Most Helpful Positive Review Nvm gunfighter killer
If you don’t specifically need a gunfighter chargin handle, this is the upgrade for you. Easy to install, built to last and comes in 4 different colors (red, blue, black, grey). It also comes with a new reinforced roll pin and spring. I installed it on a stock charging handle and it feels and functi...

Most Helpful Negative Review Perfect to enhance milspec
I think I like these better than the charging. Handles SI sells that comes with these. This latch is easy to install and is all you need to make charging your AR a lot easier. Honestly, I feel this a necessary upgrade for every AR.

Do it! You will like it.

by Rick, Verified Owner from CO, United States Written on February 13, 2025
Added this to my PCC with a Si handle and it fit great. Makes single side charges easy, even with the added spring weight of a PCC. Includes a pin and spring. Would probably be good for a low scope setup as well.
Pros:
  • Big, but not too big.
Cons:
  • Can be a bit of a challenge to install
Would recommend: Yes

Great low cost upgrade

by A Customer, Verified Owner from WA, United States Written on August 17, 2024
If you are not shooting suppressed and want a simple yet effective extended latch charging handle, buy 2 of these for the cost of 1 upgraded changing handle and put those milspec ones you have to good use. For installation, use a thumb tack to hold the assembly together so the roll pin can be driven in.
Pros:
  • Affordable
  • Value for the $$
Cons:
  • Not all milspec charging handles are in spec
Best Used for:
  • Non suppressed AR builds
Would recommend: Yes

Good quality

by Mark, Verified Owner from NC, United States Written on March 5, 2024
I wanted an extended latch that makes it easy to work the charging handle under a scope and this does that perfectly. It's no so large that it gets in the way like others I've tried but extended enough to make it easier to manipulate the charging handle. Will be ordering more for other rifles

Splash of color.

by Chadbone, Verified Owner from IN, United States Written on January 6, 2024
I ordered a Strike Industries extended latch charging handle. I ordered this red latch with it to add a little color to the carbine and make the latch stand out. Very happy with the charging handle and extended latch. Not overbearing at all (which some are). Makes it very easy for left handed, single side charging. Seems sturdy for longevity and stable to pull one side. Did not interfere with the way my rear flip-up offset sight is mounted. Would order again when/if ever needed.
Pros:
  • Easy Access
  • Just right size
  • Does not over extend
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • New charging handle
  • Stock chagrined handle
Would recommend: Yes

So Much Easier to Reach

by Chadbone, from IN, United States Written on December 26, 2023
Very happy with this extended latch. Allows much easier access to the charging handle with my optics. Very sturdy to charge from one side. Does not stick out too much as so many charging latches do. Red adds just a little color to the carbine and makes the latch stand out. Exactly what I was looking for.

great latch!

by Mike G, Verified Owner from AZ, United States Written on December 6, 2023
I've purchased several different latches in the past but for me this one looks and functions the best. Simple to install on a standard charging handle and makes it easy for one-handed charging. Much cheaper than purchasing an aftermarket charging handle.

Easy Peasy

by Mule, from OR, United States Written on October 1, 2023
I installed a variable scope on my rifle and the necessary scope setback made it difficult to access the charging handle. This extended handle latch makes it easy to grip.
Best Used for:
  • scoped AR rifles
  • Scoped AR- 15
Would recommend: Yes

great extended charging handle latch

by ibby, from FL, United States Written on May 6, 2022
Easy to install on your standard charging handle. Punch the roll pin out (1/16" roll pin punch), take the old one out and put the extended latch in. Roll pin is provided. I just used the old spring. Has just the right amount tension. Just the right size, not too big not too small. Making charging with left hand easier.
I like it. Arrived in a timely manner.
