The Strike Industries Extended Charging Handle Latch (brand part no. SI-AR-LATCH-BK) is a bolt-on upgrade that swaps onto a standard Mil-Spec AR charging handle to add a larger, more aggressive grasping surface. Machined from aluminum and finished in black, it’s built for shooters who need a faster, more positive charge under stress, whether that’s a training environment, competition stage, or duty use. The enlarged latch design makes it easier to run the charging handle with gloves on or under recoil, without adding meaningful weight to the rifle. It bolts onto any standard Mil-Spec charging handle, including Strike Industries’ own ARCH.
