Ambidextrous Charging Handles for AR-15 – Smooth, Fast & Left-Hand Ready
Whether you're a left-handed shooter, building a duty-ready AR-15, or simply want more flexibility at the range, an ambidextrous charging handle is one of the smartest upgrades you can make. These enhanced handles let you charge, clear, or manipulate your rifle quickly — from either side — improving control, speed, and ergonomics in any shooting scenario.
At Mounts Plus, we stock a carefully selected range of AR-15 ambidextrous charging handles from top brands like Radian, BCM, Strike Industries, Aero Precision, and more.
Why Choose an Ambi Charging Handle?
Standard charging handles are built for right-handed users, which can slow you down under pressure. Ambi models fix that by giving both hands equal access — whether you're clearing a jam, charging a fresh mag, or operating in awkward positions. Left-handed shooters benefit even more, gaining confidence and control with every cycle.
