I had one on my first AR. I was told that it worked well with an aimpoint, but IME it sucked for anything else. I got an A1 handle for it and the tac handle sat in my closet until I sold the gun. I sold it with the tac handle, and kept my A1.

There is no good use for the raised picatiny rail on the RRA Tactical Carry Handle.
Put it on the EE and buy yourself a Troy or LaRue rear BUIS |

I like them for a few reasons;
They co-witness in the lower 3rd of the glass with my ProPoints and, with a short ring, my Aimpoints. Sights are always there; no need to raise. Sturdy; you break it, you broke the gun. Used on thee EE, less expensive than the BUIS setup It holds extra batteries for my red dots. I own 6 of them and love them.

They are not tactical, and they are not a carry handle. There is no real advantage to one. You would be better off with a good buis, and a good solid mount for the aimpoint.
They limit your options for optic placement. They add un-necessary weight. You could cut it down and use the sight as a buis, and then add a good aimpoint mount up front. Or, you could sell it on the EE, that's why there are so many of them there, and use the money towards your new setup. |

They look heavy, are they?

Probably really close to a regular carry handle in weight. I'd say the RRA is heavier than a carry handle but not by too much |
