Radian Raptor-SD™ – Suppressor-Optimized Charging Handle
The Radian Raptor-SD™ is built for suppressed shooters who demand performance. Featuring a ported shaft, it redirects gas down and forward, reducing blowback to the shooter’s face. The ambidextrous design allows for smooth, rapid manipulation from either the strong or support side, making reloads and clearing drills faster and more intuitive.
Key Features:
✔ Suppressor-Optimized – Ported shaft helps mitigate gas blowback.
✔ Ambidextrous – Fast, fluid charging from either hand.
✔ Precision Machined – 7075-T6 aluminum for extreme durability.
✔ MILSPEC Hard Coat Anodized – Available in multiple Cerakote color options.
✔ Made in the USA – Built with quality and reliability in mind.
✔ Compatible with most AR-15/M16-pattern rifles.
Our Take:
This is our go-to charging handle for suppressed AR-15 builds. While it won’t eliminate gas blowback entirely, every little bit helps—and in our testing, Radian handles have proven to be some of the toughest on the market. We’ve run them in all of our personal platforms and test builds, and they’ve never let us down.
If you’re running suppressed, this is one of the best upgrades you can make.
