Choosing the correct charging handle can completely change how fast and easy it is to operate your AR. The right charging handle on your AR platform can be an extremely integral part to running your firearm quickly and efficiently with a scope or red dot magnifier. With optics on your AR, it can be hard to get a good grip on the charging handle, depending on how far back your scope is set on your rifle. It can also be difficult to grab the charging handle if you are wearing gloves because you are in a cold environment.
