Raptor SL Charging handle ?

[RedTeam98]

I like the LT over the SL (price), then G, then BCM. After getting "muscle memory" with an ambitious CH, I look ridiculous using a normal one.

On G I seen problems with walking pins working their way out !

I use both the Geissele Airborne and the standard Radian Raptor handles. The perfect CH to me would be if Radian would have a higher gas busting lip in the back like on the Geissele handle and then reduce their overly stiff latch spring to one like on the Geissele handle. I like the shape of the handles just a little more on the Raptor. IMHO, you cannot go wrong with either one.

Thanks for real world user advice
I decided to go with the Raptor SL but the G was 2nd on my list of Charging Handles.

I like both the Raptor and Geissele, But the width is a personal preference thing. I like a medium size Raptor latch better than the slim latch on my Geissele Super Duty.

I like the BCM medium latch and Radian LT. The finish wears off the Geissele rather quickly.

I have a couple SD and Raptor Ambi charging handles, I like them.

I never bought the LT because the polymer coated blah, blah turned me off, for a few bucks more ($10 msrp) I get the Raptor Ambi.

Edited to correct the models I incorrectly posted.

I have a couple ST and regular Radian charging handles, I like them.

SLs are full aluminum. LTs are the ones with the polymer overmold. Not sure what the STs are.

Raptor Radian LT is my standard CH.

I just looked at the Radian web site and see I completely messed up that post. I edited my last post to show the correct models.

The Ambi and SD are what I have, the LT is the one I didn't by because of the multiple materials used.

Thanks for catching that.

I have two Radian Raptors and I am very pleased. On my next rifle, I may try a Tybee CH. the design is similar to the Raptor, they are made of 6061-T6 aluminum and they are much cheaper.
