Charging handle

[jk6672]

I want to replace my charging handle on my M4. Are there any + or -'s with the FFT steel or Ti handle? I thought I read some neg's about the Ti some time ago, but can't locate the info again.

I picked up the KZ one myself, because it was pretty much an enlarged replica of the original. I liked that the detents were cut to mimic the original, so it didn't spin freely.

However, during a steel match on a very very windy day, where dust was so thick in the air that I couldn't see more than 15 yards, I was clearing a stovepipe, and threw the charging handle out of the bolt. I didn't realize until I went to clear another malfunction, that the handle was missing.

FYI that was the only time that I'd ever had malfunctions with my M4. It had seen 600+ rounds before the match with no cleaning. The dust and dirt just killed it.
