The Bravo Company BCMGUNFIGHTERâ„¢ Ambidextrous Charging Handle 5.56/223 MODA44 Medium Latch and left and right extended latches feature internal redesigns to direct the force off of the roll pin and into the body of the charging handle during support hand only manipulations.  This is the AMBIDEXTROUS version of the BCM GUNFIGHTER CHARGING HANDLE. This new design has a built in backstop engineered into the extended latch and into the charging handle.  As the latches is opened up, its’ travel is limited by these flat surface backstops.  With this travel limiting feature, the stress is taken off the roll pin, and is now redirected into the entire body of the charging handle.

Ambidextrous version features 2 medium latches on the left and right side of the charging handle that 1/4" longer than the size of the standard issue charging handle latch but features the same BCM Gunfighter design as the Small, Medium and Large single sided latches for enhanced strength and reliability. Any side will operate the charging handle. This is a nice upgrade to make your AR15 platform work with either left or right hand shooters.

The BCMGUNFIGHTERâ„¢ Charging Handle offers two significant advantages.

1. Since the tiny roll pin is no longer the weak point - it is a much stronger system and tactical latch will stay intact even under repeated support side only manipulation.
2. With the force kept inside the body of the handle, when the handle is pulled directly to the rear, it moves directly to the rear and does not angle off to the outboard side.  A much smoother operation.
