running a suppressed rifle should make the switch asap.
The Radian Raptor SD is one of the best gas defeating charging handles out there. Yes it's pricy but you get what you pay for. I use this in all my high end builds that I run suppressed.
I finally was able to try this out at the range and was very impressed. This is in my Dead Air suppressed Daniel Defense SBR with a JP silent capture spring. Would recommend this to anyone shooting suppressed.
I changed from a standard charging handle to this one! The feel of the handle feels so much more robust! Highly recommend and I am using this on a non-suppressed AR-15. Works great! I am looking forward to seeing how it performs with a suppressor.
