If you were a real firearm owner hypothetically speaking, I would never recommend the Strike Industries latchless charging handle, well, let's say it has problem with people's noses. This is an airsoft example of it. Speaking of which, first rule is to look cool in airsoft, and AD certainly knows this with the many SI custom M4s. Not exactly a highly practical charging handle, but I would lie I said it didn't look cool. Goes very nice on my Canadian service rifle inspired PWS MK110. Latchless has one inherent pro, which is completely ambidextrous. Difficult to install however, as E&C being VFC clones in many aspects.
