I use the round PRI Military latch on my rifles and have been quite satisfied with them.
I started with these a couple of years ago before the BCM offering was available.
Next time I'm in the market I'd like to give the BCM a try.

i was all about big latches for a while.. but then the predictable happened, and they just got caught on everything and stabbed the shit out of me at every opportunity.
i've been sporting the LMT handle/latches for the last 6 months or so... perfect in-between size. i know the BCM chargers are pretty popular right now, but i have no 'sperience with em.
I'm really looking into the badger latch due to its surface area. Unless the BCM's are no different.
Dude it reeeaaaalllly doesn't matter......but ok I'll change it.Quote:
Is there a possibility that we can phrase this a little more inteliigently? For someone that has over 500 posts and has been here a while I would think that something along the lines of "Looking for a better charging handle" or something similar would be more appropriate.
BCM GF & PRI Gasbusters are in all of my carbines.....
BCM #5 latch will be the next parts ordered for both of my carbines. Not so concerned about a big latch to get hold of as I am the improved/stronger design to make it more reliable. As said above getting hung up on things and stabbing me in the chest/abdomen with a single-point sling is something I want to avoid.
Another vote for the BCM Mod 4 Charging Handle. After buying one and running it for a while, I quickly replaced the CHs on my other ARs.
Took the words right out of my mouth BKB.Same experience.
I used the PRI military latch for awhile,Grant sent me one with a LMT upper order,and I liked it well enough.When the LMT tactical CH came out I went that direction and have no complaints.That said the BCM Mod 5 looks like its good to go for my needs.
I use the pinch method previously discussed here on the forum and Im a ham fisted monkey,so I dont need a huge latch digging into me and hanging up on my gear.

Isn't this typical with any weapon that has a left side charging handle for a right handed shooter?Quote:

I use Badger Latches in mine. Have not broke one yet.
the other thing the LMT latches have over the big latches is that it gives you plenty of purchase, but without torquing the charger sideways. the way the latch is angled and positioned, you just pinch and jerk straight back.. the big latches hang off the side, and makes it twice as hard to jerk the charger back, plus puts that much more wear on the arm and pin.
