The POF Tomahawk Charging Handle transforms AR-15 manipulation with its oversized paddle design and ambidextrous operation. This precision-machined component eliminates the fumbling associated with mil-spec charging handles during rapid reloads and malfunction clearance.
What Makes This Different
The Tomahawk features dual gas-redirecting vents that channel hot gases away from the shooter's face, particularly beneficial when running suppressed firearms. Unlike standard charging handles that offer limited grip surface, the Tomahawk's enlarged paddle provides 40% more contact area for positive manipulation even with wet or gloved hands. The ambidextrous design allows both right and left-handed shooters to operate the handle with equal efficiency.
Key Features
- 7075-T6 aluminum construction with Type III hardcoat anodizing for corrosion resistance
- Ambidextrous operation with oversized paddle design for enhanced grip
- Dual gas-redirecting vents minimize blowback when shooting suppressed
- Drop-in installation compatible with mil-spec AR-15 upper receivers
- Enlarged contact surface provides 40% more grip area than standard handles

Competitive shooters benefit from the Tomahawk's rapid manipulation capabilities during stage transitions and reload sequences. Law enforcement and military personnel appreciate the reliable function under adverse conditions, while suppressor users experience significantly reduced gas blowback compared to standard charging handles. The robust construction withstands repeated high-volume use without degradation in performance.
