Nice finish, poor fit. - TRYBE Defense Ambidextrous Charging Handle for Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22

I wanted to like this as the stock charging handle doesn't have a very large grab area when running an lpvo, but I couldn't even make myself shoot with it.

This issue is with how the bolt locks forward. With the stock charging handle, it will lock fully forward with even a slow let off. This charging handle I received will not. It seems to start sticking 1/4" to 1/8" from being in battery, and I do not want to risk a round going off without the bolt locked forward. Sadly, I'm out the money for it, but until I can get one in from a different brand, I'm going to have to use the stock charging handle in the interest of safety.

To clarify, it won't do this if you release it from the bolt being locked to the rear as momentum will cause it to lock forward fully, but if it has these issues already a small amount of dirt from shooting could cause issues on the range.
