UCH1701) is the easiest way to add a slide-charging handle to a double-stack Glock 9mm, .40 S&W, or .357 Sig pistol without modifying the gun. Installation takes under two minutes with the supplied hardware and tool, and the kit includes both the UCH Enhanced Upper Charging Handle and Recover’s GCH17 lower-profile charging handle, so you can choose the profile that fits your setup.
