Most Helpful Positive Review Charge handle
This charge handle is awesome. I was going to change my AR 15 to side charge until I purchased this product. Makes it simple to charge my AR even with a large scope that sits back on the rail. I would recommend this product to others.Great bang for the buck. Plan on more shopping at Optic Planet.

Easy Charging

by sniper, Verified Owner from NM, United States Written on November 29, 2025
The NLX 556 AR15 handle is much easier to operate than a standard handle. It is about 20% larger and also is ambidextrous. It just works better.

THE BEST Charge handle on the market for the price.

works well

by E man, Verified Owner from MA, United States Written on January 7, 2024
Makes charging very comfortable, super easy on the fingers. Feels super solid, has larger then usual roll pins, handles are very thick on top if wide. I'd definitely go with my Vltor or BCM Gunfighter over this, but I also find this much more comfortable then my Breek Arms Warhammer Mod2, which is still a good handle.
Pros:
  • 7075 aluminum
  • price construction quality
  • large roll pins
  • thick handles, easy on fingers
Cons:
  • none really - does well for the price
Best Used for:
  • charging without gloves
Would recommend: Yes

outstanding design

by Ryan Ramirez, from OR, United States Written on November 10, 2021
If you’re looking at it over and over again trying to find a reason why you should pay that price for just a charging handle, wondering if you’re going to have buyers regret, well stop and just buy it already. Best charging handle ever from every perspective. Reliability, durability and of course looks awesome. When your index finger grips the handle it lays right into the convex grip; perfect comfortable fit! I like it over the feel of my Raptor.
Pros:
  • grip and feel
Cons:
  • None
Would recommend: Yes
