The Strike Industries T-Bone Charging Handle transforms AR-15 manipulation with its distinctive dual-handle design and enhanced grip surface. This charging handle eliminates the fumbling associated with standard mil-spec handles during rapid reloads and malfunction clearances.
What Makes This Different
The T-Bone's dual polymer handle configuration provides 40% more gripping surface than traditional charging handles. While standard handles offer a single contact point, the T-Bone's symmetrical design allows ambidextrous operation with positive engagement from either side. The OD Green polymer handles resist heat buildup during sustained fire, maintaining grip integrity when aluminum handles become too hot to touch.
Key Features
- Dual polymer handles with aggressive texturing for positive grip in all conditions
- 7075-T6 aluminum shaft rated for over 10,000 charging cycles
- Ambidextrous design accommodates left and right-handed shooters
- OD Green polymer construction resists heat transfer and chemical degradation
- Drop-in installation compatible with all mil-spec AR-15 upper receivers
- Extended handle length provides 25% more leverage than standard charging handles
- Low-profile design clears most optic configurations and backup iron sights
Field performance demonstrates the T-Bone's advantage during competition stages requiring rapid transitions and reload sequences. The dual-handle design prevents the charging handle from binding under stress, while the textured polymer surfaces maintain grip security with wet or gloved hands. Law enforcement agencies report improved malfunction clearance times during training exercises, particularly in low-light conditions where tactile feedback becomes critical.
