The Radian Raptor-SD (Suppressor Direct) is the ambidextrous charging handle of choice for suppressed builds, featuring integrated venting slots machined into the latch area that redirect blowback gases from the charging handle gap downward and away from the shooter's face during suppressed fire. In unsuppressed use, the Raptor-SD functions identically to the original Raptor — oversized latches on both sides provide equal manipulation capability from the left or right hand, and the latch spring tension is light enough for a three-finger pull but stiff enough that the handle doesn't rattle open under recoil. Machined from 7075-T6 aluminum with a Type III hard coat anodize. The Raptor-SD has become nearly standard equipment on dedicated suppressor hosts.
