I've been very happy with my Phase 5 Tactical Ambi Battlelatch.

Ha..ha.. I think I have similar but different CH's on every AR I own, including a LR-10.... On a more serious note I think I gave one away here, because the "wings" were like saw blades, and without gloves it felt like grabbing a grater.
I like the ambi's so I can pull with my right hand (bad form but I do it occasionally) I've found nearly all from reputable companies are six of one and half dozen of the other, just personal preference. One I love, you may hate, so I wouldn't even try to recommend one to you.

P.S. Just realized this post is almost a year old...never mind.

Anyone have a pic of a Badger gen 3 alongside a Raptor or Geissele? The Badger looks wide in pics and I'm trying to get a solid reference.

Slippers might be able to chime in with a picture.

The badger is huge, but nice and rounded. I no longer have any raptors since they are pretty bad with a suppressor. The Geissele airborne would be my pick if I wanted to have ambi, keep it slim, and not get shredded when the rifle is slung across my back. Otherwise I use the BCM mod 5 small latch for all of my rifles.

Personally, I really like the Badger. The edges are much smoother than the other 2.

Cool thanx for the pics..always wondered how wide it really was
Another side note..how much wider is the airborne compared to the regular Geissele super ch

Badger DOES look super smooth, and not like it would be pinchy at all. But man, both sides being wider than the long side of a Radian seems... well, like a lot. I guess I'd just have to try one.
I don't want to jack someone else pic from another site, but this page has a Geissele Super and Airborne side by side.

The difference in width is minimal between the regular and airborne. The airborne has less of a hook which is the selling point for me.
Decent comparison pic:

Thanks.. I see what your saying by "less hook"

If Badgers were cheaper, I'd buy more. They have zero pinch factor.

Actually... just remember the whole reason I asked. Looking for an ambi that doesn't pinch, that's flat on the back to facilitate nose to charging handle. I like the reference point when I'm behind my scope.
All while preferably not being overly wide.Last edited by Aragorn; 22 July 2017 at 20:31.
