Rubber seal does the job for suppressed shooting - SilencerCo Gas Defeating AR-15 Charging Handle

I have two of these on both my suppressed SBRs. I guess I got lucky with my batch because mine did not fall apart like what the other reviewer experienced. Silencer Co just needs to keep their QC consistent and make sure these things dont fall apart because this is by far the most effective gas busting charging handle I have. I own the radian one with the vented ribs, Geissle, and precision reflex gas busting charging hadles, but those still leak gas under the charging handle.

The rubber “U” ring does a great job sealing the gasses out, but they do tend to get shaken off after a while of use. What I did to secure it was to melt both ends of the rubber seal into the charging handle to help secure it and keep it from slowly coming off. This is a good product with an efficient and simple solution to a common problem when shooting suppressed, but it could use some refinements either in the form of a more secure rubber seal installation and maybe a vent to channel the gasses away from the shooters face so the fouling doesnt just build up in the receivers especially when shooting under rapid fire or full auto. I’d give this product a solid 4.5 considering it doesnt fall apart like what the other reviews mentioned.
