| Is there really a difference between all of them? Best/worst brands? And for the bcm ones, what's the difference in the size of the latch? Thanks |

My favorite is the Raptor, but they're expensive. I like the BCM Medium's pretty well and I've bought quite a few when they had blemishes for $25. Unfortunately those don't come up very often. Coupon code raptorman gives you $20 pof the raptor at Primary Arms. |

I run standard mil-spec charge handles on mine with over-sized latches and it's perfect for my usage. I'd rather spend a little less on a charge handle and spend that money saved elsewhere on the AR or for a box or two of ammo. Wait until you bend a standard charging handle with over-sized latch charging with one hand and put your rifle out of commission, if you at home fine, but if HD or at match that could be the end of you life, or your day. I prefer to run handles that were designed with that purpose in mind. |

I agree on the premiss of saving money for some items so it can go towards other more useful applications. But imo, having a better more efficient charging handle design is one of those items that are actually worth spending a bit more $ on. Up there with a better grip, then say that awesome "mil-spec" A2 grip  . But in the end of course, its all in what the user likes.
Fwiw OP, like many, I like the BMC med(Mod4). Have it on a couple of mine. The only bummer I see with them, is when sling'd and around on ones side, the handle will sometimes dig into ones body somewhat. |

thanks for all the responses guys, I think ill go with the bcm medium, and maybe when I have more cash try the raptor just to be clear, is the mod3 smaller than the mod4? and what is the advantage/disadvantage to choosing an ambi handle? Ambi handles can be charged one handed from either side of the rifle. |
