Anyone have any experience with the ambidextrous Charging handle? I am looking for a really good quality ambidextrous charging handle.
Here is the link. |

I don't trust mine anymore and had a bad experience with it. The pin that held the pivot point broke loose on mine prevented me from charging it during a class. I did fix it and works flawless now but I'm worried it may happen again. But I'll be replacing the original pin with either a roll or spiral pin and believe that should prevent it from braking loose again.
notice how the pin sticks out (suppose to be flush) 
damage to lower reciever

I've had one for a little while and can't really recommend it. It's kind of a neat idea but really offers nothing over a standard GI charging handle for a righty. I can see the merits of the design for a lefty but that's about it.
I don't think it's worth the $85 price and wish I would have done with a BCM charging handle instead.
