    Sell me on BCM Gunfighter charging handles...

    So, I've seen several threads on this board, as well as others, where someone swears by the their Bravo Company charging handles as a "can't live without" addition to the AR platform.

    Explain this to me please. I'm not a naysayer, but I've got badger or similar tac latches on all of my AR's except for my SBR rocking a PRI gasbuster.

    I guess I'm just curious as to what makes the BCM the shit?

    It's not your usual CH with a tactical latch. Instead of the "latch slot" milled all the way through, its rear is solid and its latch is design in sucha way that it anchors against the solid rear. This eliminates the stress on the roll pin which has been known to break off on occasion.
    A side benefit is also that it feels much more solid than a sregular CH with a tactical latch.

    ETA: Look what a 5 second search can do...

    Nah that was pretty funny though huh.

    Once you use one you will know, I remember reading about them and thinking the same thing you are.

    Theyre tough, I havent broke one yet.

    I broke a charging handle before. I dont know if it was me or the CRAP I was using haha.

    I dont wanna talk about it

    I have a Mod 4 on my 16" carbine length (until I get a 14.5 mid) and while I admit I have not tried the ones you mention I love it. It's solid, easy to use with my "non-trigger" hand and very fast IMHO.

    I have tried the stock CH, the PRI big-latch, and the BCM Gunfighter. The Gunfighter is hands-down my favorite. It seems to do a much better job of distributing the forces throughout the CH. In other words, I find that racking the CH is smoothest w/ my Gunfighter.

    W/ respect to the name, who cares. It can be called BCM Shit-On-A-Stick and I'll still rock it if it works well.

    i just ordered the medium latch today! i had a badger tactical latch and after some casual use at the range, the rollpin was beginning to fatigue and the latch pushed into the handle body...what a POS!

    after reading the design specs and reason for improvements, it pretty much sold me
