Questions & Answers
When choosing left or right, does it signify left or right handed operation? or the orientation/direction of the actual pull handle? Expert Answer

It is for dominant hand operation. So a right handed charging handle is meant to be manipulated by the left hand with the latch on the bolt catch side of the rifle.

First off, I commend Fortis for offering the Clutch charging handles at a reasonable price; sometimes, I think premium AR part manufacturers are a bit full of themselves and over price their products. At sub 40$, this Charging handle is a great valu...

Helpful Positive Review Worth the money by Nickname, November 17, 2020
I used to be the "cheapest charging handle possible" guy until I got one of these. It's worth the extra money. Some of my scope cover a basic charging handle so getting my fingers under the scope to pull the lever is tedious. The lever handle on t...

Product Info for Fortis Manufacturing Clutch 5.56 Charging Handle

The Fortis Clutch charging handle was designed with simplicity in mind and for those that use the palm method to charge their weapons. Sometimes we have found over sized charging handles get caught on our gear and rigs. We eliminated the opposite side of the charging handle, but kept the latch side robust. We're incorporating a new cam system in place of a roll pin and this increases both strength and durability. If you're looking to upgrade your charging handle, we have a perfect solution for you and it comes in the Clutch.image

We engineer, design, & develop military grade accessories that look good and functions great. Tested and evaluated by industry professionals, then put to the test by people in the military and law enforcement community. For those that want a more standard approach, don't forget about our Hammer charging handles.
