Whats a good charging handle for my AR??

[asianak]

I want to upgrade my charging handle for my AR15 because the factory one is too small and with my optic setup its hard to get to. I noticed they have like medium and large. What are some of you fellas using? I have big hands so would I need a large?

thanks

A Charging Handle for the 21st Century Gun Fighter


A NEW Charging Handle and Extended Latch System


Charging Handle Machined from 7075 T6 Billet


Hard Coat Anodized per Mil-A-8625F, Type III, Class 2


GFH - Mod3 (large latch) and Mod4 (medium latch)

I picked up one today, it will be installed in my DDM4 for an up comming carbine class

also if it $44.95 cost is steering you away think about this
standard charging handle ~$20
badger tac latch gen I & II again ~$20
now u must install, and you still have to deal with the shortcommings the BCM Gunfighter address

The BCM is bomber. Built for trigger pullers. If you break it, something is very wrong.

^^I agree w/ all these posts above me.

I have the BCM Gunfighter Mod 4 (medium) and love it.

I'd go with the Mod 4 as well. I plan on picking one up for my AR soon.

BCM gunfighter. Stay away from latches, wrong leverage in the wrong place leads to broken parts.
