For the price point this Anderson charging handle is hard to beat. Its not a Radian Raptor but it works, the latch engagement is fine and the aluminum body doesnt flex when Im pulling hard. Good for budget builds or as a spare.
Anderson 6061 charging handle works as a budget CH. Pull is smooth but the latch face is slick, fingers tend to slip off when wearing gloves. Aggressive texture or replacement latch would help.
