Didn't Geissele do a branded raptor there for awhile? I guess they got tired of paying royalties to AXTS

Unless I'm missing something, this design doesn't do anything for me over a standard raptor (which I love and have several).
Im much more interested in the Griffin Snach

Like anything Geissele builds, I'm sure this will be a tank. Looks like it will also do well to mitigate some gasses coming back at the shooter for suppressed guns. Looking forward to my sample.

My first charging handle was a raptor... it was great. Nothing wrong with it in any way. I sold it though to a forum member here.
That said the SNACH is on another level if you ask me. It's definitely robust and a pleasure to use. It's more robust IMO than the Raptor.
As far as effectiveness of keeping gas out of your face... I don't really have anything to test it against anymore but it seems like it works fine.
I've been doing some homework on this stuff and I think it depends largely on the gun you put it on and the type of ammo used. The back pressure and as the griffin guys say 'popping the cork' ie the bullet leaving the muzzle on an 18" gun is at a far different level than the pressure of the bullet leaving a 10.5" or other shorter barrel.
A 20" barrel has half the PSI of a 10.5" barrel as well as twice the internal volume and twice the distance...so all that will come into play with how 'effective' the SNACH will be at diverting gasses.
I know on my 16" gun I haven't even had a whisper of gas hitting me in the face. I think it's a combination of the ammo, the can, the barrel length and possibly other stuff....
But the SNACH is definitely a good charging handle....

Geissele Automatics T1 Mount & Charging Handle
Wasn't $90 about the price point where raptors were introduced?
Edit: I'm single and work too much so I don't spend my money on much other than food and gun parts. I'm bound to inevitably grab one of these as long as they stay under $100. Though I'll probably wait awhile.Last edited by Battle Cock; 7 January 2016 at 23:29.
