Basic forged handle here. Never felt a need to change it, the original style does just fine.

Extended should be OEM. |

Really? You consider actuating a charging handle difficult on any scale?

I find charge handles on ebay of 7075 for under $20... work fine in my pistols. Only use an extended CH on one AR rifle with a large scope.

In competition, or I imagine battle... they greatly enhance the ability to clear a malfunction should one exist, and assist in unloading and showing clear at the end of a stage. Love my Raptors. |

I like BCM gunfighter CHs... Mod 3 and 4. Haven't had a chance to try a raptor, but I'm sure they are nice. You never hear anything bad about the raptors and they look like a joy to use. If you want to look at BCMs kinda/sorta answer to the ambi approach you should check out the BCM a44.
I like standard handles too. I don't discriminate. If you like it use it. Use it a lot. Most military weapons use standard CHs and it works just fine for them. I like to splurge on my own guns cause I can. :) |

Most of my charging handles are actually BCM mod4's, BUT the original type work more than just fine. It's a low priority, going forward.

No real preference, original, PSA extended, Raptor and BCM. Whatever was on sale at the time and struck my fancy. I do prefer a little larger more extension than stock on my glassed stuff.

Pricey little ge-gaw but works great for me. |

I have two BCM and one Raptor, I like the Raptor the best of the bunch. Although one of the BCM's were the blemished/seconds that they were selling a while back so for the money its really good.

I love the gunfighter handle. It really seems a lot more solid for one handed charging. Anyway, not anything that hasn't been said before. I believe the BCM is considerably cheaper, anyway.
