The Geissele Automatics Super Charging Handle transforms AR-15 operation with its ambidextrous design and precision-machined construction. Built from 7075-T6 aluminum with hardcoat anodizing, this charging handle addresses the limitations of standard mil-spec handles through enhanced ergonomics and bilateral operation.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard charging handles that require off-hand manipulation, the Super Charging Handle features extended bilateral latches that allow operation from either side of the rifle. The oversized contact surfaces provide 40% more gripping area than mil-spec handles, while the reinforced stress points eliminate the flex and potential failure common in factory components. CNC machining from a single billet ensures consistent tolerances and eliminates weak points found in assembled alternatives.
Key Features
- Ambidextrous operation with extended bilateral latches for left or right-hand use
- 7075-T6 aluminum construction with Type III hardcoat anodizing for corrosion resistance
- Oversized contact surfaces provide enhanced grip and control under stress
- CNC machined from single billet eliminates weak joints and stress concentrations
- Compatible with all mil-spec AR-15 upper receivers and bolt carrier groups
- Gas deflection grooves redirect hot gases away from shooter's face
- Reinforced pivot points rated for over 50,000 cycles without degradation
Field performance demonstrates the practical advantages of this enhanced design. Competition shooters benefit from faster malfunction clearances and consistent operation regardless of shooting position. Law enforcement and military users appreciate the ambidextrous capability when transitioning between strong and support-side shooting positions. The enlarged contact surfaces maintain positive control even with wet or gloved hands, while the robust construction withstands the repeated cycling common in high-volume training environments.
