Badger Ordnance Condition One C1 Ambidextrous Charging Handle, 5.56
The C1 charging handle (C1CH) is a sleek and robust ambidextrous charging handle made for the AR15/M4 family of weapons.
The Condition One Charging Handle (C1CH) is the 4th generation from the inventors of the ambidextrous charging handle. The C1CH is machined from 7075 forgings, rather than billet or extrusions, resulting in a significantly stronger charging handle. Large stainless-steel pins hold the ergonomically designed latches, featuring vertical serrations in the front and back, offering a nonslip grip, and are rounded at the ends to reduce snagging.
The C1CH width is a narrow 2.42″ wide, offering enough purchase to easily make ready while not being overly bulky. The rear of the C1CH has heightened fencing to aid in diverting felt gas blowback from the shooter’s face.
Finished in a Type III hardcoat anodizing.

Awesome gas mitigation to the face by a taller fence that covers to top of receiver; as always another great product by Badger Ordnance!

The best charging handle on the market. Improving on the necessary T shape from TDP spec makes flr the easiest to actuate and most rigid charging handle on the market. It glides effortlessly and I find that flatwire springs compress much easier with the handle. Everything is faster. Its also as skinny as ACH but with more purchase. Previously I had only used badger scope mounts & their C1 safety (also fantastic, and the best on the market imo) so I chanced this CH. the tan one is tanodized and beautiful, pictures dont do it justice. The black is black ano as expected. If this was $65 id have them in all my rifles. Gas mitigation is tremendous as well.
