SaspDad Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Have a newly built AR9 for SASP. We used a mil-spec charging handle. I want to get something bigger that's easier to grab/pull. Any suggestions? Link to comment
VeilAndrew Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 I like the Geiselle ACH the most on my ARs. It's got a very large latch. Link to comment
philmadxx Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 For the longest time, I just put a cheap charging handle in my guns - didn't think it mattered. Until I got my JP GMR-15 which came with a Radian Raptor - can't remember the model. Made a big difference in the overall feel of the gun, I've since changed out all of mine to the Radians.

Phil FYI Radian also offers substantial discounts to military/LEO. Link to comment
Dirty_J Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Breek Arms Warhammer is my go to. Is thinner than the Radian vertically, making it easier to hook your finger and ensure it ain’t slipping off. Heck of a deal too.. MSRP of $49.99 and made in the USA (Minnesota). Can be bought direct from their site with free shipping or you can catch them online n sale at Primary Arms or Brownells regularly. Link to comment
Alvin Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 BCM charging handle on all my ARs. I only need to use one hand, left, to charge or clear the gun. Link to comment
Matt1911 Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 BCM gunfighter or Radian Raptor best handles I’ve ever used. Link to comment
DwightSchrute Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 There are a lot of good ones out there, and they are generally priced accordingly. But I’m another person who typically goes with Radian Raptor first. Link to comment
SaspDad Posted March 30, 2023 Author Share Posted March 30, 2023 Thanks all for the suggestions. Ordered the Radian but they all look great. Link to comment
assaultthesalt Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Timbercreek Outdoors has the largest I've seen on the market.I have two of them.They work great ! Link to comment
bigdawgbeav Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 personally I like the Devil Dog Hard Charger. Makes my ar-style a side charger. https://devildogconcepts.com/product/hard-charger-black-anodized/ Link to comment
StefVanHauwe Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 For a while I upgraded to Radian Raptor charging handle. Was very pleased with it. A year ago I switched to an add-on/plug&play side charger from Devil Dog Concepts. Never changed again. Link to comment
71Commander Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 I ordered a latch from optic planets and changed it myself. 20bucks and good to go. https://www.opticsplanet.com/badger-ordnance-tactical-latch.html Link to comment
Ner Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 I had to cut my Devil Dog side charger in half and cold weld it again to fit my upper. Sounds clunky, but it works Link to comment

Because we all have billet uppers, all we had to do is shave down the part that rides against the receiver. Very easy to do with a file or grinder if your careful. They will go on a forged receiver with no mods. Link to comment
dwzuspsa Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Check Delta Team Tactical for their assortment of Charging Handles and price: from $14.99 and up Link to comment

Main problem is i have a V-AR from CZ it's a lever delayed system and it's upper a bit uncommon Edited May 10, 2023 by Ner Link to comment

drdre352 Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Radian Raptor is bigger & smoother than stock CH. Next Level Armament has an even bigger handle, but not as smooth as Raptor Link to comment
Runswithwood1 Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Radian raptor is my vote as well, the downside is the price but well worth it Link to comment
Sarge Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Radian also offers a significant discount to first responders, military etc. Link to comment
