I bought 2 of these to replace standard latches on standard charging handles in Aero Precision AR-15 upper receivers. Just by looking at these you can see how the latch "bottoms out" on the front of the handle as apposed to "bottoming out" on the roll pin, which I like. That's the only thing this has going for it.
Here are some problems I noticed with this inferior design...
-When fully depressed the latch is angled back well past perpendicular, encouraging your fingers to slip off the latch
-The texturing on the front of the latch is the only thing countering lost grip, which is unnecessarily rough on bare fingers
-The latch is made of steel and will wear down faster on the interfacing latch slot on your aluminum upper receiver
-Even when fully depressed the latch partially collides with the edge of the latch slot increases wear
This thing is worthless!
Pros:
None Whatsoever
Cons:
Not ergonomic
Increases wear on upper receiver
Doesn't ease operation of charging handle
Less useful than a standard latch
Geometrically Unsupportive
Best Used for:
Understanding bad designs
Would Recommend:
No
