Anyone out there have one of those charging handles with the elongated grip so you cant just slap it back with the palm of your hand?

If so, thoughts?

I have one, and it's OK.  I say OK because it really isn't that big a deal.  It does allow you to rack the action faster, but they do break roll pins a lot more often.

Badger Ordnance has one that works well (only one I have) but the roll pin will work loose eventually. Pat_Rogers wrote up a post about it on Tactical Forums not too long ago. That PRI latch looks real interesting too.

I replaced mine with the Badger Ordinance model and I really like it.  Using the palm of the left hand to work the action is a big plus.  In addition, forcing the extraction of lower-quality ammo (God forbid) is greatly aided.

Never had to force extraction, but if it becomes necessary, the tac latch will give you something to stand on and open up the action.
