Overview

The Daniel Defense GRIP-N-RIP Charging Handle is designed for shooters who demand reliable function in all conditions, particularly suppressed shooting. Machined from 7075-T6 and 6061-T6 aluminum with Type III hard coat anodizing, this charging handle features enlarged ergonomic handles that provide excellent grip with or without gloves.

The key innovation is the independently operating ambidextrous latches - each side operates the latch mechanism separately, allowing left or right-handed shooters to charge the rifle with their preferred hand without affecting the opposite side. This is particularly useful for shooters who switch shoulders or share rifles between left and right-handed users.

Anti-gas features redirect gas flow upward and away from the shooter's face, making this an excellent choice for suppressed rifles where gas blowback can be uncomfortable. The GRIP-N-RIP comes standard on all Daniel Defense complete upper receiver groups and is available as a standalone upgrade for other AR-15 platforms.
