As a left handed shooter who runs an LPVO with a qd suppressor, thanks for completely justifying my purchase.

thank you for being the first review to not say "yea everyone knows milspec is garbage" really a misleading thing to say. your explanation is on point.

I run Radian Raptors (and Talons) on all my AR platforms for all the pros that you stated. Well worth their price.

Yup as a lefty had to go with one great charging handle for the money 💯

Saw some dude kickstart charging handles for a durability test, radian supposedly felt the same after 50 hard kicks. Others were pooping out at 10

When building an AR , the 3 items you shouldn’t be a cheap ass on is the charging handle, the bcg, and the barrel. Buy the best whatever it costs. and I’d even argue to not cheap out on the trigger group.

"Looking cool, is it important? Well yeah, to an extent." Lol appreciate the honesty! Function is always the most important than style, but if all else is equal, the one with better style wins every time 😂 And when you can get

I run an LPVO and just got the Radian and it is a huge improvement. The fact that it lets me even just use my right hand to run the handle on the outside is so nice and effortless. I am keeping the A2 milspec one as a spare/backup. Is the radian worth the money? I would say yes. Though the thing with Radian is that’s their best thing for the AR-15 platform. The other accessories and upgrades they have I’ve seen and heard they are just ok.

Great video thanks

The milspec is too narrow for me to reach and pull on the optic if have

I added a scope to my rifle and it is hard to grab the charging handle now so I’ll be upgrading mine soon
