The raptor sd is the final word in charging handles — smooth, silent, and functionally perfect. - Radian Weapons Raptor SD Ambidextrous Charging Handle

The Raptor SD takes everything great about Radian’s legendary charging handle and adds integrated porting to vent gas away from your face — a must for suppressed builds like mine. It’s been flawless on my .300 Blackout AR pistol, where subsonic and supersonic loads run suppressed and unsuppressed.

The ambi design is intuitive, strong, and fast — no flex, no rattle, just crisp, precise pulls from either side. The gas venting actually works, reducing blowback noticeably under suppression. Machining is immaculate, and the Type III hardcoat anodizing holds up to real use.
