The Best AR-15 Charging Handles

I don’t have experience with four of the five, but I can tell you that the Radian Weapons Raptor is a great product.
It’s also amazing when you outfit your rifle with (a) a good BCG, and (b) a good charging handle, how easily and smoothly it operates – like butter.
Some of the easiest improvements to the gun are not just just convenient because they’re modular, but they’re also fairly inexpensive.

I have to say that I really favor the Badger Ordnance square profile replacement latch (on a standard charging handle). I find the big, square profile is easier to use than the VLTOR, which I swapped back out.
As a right-handed shooter, I hadn’t thought of mounting a Badger latch on the right-side. I may well try that for prone shooting.

I have a Badger. The right (outside for righty) is prefered for a slung weapon as the latch can dig into you. I also don’t know why they are primarily on the left for right handed shooters as the middle finger is stronger than the pointer. But you can have the one you want for around 30 bucks.
