I'm sorry if this post is a little redundant but my Google searches couldn't turn up anything on this topic. I'm a lefty and I've tried out the Raptor once and really liked it for its accommodation of us goofy shooters. Then, I saw BCM came out with their own ambi CH... I like both companies a lot and have been satisfied with their customer service both ways... I guess I'm just asking if the Raptor is really worth the extra $20... in the long run its not much but I'm picturing the results  of this survey affecting most of my future builds. Any and all input would be appreciated! (I'm personally leaning toward the Raptor after I saw the post about the guy who trashed his BCM after dropping it off a table)

It's personal preference at this point, both are quality products. You''re opening the flood gates with that question because fanboys will tout the products they use as being superior. I use the Raptor because I liked the looks of it more than the gunfighter but, again, my own preference. You will not be disappointed with either one.

BCM was easier to break in for me vs the Raptor, but now my Raptor is great.






Raptor for Ambi







BCM for standard

i have a BCM and its typical quality from vltor, good. my only gripe is that without gloves you run the risk of a finger pinch if you have extra meat there. if you have slender fingers you'll be ok.

and i got mine for less than retail so it was worth it for me.

Use code raptorman at Primary Arms for $20 off.



There's more money here in charging handles than some people have in a rifle. I'm not sure that's a good thing.

I want to get the Raptor just because the other kinds stick out further and have smaller latches, I like how the whole handle is the latch on the raptor, but either one would work great, I shoot left (dominant eye) but am right handed

I am a true lefty and have both the BCM and the Raptor. For me, I prefer the Raptor as it is easier to operate when performing fast charging cycles.
