I’m looking for a charging handle for my ar-15 & ar-10 I’ve been told their maybe some that deflect the gas away from the shooters face better than others when the rifle is suppressed. What is everyone’s experience with this and do you have any recommendations for me? Thank you.

Gasket seal works well.

The RTV gasket seal is the cheapest and easiest way to cut down on gas to the face, but it still has extra backpressure that can be violent on your recoil system.

You could get an adjustable gas block to cut down on the amount of blowback but then you have to adjust every time you go from suppressed to unsuppressed and the weather can also affect how well it functions.

What I did myself was the most expensive solution, but also the easiest to adjust from unsuppressed to suppressed shooting and it also redirects the gas out the ejection port instead of back towards your face, and gets rid of the vioence.
Gemtech BCG. A little over $200 but I'm glad I went that route.
