The Strike Industries SMC Charlie Extended Charging Handle is an ambidextrous charging handle designed for SIG Sauer P320 slides and built to work with the Strike Modular Chassis Systems (Strike Industries part no. SMCCP320EXTCH). It is longer than Strike’s smaller Ambi Charging Handle for P320 slides, and that extra length is what lets it clear the full-length top rail on the SMC Charlie chassis. Racking the slide from either side of the pistol stays practical with a chassis, rail and optic stacked on top. A P320 owner running the Charlie build gets the handle that the chassis is configured around.

Key Specifications

• The handle is designed for SIG Sauer P320 slides, so it mounts to the pistol you are already running the chassis on.
• It is ambidextrous, which lets a left-handed or right-handed shooter rack the slide from either side.
• The length is extended, longer than Strike’s smaller Ambi Charging Handle for P320 slides.
• The longer size is necessary to clear the top rail of the SMC Charlie, according to the maker.
• It is compatible with the Strike Modular Chassis Systems, the SMC line that carries a P320 fire control unit.
