Is this a gimmick or will I notice a difference? How does it work? Anyone have one and a before/after testimony? Worth the $90?
Every time I go shooting I get gas in my eye, not enough to hurt, just enough to have me blinking a bit and a bit of redness after a good session. yes I am a dumbass for not wearing glasses. I keep thinking though, would this product eliminate that? Also, would it save me/eyes from a KB? How does it divert gas, I can see no difference in it and other handles in pix.
If you are shooting a full auto gun, especially one equipped with a suppressor, the PRI charging handle will keep the gas and debris away from your face.
If you are shooting a semi auto rifle this charging handle will alow an extra measure of safety by keeping that same material away from your face and eyes in the event of a burst primer.
A trail of RTV silicone will do the same thing for less money but the PRI provides a much cleaner look to the rifle.
I have one on a 24" hunting AR. It looks great, works great, is one of the best if not the best quality made charger handles I have ever used on a build.
I cannot justify spending the money to equip all my rifles with one of these but for the particular rifle I use one on, I am glad I have it.
