The main reasons for buying an upgraded charge handle are:
* Scope ocular piece clearance on some rifle/optic/mount configurations
* Increased strength for fighting carbines when doing malfunction clearance or fast CH reloads
* Ambidextrous handles for left hand use
* Better ergonomic interface compared to standard CH shape
* The gas issue with suppressors comes more from the chamber, but charge handles with occlusion of suppressor-induced gas date back to Vietnam
Beware of 6061 aluminum charge handles as they are more failure-prone.
A good 7075T6 handle will be much stronger, especially if you have to mortar.
