Well crap! I have 3 BCM mod4s. Was going to keep putting them on all my builds to standardize. Thanks for saving me $50!
I can't really stomach the prices asked for Radian and G handles, unless like 30-40% off on black Friday.
Will have to keep looking or just buy some milspec CHs for my basic bubblegum carbine builds.
All the charging handles I've used, even the standard designed type have all worked just by using the offhand (so I don't to switch hands, using the two-hand tango method ) by using the index finger in a clinched position.
Have never had to use the thumb...so after 30+ years it would be difficult for me to change it now.
I've see the Radian handles close to the BCM prices...anywhere from 40-60.00 depending on the seller and if there's a sale going on.
The original Mod 4 operated like the standard stock charging handle, like you mentioned...hand sweep or hook the latch with the fingers.
The BCM Mod 4B, to get the latch to unlock from the receiver I had to place my thumb on the back of the charging handle, apply some force forward as if pushing it in, then the latch would release.
I thought I obtained a faulty handle, but have since heard from others of having the same experience.
