What is your favorite charging handle and why?

Some examples:

BCM -

LMT -

Gas Buster -

Mega -

Switched all of mine out to BCM Gunfighter 3 or 4s.

2 of my rifles are running Gunfighters (mod 3 & mod 4), and another one running a LMT Charging handle. I like the Mod 4 and LMT. I was issued the PRI in the Marines, didn’t like it much because it would get hung up on my gear (magazine pouches on my vest) and cause the bolt not to seat completely.

I’m planning on making the switch to the BCM Gunfighter, but I haven’t checked them out yet.

5

Used to be PRI, but now is BCM.

I like the BCM mod 4, i have an LMT on my MK18 clone that is decent, and a PRI on my LT stealth.

the PRI is nice, but not twice the price of the BCM nice

7

BCM because it works…very well.

8

BCMs in both of mine.

BCM with modified PRI combat latches pictured above.

BCM Mod 4 for me. its simple and works…:smiley:

11

I really want to try out a Gunfighter, but any extra money I get goes towards ammo :frowning:

…not that it’s a bad things… :smiley:

12

BCM because I can abuse the hell out of it. Doesn’t bend like the regular charging handle.

13

I like these in this order:

BCM Gunfighters
LMT with the new latch
PRI Gasbusters, I actually dislike the PRI big latch, I like putting a Badger Gen2 latch on a Gasbuster

14

I’m running stock CH right now, but a co-worker recently got a BCM lower from Grant with the BCM Mod4 so I got to check one out. Next order I place from BCM, I’ll be changing mine over to the Mod4.

…

15

I’ve switched from the PRI’s to the Gunfighters on all 3 of mine.

16

It seems like more people like the BCM Mod 4 (medium) rather than the Mod 3 (large). Do people feel the Mod 3 is too big maybe?

17

Its positively huge…

The medium latches are still on the big side.

18

BCM for the same reason. All the force that goes into yanking the charging handle back dosen’t concentrate onto that little roll pin.

19

Those of you switching from the PRI to BCM noticing any more blowback in your face?

I usually only use BCMs but with my first foray into a 10.5" suppressed carbine I was thinking the PRI might help some keeping crap out of my face.

I would have thought that was a good thing to enhance your grip on it. What’s the drawback of it being “too” big?
