What Tactical Latch for Charging Handle does evertyone recommend? I like how the Badger Ordnance generation 1 & 2 look. Is one better than the other?

I really like the latch from the Gas Buster. I use the GB on suppressed guns and the identical latch on a standard charging handle on the rest of my guns.
Brownells calls the latch the "Military Latch".
I like the same one Rob is talking about: PRI's "Military Big Latch." I don't have a Gas Buster, but I have a standard charging handle fitted with the Big Latch on my 10.5" LMT. I will eventually have them on all my ARs.

Another vote for the PRI latch...it's big enough to hit without being HUGE.
IMO, the Gen. I latches aren't that great and have a tendency to get caught on gear at the worst times. Gen. 2's are good and so is the PRI latch.
Another vote for the PRI "military" big latch.

Is there a latch that bolts on rather easily to POF's charger?I don't want to give up my electroless nickle charger!

Thanks, all. Think I'll go with the PRI big latch.
Just curious... is the "Gas Buster" useful? I don't recall ever experiencing "gas blowback". It has been over thirty years since I fired an M-16 (and now shoot AR-15s) and I was wondering under what circumstances you get gas blowback? (Of course, if this was a valid concern the cost would be justified.)
