+1 Rob,
... and a couple of "fun facts".
The pin in the BCMGUNFIGHTER Charging Handle is the
real milspec roll pin (same as used in the standard BCM Charging Handle, as well). Its shear strength is rated at almost double that most commercial (mostly chicom) roll pins sold in the US. There is a small volume of certifications from material composition, plating, dimentions, shear sample testing that comes with every batch. And they cost more than twice the price of regular roll pins. (there are a lot of these types of 'fun facts'/details on various BCM products, but we just haven't discussed it much) So the pin is actually significantly better than a HUGE percentage of the charging handles in the commercial market.
But with the BCMGUNFIGHTER Charging Handle redesign, the stress on it is really no more than Eugene Stoner expected to be on it. Thats the genius the of Vltor design. I have never seen a pin break on a standard latch. And if it did, I would be 100% sure, it wasn't a stress issue - it was a substandard crappy pin.
