[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Charging Handles (Page 1 of 2)

What's the big difference with all these? I usually install a tac latch on the stock one and call it a day. Why are some CH's so expensive other than brand name?
I do like the one you rack like a pistol slide but that's too high speed low drag for me. |

BCM or Milspec or Strike Industries are g2g. I'm just not going to spend $95 on a charging handle. Nice as the raptors or Geissele's may be. I bought a mod4 last week for $44, not too bad I guess. For a while I was gobbling up the Strike CH-EL when they were $25-$29, but they raised their price to bcm level. I still like that it's melonited or some other slick coating and is also 7075, but it doesn't matter that much. I just want to 7075, mainly. I only have to use the CH a couple times per shooting session. Milspec is of course the most comfortable for slung rifles. I spend a lot of time with a slung rifle, and the bigger latches will get noticable after a bit. One of the least important parts though, imo. Like takedown pins or trigger guards, i just want it to work reliably.
I don't want to spend as much as an entire assembled upper receiver costs on a CH, on principle. I'll probably go milspec for my next build down the line, starting to have too many extended latches on guns that don't really need em. |

The tac latch can rip through the charging handle . The Bravo latch hit's a wall on the back of the latch so that can't happen. With that said I find the Ambi too big and bulky. I like the medium Bravo Company charging handle and have them on most of my guns. Noted. |

Also much easier to manipulate an ambi handle if you are slung up prone and are using your right hand to work the charging handle Quoted:

a bigger latch is easier for a lefty like me Also much easier to manipulate an ambi handle if you are slung up prone and are using your right hand to work the charging handle and to hit you in the dick when using a sling |

Quoted: I like the CORE-15 V2 charging handles at $25-30. The latch is not obnoxiously huge but still bigger than milspec. Like the BCM, it depresses against a wall so as not to bind or break the charging handle when not using the 2-finger charging method. I was in their shop and seen the charging handles on the wall and bought one as an impulse buy.It's actually a good charging handle,I like it and it's been on my rifle for at least 5 years. |

Link Hm. I have a couple of those and a couple bcm mod 4. I might like the strike better. Pretty much the same but strike is slicker. Either is fine. |
