BCM Gunfighter w/ Mod 4 (medium) latch...

Sorta like Goldie Locks and the 3 bears - the small is too small, the large is too large and the medium is just right IMHO.

Just picked up a Plinker Tactical for my son's Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22. Great improvement over the stock plastic piece, but the handle on that thing is HUGE!

PS I've placed a couple of orders recently directly with BCM and have been really pleased with the experience. YMMV, but I have no problem with recommending them based on those two orders.

+3 on the BCM GunFighter charging handle.

It's the only charging handle that anyone should buy. Price is steep but it's the best one available and well worth the cash.

+4 BMC/Vltor Gunfighter. Mod 4 with open sights or Mod 3 with a scope. They pop up on ebay for $44-$47 shipped on a regular basis. Make sure you get the Gen 2 if you want the latest greatest.
No matter what you read on the intarweb CCI450s and CCI41s ARE NOT BALLISTICALLY IDENTICAL with H110! I'm also not a intarweb lawyer so I don't argue with anyone who is.

You won't break the BCM so I wouldn't bother.

I've tried those in the past and they poke you in the chest pretty good. I don't use them anymore.

Looks like what came on the Plinker Tactical... don't like it myself, but YMMV.
