I have a regular Bushmaster charging handle. I noticed on some vendors' sites that they sell forged handles, and I even saw one reference to steel ones.  Are there any real benefits to these materials in the handle? I do think that the stock handle I have now is a bit flimsy feeling, but I suppose it needs to be because of the clearance required inside the upper.  I'll get the PRI latch as well.

The aluminum handle can bend during rough manipulations. Is it enough of an issue to warrant getting the PRI handle? I don't know, I haven't bent one.
