SUPER CHARGING HANDLES Reviews & Ratings

GEISSELE AUTOMATICS SUPER CHARGING HANDLES

The Super Charging Handle (SCH) is 3D machined from a solid block of aircraft grade 7075-T6 aluminum. Its ambidextrous design allows for seamless operation from either side of the weapon. The levers are dual contoured similar to that of the charging handle of an M14, where not only the x-axis but also the y-axis receive radius cuts.

The handling surface of the lever is checkered, adding a textured grip aiding to the use when operating with gloves. The heightened rear lip of the SCH aids in mitigating gas blow back to the shooter when shooting with short barreled and suppressed weapon systems.

All parts are then Type 3 Hardcoat anodized and are available in black and DDC (Desert Dirt Color).

Is it supposed to be two tone?

What an awesome feeling charging handle, ddc super is the best Ive used and will buy another. However, after looking at it closer , the ambi pieces on either side appear to be of a different batch, as the finish is off. I only bring it up because every other product from giessele has been flawless so this left me scratching my head. But it is still a nice feeling and functioning piece.

Excellent/pricey

Installed it, and took it out to my range. Loaded a few live rounds and a dummy round several times into several magazines. On the "click" I performed "tap, rack, bang" drills to clear the bad rounds. Never missed the charging handle, and Never failed to clear the problem. Handle cycled with no resistance (other than buffer spring tension), Fit and finish are excellent. However, with complete uppers going for a little over twice the price for this changing handle alone I feel it should be on sale for less. I'm always willing to pay for premium parts in my defensive tools. Buy markets fluctuate and costs should reflect current market values. I would buy again, and probably will. It is however still just three pieces of anodized aluminum roll pinned together. The price is a bit high given the current market, and pricing.

The item is super lite, almost feels like a piece of plastic but it's not. I had no issues with the fit or finish once it was in the weapon. I plan to use the heck out of it, just to make sure it's money well spent. I don't know if I would buy another at this time just because there are so many other charging handles in that same price range that are already tested and proven in the field. I'll update my review after I get some range time in and really get a better chance to put it thru its paces.
