I'm looking at purchasing one, but LGS doesn't have them in stock to get a hands on impression of one. What size do you guys prefer?

I would go with Mod 4. I have run both the Mod 4 and 5.

I prefer the Mod4 for general use and the Mod3 for use under a mounted scope. I haven't tried the Mod5 because the Mod4 works just fine for me.

Ordering from BravoCo. or G&R gets you the newest revision.

X2.. I have the Mod 3 on my rifle length HBAR and it works well.. I have the Mod 4 on my carbines as they all started out with iron sights. They all have scopes now and the Mod 4 still works well.. I order direct from Bravo Co.. Ron

What "newest revision"?:confused: I wasn't aware there'd been any revisions at all.

Mod 4, it's the one I chose, it's a hair bigger than the standard tactical latch.

Mod. 4 is my preference.

Hey, I'm starting to see a trend here... ;)

Another vote for the Mod 4. It seems to be "just right" for regular use. Go larger if you have a dedicated scoped AR.

I much prefer Mod 5 for general use, but am considering a Mod 4 for a scoped 20" I have that would normally never be slung.

Mod4 works well even under an MBUS2 rear sight, fwiw.

I am going to order one very soon, how do we avoid getting the newest rendition? I know aesthetics are not very important, but I don't plan on running a suppressor & I dislike the new look.

I'd rather the original.

You order the newest revision, then trade me for my brand new, only mounted and dry cycled mod 4. ;-)

Problem is, I want a Mod 5.

mod 4 definitely!if you add a large scope then only use a mod 3 because it will tend to jab into your chest,etc. since it`s so large.

Mod 4 works perfectly for me with a scope

Mod 3 here, I have no issues with the larger handle. But before the BCM handles came into existence I ran badger latch on the standard CH sooo that may have something to do with it. Couldn't miss that thing if you tried.

Like the size of the mod 4 the best, just about right.

I am use to the PRI Gas-Buster and want a BCM Gunfighter similar in size. Which Mod 3 or Mod 4?

I have a Mod5 I'd trade ya, but its used (about 2k rounds with it)

FWIW, the mod 5 protrudes just about the same as the mod4, but the mod4 latch is wider and angled more.
Basically there pretty close in size.

Mod 3 is the way to go.

Mod4 is about the same size as my PRI GB. I'm getting a Mod3 next to replace the Badger under a scope. Mod4 on 2 of my Aimpoint 16" ARs.
