Great if you have a need for it... - Devil Dog Concepts Rear Hard Charger Gen 2

This is my second side charger from Devil Dog. I have one on my PCC I shoot IDPA/USPSA with. It allows you to quickly reload and charge the rifle, useful as my PCC doesn't have last round bolt hold open. I got the second for a 9mm AR pistol I built. I believe it's cheaper to build an upper with a standard upper and then add the side charging handle vs getting a dedicated side charging handle. My pistol has a Thordsen cheek rest so there's no room to change the gun and not lose your cheek weld, but the side charger solves that. I don't know if it's really necessary for a standard AR as you don't charge the rifle that often and so why bother...but if you have the need for a side charging AR, this is a solid and reliable solution to convert an existing rifle, and best thing is you can always take it off and put it on another gun if you need to.
