Can anyone give me any feedback on the Badger Tactical Latches? How is the quality, ease of installation? Are there any other brands I should consider? Thanks, Mark |

My personal opinion is they are awful...when used with a 3-point or single-point sling they tend to dig into my chest and belly...ouch...not to mention the earlier stated opportunity for them to get hung up on other gear... I think a better solution is the PRI "big latch" - still provides one hand operation but does not protrude any more than the regular latch... |

I have both the 1st and 2nd Gen badger latch. I like the 2nd Gen latch better. www.badgerordnance.com/htm/prod_c.php |

I stock the Badger Ordnance Gen 1 and Gen 2 latches. www.globaltactical.com Denny

Yep - during a carbine course - that sucker only lasted till the first break when I could swap out the charging handle from my backup rifle. The hanging up wasn't the worse part (not much to hang up on other than the 3pt sling). It was the digging into my chest that annoyed me the most. Personally for 'tactical latches' I much prefer the PRI unit. |
I agree with Forest. If you have a scope or other stuff on top that interferes with the charging handle, they may be okay. But if you're going to use your rifle, sling it, run with it, etc., then you will get jabbed by it, and it will hang up on stuff. The only one I've seen so far that doesn't hang up is the PRI big latch. |
I will gladly pay $5 each plus shipping as long as they are in good condition. |
