The SilencerCo GDCH (Gas Defeating Charging Handle) aims to reduce gas blowback to the shooter's face, particularly when running suppressed on AR-15 platforms. Testing indicates it significantly mitigates gas to the face, even with a short-barreled, suppressed 7.62x39 AR, though some smell and side-venting gas may still be present. The design features a rubber seal at the rear to improve its gas-blocking capability compared to standard and other aftermarket charging handles.

This video reviews the SilencerCo Gas Defeating Charging Handle, focusing on its effectiveness for left-handed shooters using suppressed firearms. The presenter, a left-handed shooter, demonstrates the significant gas blowback experienced with a standard charging handle when shooting suppressed. Upon installing the SilencerCo handle, which features a rubber gasket to redirect gas, the presenter notes a substantial reduction in gas to the face, particularly on the left side. While some gas is still felt, it's perceived as less severe and more manageable, allowing for better target acquisition. The review concludes that the product makes a noticeable difference for suppressed shooting, especially for left-handed individuals.
