With no experiences with AR RCH's I thought the same at first, but later changed my mind- if the charging handle is on the same side as the ejection port (as it would be for a left handed shooter) wouldn't you run similar risks with ejecting brass and dust cover not opening? One advantage I think you should add to your list is a faster reload. I wished I had got one of the LAR Grizzly OPS-4 left handed side chargers when they were making them. I kind of like the idea of a side charger and have wanted to make a 14.5 l/w mid-length w/ a RCH just to experiment. I am seriously interested in the well-documented problems with side chargers or RCH's, please point me in the right direction, I have not even been able to find any un-documented problems with them on the internet.
