Phase 5 Ambi vs. Rainier Raptor? - Klem - 01-01-2014

Have been seeing the Phase 5 ambi charge handle a fair bit on this forum.

I have being using the Rainier Raptor for some time and find it excellent for off-hand shooting. But, without having seen the Phase 5 in the flesh I am wondering which is better.

A penny for your thoughts...Anyone have experience with both?

I have 2 upper configured with the Rainier Raptor charging handle and have no regrets whatsoever....

If an ambidextrous charging handle was important to me I'd be contacting SLR about the new one they're set to bring to the market.

For me the ambidexterity is of no consequence, but having a latch that is robust and big enough to constantly be operated left hand only without binding, shearing the micro-roll pins, or interference from a mounted scope.

I have no Raptor experience, but am very happy on all counts with out new Phase 5's.
