Which Ambi Charging Handle?

[Diamondback]

To be honest, and maybe I'm a bit of a freakshow here, but a basic milspec CH with the Badger 249-02 latch works with either hand for me, hooking either index or ring fingerpad through the hole in the middle. I also have a Raptor that I'm impressed with and is about to replace the Badger in my "special snowflake build," and then the Badger goes into the pile of parts being gathered for my M4gery.

I have several Raptors and have been very happy with them. The flat end on the levers keeps them from being uncomfortable when the rifle is slung.

I have a Raptor and a Geissele SCH. Were I to buy another Id probably buy the Raptor again, mostly because it doesnt poke me in the chest or back.

I bought the Geissele at an LGS to replace a BCM gunfighter(single side, medium) Because it seemed to be trying to bore a hole through me. Also If my hands were a bit beat up from work, which is frequent, the BCMs aggressive serrations would aggravate them further. The Geissele SCH is a finely made piece, their serrations are perfect IMO, barely noticeable until real pressure is applied. The only reason its number 2 is that it is ever so slightly pokey, but not at an annoying level. I certainly dont regret buying it, like I said Its very well made.

The ACH seems a bit small but Ive only fooled around with them. Id be tempted to try one if the price was right and if I actually needed a third ambi charging handle

ACH is my favorite

I have both the BCM 4X4 and the Geissele ACH. I prefer the ACH, but both work well.

I am having trouble deciding between the BCM Gunfighter and the Giessele Airborne.

I have no experience with BCM's. I have a couple Raptors, and they blow generic charging handles out of the water. Most recently, I got a Geissele ACH, and I like it even BETTER than the Raptors.

As much as I hate to admit it, sometimes I'm a knucklehead who buys extra parts and doesn't use them. I have an extra Airborne Charging Handle in the original packaging... and even the original envelope that Geissele sent it in. I don't expect to use it and wouldn't mind recovering some of my outlay. If you decide to go with an ACH, PM me.

The ACH is perfect. Geiselle stuff goes on sale like clock work. Never pay full retail for thier stuf. The ACH gets sold for between 20-40% off regularly.

The Raptor is second best. I used it prior to the ACH

I bought a BCM to check out. I guess it’s fine. I’d never buy another and put it on a beater gun, but only because there are better choices, not because it’s terrible.

I didn't care for either the old or new BCM versions or the Geissele Super CH (might be different on an optic equipped rifle) but really like their Airborne CH, my favorite is the Raptor, I just got one of their SL versions and looking forward to trying it out.

I really like the Raptor but also have a couple of BCM of different sizes and they are nice too. Never tried a Geissele but I would like to at some point.

Thank you gentlemen. Looks like Ill be ordering an ACH. Hopefully there will be a sale on Memorial day.
