It looks reeeeeaaaaaallllly similar to the Raptor, just with different "handles". I am curious where the o-ring is located.

It's not any more expensive than the Raptor SD, so it might sell OK.

ETA: the o-ring kinda stretches cross the top and bottom in a U. The top is covered by the plate on the CH. It's clever. If it's not patented, I suspect we'll see cheaper versions.

Should I get my hopes up that the price of these (and the Raptor) will come back down to under $100?

First batch appears to be sold out already (but not before I got my order in…muahahaha…)

Hopefully SilencerCo is trolling us and they will do a real new product announcement later today.

Black RTV sealant is a whole lot cheaper!

SiCo regularly runs 20%-30% off sales. You should be able to get it under a hundred bucks eventually.

Just shoot your suppressed AR with a standard charging handle and quit being a p***y.

Good luck with that.

When shooting suppressed w/ my registered lowers, between the eye watering and cloud of smoke generated I can't see what I'm shooting at. First world problems

If my mask can keep COVID out it should work for this

Wait..you guys don't fire from the hip...

I've got Raptors in most of my rifles, until I tried BCM charging handles for nearly half the price. I'll never go back.

They're all "gas busting" these days. And the ones with the holes along the shaft to further mitigate gas are total BS - it does nothing.

I find charging handles a personal preference. I did the opposite. Had BCM charging handles in all my rifles and over the past 2-3 years, I dumped all for Radian Raptors. Being a lefty, comfort comes over price and, to me, there's no comparison.

Different strokes for different folks...

I'll concur with the second point though - seems to be a lot of gimmicks these days. That said - I'm sure at some point I'll try one of these Sico handles.

Fellow lefty here - totally hear ya. Norgon Ambi-catches, Radian ambi selectors…no brainers.

I have all Geisseles and Raptors right now and am happy enough w/ them. If the SiCo wasn’t totally ambi I would have passed on it.
