Does make a difference - Bravo Company MFG BCM MK2 5.56/.223 Charging Handle

I replaced the factory, mil-spec handle on a Smith & Wesson MP15 sport III. This BCM handle has improved my enjoyment of the rifle overall. I had frequent problems short-charging with the mil-spec handle. The larger handle on the BCM is far easier to grab and give a strong, full pull, eliminating my user-error malfunctions. The latches on the BCM also snap and hold much more securely. I had zero previous experience on how little or much exchanging a charging handle may alter how an AR feels or functions and I am not sure how much money it is necessary to spend to get a better feel vs what extra I may be paying for the reputation of the name stamped on the product; that is a question I still can't factually answer, but after swapping to the BCM handle, I will state that the change was a significant improvement in my use case. For the outcome I experienced, expressed as how much more I enjoy my rifle, I think the ratio of dollar to performance was pretty darn good and I'm glad I tried it. Oh and as a side bonus, I do think the aesthetics of the BCM handle are a big upgrade over the stock handle.
