Raptor is probably the best, won’t catch on your gear and is ambidextrous, if that’s a must have
where are those links?
I prefer the Radian Raptor, have it on all my AR platform rifles.FALs and G3s. I'm old, 6, and Worked with firearms for years , since 1978. The more time you spend working with firearms, the more you get used to and demand certain options in regards to set up and accessories. For 12 years my response team was allowed to modify their carry weapons as they saw fit providing they still met annual testing specs. We did a lot of in-house stuff. Great video.

Congrats on having one of the OG raptor charging handle!
Ambidextrous, not ambidextrious.
Ummm. The one that comes with the gun is great , yes? It is fun to decorate and an extended with a scope works better , might as well get a matching trigger guard . Strike industries has some decent shit .
As a lefty, im forced to do intense research to really maximize my ergo. On an AR15, the ambi charging handle is super nice, but not needed.;;mainly because there is a bolt release, unless you plan on charging and releasing from the back like i usually do, you dont have to spend money on it. I would however since Radian makes great CHs for around 60$ and on OP go on sale for 49 at some points. Looks and feels great..Radian LT ambi best bang for buck for lefties
That's what I want to see..a review wit dirty hands that I will trust.
This is just personal thought…I prefer all because I really don't mind the design,Especially the original…The original charging handle can be cool too. So I don't have a options…But if you really want to know I guess the Original AR-15 is just find
Nothing beats the LWRC ambidextrous charging handke👍

I love my striking eagle charging handle from pof.
Is it just me or does this guy keep saying "charting" handle and he sounds like Andy Dick. Couldn't take him seriously or make it past 1 minute.
My gray badgers charging handle had the pins come out at about 300 rounds and the phone number on their website is disconnected
They make all kinds of add on's for Yuppies.
My two tone raptor will be in tomorrow along with my fde dust cover and B.A.D lever. Outside of a laser my AR will be done.
I prefer the standard ch for one reason. I don’t like the extension poking my side when I have it slung in front. I had one on one of my rifles and I replaced it back with the standard one.
Has anyone replaced the roll pin with a solid steel pin to fix the issue?
use a nail buffer after clipping your nails.
I'm set on all my components for my build, including the BCM charging handle. The only parts I'm still trying to decide on are buffer springs and weights… any suggestions?
"Trade you for an ARVN rifle, never been fired only dropped once."
'Griffin' has a bloody good one !
Running a BCM mod 4 for a while. Zero issues and it doesn’t snag. The only other option is Radian in my opinion.
I think you missed the point, with iron sights mil spec is fine, some optics make it a little hard to find, so they extended, allowing you to grab from the side.
Simple get an akm lol jk ehhh i get the whole being more efficient but the oem charging handke has been battle hardened for decades
