Pros and cons with the clutch 5.56 left - - right charging handle 5star! - Fortis Manufacturing Clutch 5.56 Charging Handle

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 value! Like most Fortis products, it is certainly top notch quality. Now, if you are going to run the RIGHT handed only, you will be absolutely in love with the Clutch! There is zero slop in the lever, and it takes palm blades or thumb/finger pulls with ease. Unfortunately, I did not get the RIGHT handed version, I have the LEFT handed charging handle. It works fair to good i would say. Only because where the latch hook makes contact with the upper receiver, you will notice the relief machined into the right side of the upper(this is where the latch hook latches into place. Because the latch is on the left, the latch-hook will never latch into place. I mean it works well don't get me wrong! If somehow there was still the latch-hook on the right side with obviously a left lever (again this is why the RIGHT would get 5 STARS because the latch is on the RIGHT side of upper receiver!)
