Was wondering what are some of the best charging handles for the M4 with the use of suppressors that limit gas blowback?

It's a short list, but I'd be interested in hearing peoples take on this as well.
I've never ran any sort of charging handle for shooting suppressed. :confused:
The PRS gas buster is a nice charging handle... but I don't find it to be needed.
The new version of the BCM Gunfighter charging handle is supposed to be improved for suppressor use. No firsthand experience though, as I don't own a suppressor.
Mark and I run the PRI and new BCM. Both are really awesome CH's. my feeling is this, if you have a over gassed gun, your going to get choked on gas. They may help some, but they are not going to make a Bushmaster a BCM.
The heavy duty PRI, IS KICK ASS, and the new BCM is very sweet. I do like the PRI more, but it cost more.
OP, perhaps you should try searching. Anyone that asks or is even under the impression a charging handle is any sort of solution to an overgassed AR is lacking even the basic understanding of what is going on. IMO you have a little reading to do.
It might help a little, but there is no real discernable difference. I've been meaning to do the DIY that RH outlines here (thanks Paul!). It can't hurt...

I have the home made by drilling a hole and using the silicone around the top of the handle as well as using the PRI gas buster with and without the with the silicone at the top as well.
PRI gas buster with the silicone "Seems" to be the best for me. That said, this is where you really notice a difference between DI and piston for me. Talk about eye watering!!!
I use a BCM gunfighter + RTV silicone. USMC03 has a tutorial on this

the most recent GF's have a "shelf" or "ridge" built in to block excess gas
the PRI Gasbuster does indeed.....the actual handle itself is taller and more stout to redirect gas to the sides rather into your face.
both will work as designed....
Can the spring loaded latch on the PRI M84 Gas Bust be replaced with a standard charging handle latch?
Got to shoot 2 different suppressed AR's. Both were SBR. One was a 300 AAC blackout. The other was a regular 5.56.
They had the regular BCM gunfighter charging handles on them, and I couldn't tell any difference from my regular rifles...One a Colt regular DI and the other a LMT piston.
