I scratch my head what they try to accomplish (besides saving one cent) by removing material from chagrin handle that WILL be used to clear malfunctions such as stuck case.

Okay, I don't normally do this, but I'm going to play the devil's advocate for a second...in this particular instance, what's it matter? Assuming that the thickness of the "T" section is the only difference, that is.
Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of valid reasons not to run DPMS's junk, I just wonder if we're getting wrapped around the axle a bit in this case.

I thought all you get when you buy a Colt is the logo?

Interesting. I'm going to check out my CH's this weekend.
ETA: Are they both made of the same material? Are they both steel or aluminum?

Yes, I've mortared; no I've not had the displeasure of having that fail to pull the bolt back. Do I think the DPMS version is more likely to fail? I guess that depends on if the failure mode involves snapping a leg off of the "T" section. I think bending it is more likely, and personally I'd rather turn the "T" into an "L" than into an upper-case "J". I think could improvise my carbine into still running easier with a 1-armed handle than a bent-in-two handle.
Like I said, no disagreement that the DPMS stuff is inferior. No reason not to get the Colt piece if it's available...but I don't think there's a need for everyone to be in their safes with dial calipers measuring the thickness of their charging handles, either.

No, I don't think it's something that people need to be measuring either.
It is, as usual, simply a symptom of a greater problem; a company that doesn't know what they're doing.
