The Strike Industries Latchless AR-15 Charging Handle replaces the part that wears out first on a Mil-Spec charging handle — the latch — with a simple, ambidextrous design that uses a flat spring locking to the inside of the upper receiver instead of moving parts. This version is finished in black.
Features:
- Forged from 7075 aluminum
- Anodized black
- Flat spring internal locking mechanism
- No moving parts to break
- Snag-free, ambidextrous design
- Modular ISO-Tab system for a customizable look and feel
- Gas vents help reduce blowback
The internal diameters of the charging handle slot are radiused rather than using the traditional 90-degree surface, reducing friction and wear, and the flat spring design spreads bearing force over a larger surface area than a standard latch. The modular design accepts Strike Industries' ISO-Tabs for a larger, more aggressively textured grip.
Note: For Mil-Spec AR-15 use only. Not rated for suppressed, full-auto, SBR, or pistol-length-barrel configurations.
Strike Industries designs AR-15 and Glock parts and accessories in a wide range of colors and finishes, aiming to let shooters customize both function and look.

Don’t waste your money
by David -
Rattles like crazy, could not be more dissatisfied. Spend a little more and buy quality… Will attempt to swap it out for something better.
DONT BUY
Good Quality But….
by Vincent -
Quality is good love the design aswell my only gripe is that since its latchless it fits loose and rattles around when your carrying your firearm. Not a big deal but enough for me to purchase something else instead
One less thing to fail
by Mike
I’ve been running this handle for a while with the extended ISO tabs. It’s worked flawlessly and I plan to add this to my next build. I prefer these over latched handles given I do not have to worry about the latch failing. If it matters to you it also prevents scratching of the lower where a latch would normally seat.
Truly Ambidextrous, Love It
by AnalogLudite
Nice snug fit with no rattle, so you'll definitely want to lube the channel. Holds firmly, but a good tug on either side gets it free. Put some grease on the springs on the sides, and it will have no problem seating fully when you let it fly. If you want it for suppressed or full auto use, you'll need to put the ISO-LATCH on it for high gas situations. It's not that it would break, but there may be excessive blow by, or it may hit you in the nose.
First time using Strike Industries
by Andy Norris
So I wanted an affordable ambidextrous charging handle for my AR pistol. Decided to grab this one after reading some reviews on it. So far I’ve used it a few times and haven’t had any issues. Does rattle a tad bit, but nothing I can’t live without. Time will tell if this is a good product. Gotta put it through some courses now to see how it does
ERGONOMIC & LIGHTWEIGHT
by Sean CH
I was surpised by this simple design. It is much lighter and more compact no-snag handle portion, yet allows the fingers to get plenty of grip surface. It allows a cleaner,streamlined area proximal to the latch area (and never gets that area scraped up in operation. I run several of these, albeit on 223/5.56mm 16"+ barrels. The low price and light weight first got me thinking "you get what you pay for", but I was pleasantly surprised how well these work in-reality. Only negatives are that the internal latching area dhould be clean, and unlatching occurs nearly siamultaneously as the bolt-unlocking, which adds to rearward force needed to extract a stuck spent casing. However, the extra force then drops off, making the additional tearward distance feel less and making extraction more positive. Also, this design has some of the CH milled for the internal latch, which could failure when pounded-on with a foot. etc., so I suggest mortaring buttstock instead.
Strike Industries makes great stuff at an affordable price.

SI Latchless charging handle
by Mike Warren
The SI Latchless charging handle looks and feels like a quality charging handle but the one thing I noticed with my New Frontier Armory Slick Side upper is the charging handle has some play that makes metal to metal noise when handling the rifle. Never encountered this with any of my other charging handles before. Other than the play in the charging handle, it functions fine.
Awesome ambi charging handle!
by Andrew
This is my favorite charging handle out there! I love the latchless design and can say after using it for a few months now that it still functions the same as it did on day one. I haven't purchased the extra tabs to make it a little larger, but am looking forward to doing so. If you're looking for an ambi charging handle without wanting to spend more than you want to, this is for sure the way to go.
