    My index finger disagrees with you...not really a bite but it did get pinched a few times during a class by my BCM Mod 4. I can't reliably reproduce the pinch, but it happened. Overall though I'm pleased with the product.

    How do you like the new PRI latch compared to the BCM?

    I don't have enough time with it to make any real decision. All of them are really good with a slight nod to BCM for their reconfiguration of the latch.

    I know some people have gotten pinched. Not enough to change the entire design though. Kind of like the Congress voting to have the Govt run healthcare when only about 20% of the populace wants it. According to Paul at BCM, he has received only a few e-mails complaining about pinching. So it is pretty much a none issue.

    I recommendation is to always shoot with gloves on (as there are many sharp and hot things on an AR).

    Both Vickers and Hackathorn run BCM's CH. No pinching issues reported (FYI).

    Being that my S&W is more of a "plinker" than a mass zombie killing,
    finely honed combat machine.
    I'm running the stock OEM S&W M&P15 charging handle.

    That being said i'm pure lefty so i'm (patiently?) waiting for The TROY IND. ambi charging handle to stop say "Coming Soon" and start shipping.
    Also holding out for well a bunch of Troy Ind NEW Ambi products.

    *I made this pic for another thread but it still works in this one.


    Then let those zombie ****ers come!! lol

    I mainly have Badger Tactical ( original ) on my magnified scoped ARs. Some have the PRI latch as well. I have gotten so use to grabbing the Badger ( using index finger, left hand tight against receiver ) that when I went to the Gunfighter Mod 3 it was pinching the crap out of my index finger every time

    Overall the Gunfighter is a better CH than std with a Badger latch so I kept it on one of my guns. Once I got use to grabbing it at the end of the handle ( not in the crook by the reciver ) no more pinching

    Its all what you get use to I guess

    Well, as stated, it appears that the mod 5 is simply smaller in length, similar to a std latch. But, the face of the latch is taller than a std latch, due to the extra meat extending the bottom of the latch face.

    But, for those "10" of us (sarcasm) that get pinched with mod 3 and 4's, this mod 5 appears to not be prone to pinching, since there is no gap at the top of the latch to close and pinch you, when operating the latch. To me, if not intentional by the design, the mod 5 does appear to aleviate the problem that "10" of us experienced.

    I wonder why Larry requested this mod 5, if pinching wasn't an issue? The change in length of the latch doesn't seem as dramatic, as the reduction in the latch face height, compared to the mod 4....
