The Strike Industries Extended Latch Charging Handle (brand part number SI-ARCH-EL-BK) upgrades the factory AR-15 charging handle with a larger aluminum latch surface built to work smoothly even in adverse conditions. Strike Industries machines the handle from T-6 7075 aluminum and finishes it in black hard anodize, then polishes the surface for a smooth, clean charge and an ergonomic overall feel. It’s a straightforward upgrade for shooters who find a factory latch too small to reliably grab under stress or with gloved hands.
