GMS-15-EVO Charging Handle

I have tried many similar charging handles (SNACH, gas buster, etc) and was unimpressed with them all, probably 400$ or more spent on trying to make shooting suppressed more comfortable. I could have saved a lot of money if I had just found the GMS 15 evo first. ZERO (I mean literally none) gas to the face, I was thrilled I finally found the perfect charging handle! Aside from working as advertised to prevent gas blowing into your face, the latches are solid and easy to grip, it did not come unlatched during firing a single time 200 rounds and counting. Charging with either hand is easy and comfortable, and this thing is really built well. As soon as they are back in stock I’ll be ordering 5 more to replace all my other charging handles. I’m just happy to find a product that finally does all it says it will do.

This charging handle is amazing for well-optimized adjustable gas suppressed builds and is the last to get rid of gas in the face. I run both an 11.5" mid and 13.9" mid gas barrel setup on two of my rifles. I have them running right on the edge of reliable function without the suppressor. Prior to this handle, I was using a Radian Raptor-SD and would still get small, albeit noticeable gas in the face -obviously much more if doing high-pace drills with rapid fire/magdumps. After putting in the EVO, I could magdump all day and it was noticeably better/more comfortable than the Raptor-SD. Having the button-type design is both a gift and a curse - it prevents snags a bit better than the free handles like the Geisseles and Radians, but it is somewhat less forgiving when it comes to charging the system. The only gripe I have is that the locking latch itself could use a little more support as it tends to have some yaw/lateral axis movement when depressing the left side button (ALF) and gets stuck on some upper receivers (I use Aero Slicks). Overall a well thought out product and was well worth the wait to order a few of these and swap out the handles on my suppressed rifles!
