Very well engineered to pass mil-spec. There are a lot of tests the military requires a CH to pass. For one, the CH is not allowed to un-latch if the weapon is 100% rigidly affixed and fired. Some CH's have had issues with this even being fired from the shoulder, much less in a .mil test with 0 movement allowed (rigidly mounted weapon) (SNACH, early version, for example).
The second point is feel. I really like how the handles feel. They are not sharp ANYWHERE, and I have yet to be pinched, etc.
It's just very very well made, designed for more than looks, and functions great.
As pictured above, their bolt-catches are also exceptional, and catch roughly 100% more of the bolt than regular bolt-catches, in addition to being very ergonomic.

I honestly haven't seen a ambi Badger since the ones with the big skeletonized right side latches.
Any site sponsors sell them?

If the Snach had a port out to the left I would hop on it , I unfortunately only shoot lefty so the gasbuster or anything that vents to the right is a no go .

I found it of minimal value. The gas hangs in a cloud all around your hear/the upper. I have not had it "jet into my eyes". More "overwhelm me with its presence", lol, if anything. The strength of the SNACH (haha) is that it is a very well designed, and beautifully machined CH. Not its alleged abilities to make a suppressed weapon somehow not put gas in your face. Just my .02

I want to try the Geissele handle to see how it feels and if it works to limit gasface. I was expecting the price to be higher than it turned out to be. The Avalanche was sort of disappointing so I'm sticking to Raptors for now.

The ported handles don't do anything for suppressed use, in my experience. The gas comes out near your face still. I don't shoot nose to charging handle, so this may be a factor.
RTV silicone is your friend. I actually did my two Badger G3 handles last night, and cleaned them up this morning. Perfect seal.Will - Owner of Arisaka LLC - http://www.arisakadefense.com

The Geissele Super Charging Handle is my new favorite. It's superbly designed and made. The serrations on the front straps are surprisingly effective.
When I was playing with designing an ambi charging handle, the front straps had vertical serrations (as almost all AR charging handles do.) Geissele's SCH has horizontal serrations and vertical, and offer very good traction for both vertical and horizontal movement, something that I hadn't thought of.
They feel better than strictly vertical serrations.
The pocket inside the right latch is deeper than the one on the left, I'm not sure the rationale for it, but I'm sure Bill has his reasons.Last edited by Duffy; 13 July 2016 at 16:42.
