The Condition One Charging Handle (C1CH) represents the 4th-generation evolution from the original inventors of the ambidextrous charging handle. Designed for the AR15/M16/M4 platform, the C1CH combines refined ergonomics, enhanced strength, and duty-grade reliability in a sleek, low-profile package.

Machined from 7075 aluminum forgings—not billet or extrusions—the C1CH delivers superior structural strength where it matters most. Oversized stainless-steel pins secure the ambidextrous latches, ensuring long-term durability under hard use. The ergonomically contoured latches feature vertical serrations on both the front and rear, providing a confident, nonslip grip in all conditions, while rounded latch ends help minimize snagging on gear.

With a streamlined 2.42-inch overall width, the C1CH strikes the ideal balance between accessibility and minimal bulk, allowing fast, efficient weapon manipulation without interfering with optics or accessories. The rear of the charging handle incorporates heightened gas-deflecting fencing, helping redirect felt gas blowback away from the shooter’s face—an especially valuable feature for suppressed or high-round-count use.

Finished in a Type III hardcoat anodizing, the Condition One Charging Handle is built to withstand demanding environments while maintaining a clean, professional appearance.
