Most Helpful Positive Review Well made and does a good job
I've seen several charging handles that do the same thing but cost a lot$$. The Strike charging handle does the same job as the higher priced ones, smooth track in receiver and blocks blow-by. Nothing worse than a blast of oily gases blasting in your face! The fit and finish are very good and the ...

Most Helpful Negative Review Lots of Drag
This charging handle dragged heavily in 2 different uppers, Aero m4e 14.5" carbine barrel and Troy 7.5" pistol barrel with carbine H2 buffer. Receiver and handle was oiled The mil-spec charging handle that came with the Troy pistol is much smoother.

Falls short when latching

by Dan, Verified Owner from FL, United States Written on April 29, 2025
The size and feel are great on this charging handle, HOWEVER when racking my AR, it doesn’t latch to the upper receiver on its own. I have to manually push it a bit forward in order for it to latch. That’s the only downside size to this charging handle. It’s a shame bc I actually like the feel and size of it.
Pros:
  • Size
Cons:
  • Malfunction
Would recommend: No

Reliable!!

Bought for a friend for his birthday present and it has worked exactly as described and as it should so I'd say it's done admirably considering my friend.

Works much better than factory handles. They are a lot stiffer and do not flex as much.

Slight Upgrade For Milspec

by Rx, from IN, United States Written on February 15, 2024
It's a charging handle. It does feel better than your typical Milspec, but functions the exact same. It does feel lighter, and I'm not sure yet if that's a good or bad thing.
Pros:
  • cost
Cons:
  • weight
Best Used for:
  • AR Platform
Would recommend: Yes

NOT GAS BUSTING

by zach c, Verified Owner from MS, United States Written on August 13, 2023
Tons of gas blowback on my rifle. There’s no gas busting design. Cheap charging handle. I’d spend an extra $20 on the PSA gas busting handles. These don’t work at all in terms of gas busting. It’s a charging handle, but not much different than a mil spec handle. Twice the cost though.

lightweight

by smitty, Verified Owner from IN, United States Written on March 13, 2023
good charging handle, i ordered the blue, to match a set of pins and color you couldnt tell a difference
im sure thats not easy probaly run on different lines.
latches nicely, i wish they made this handle with a longer latch is the only thing i want to see since i have trouble with my hands, i will likely change the latch out

The color is unique

by Kenny, Verified Owner from AZ, United States Written on February 8, 2023
It's an excellent charging handle, functionally. The flat dark earth color is a bit off. It's kind of a shiny metallic color. It works good, and doesn't look bad, so I guess I don't have a problem living with it.
