Is it an upgrade? - Phase 5 Weapon Systems Inc Ambidextrous Charging Handle Latch

I ordered this because I just couldn't see spending so much on an ambidextrous charging handle and this looked like a good alternative. However, the roll pin it came with crumpled on the first tap of the hammer and after using the previous latch pin, the new latch is not very smooth and sticks if not released quickly. The concept is good and it is possible the old roll pin is a problem, but I was hoping for more. I'll put it aside as a backup and get something better
