Customer Questions and Answers
28 questions from customers
Will it work on a G17gen6
No, as of the moment we don't have any charging handle that is compatible with Gen 6 Glock.
I have a gen 5 g19. Can you remove the slide and barrel for disassemble with it on it, or do you have to remove it first?
Yes, you should be able to remove the slide with the charging handle installed.
Hi! I have 2 questions! Firstly will this work on a gen5 g27? (Description suggests it does but want to 2x check) Secondly will this work with said g27 as a means to rack the slide when using the s pro?
Yes, this is compatible with a Glock 27 Gen 5. Additionally, it is not compatible with the S-Pro, which comes with its own dedicated charging handle.
I own a Glock model 40 10mm are you going to make a charging handle for this model?
We do have the UCH21 that is compatible with your Glock 40.
Have a Glock 17 gen 5 that has a milled Holosun 507 c on it…will this charger work?
No, the charging handle won’t work if a slide-mounted optic is installed.
These are a godsend for folks with weakened hand strength! I've ordered two, one for a model 19 and one for a model 23. The box lists different Glock model #s and my model's boxes were appropriately checked. The list includes the model 20. Where is it? I gotta' have one yet don't see it to order it.
Could you send us an email at service@recovertactical.com, so we can assist you even further?
Will it work on the "single stacks" Models 43 and 48?
You'll need the compatible GCH for the Glock 43 and 48.

Will it work with Glock 41 MOS
Will the GCH17 fit a Glock 34 gen 5? One description lists the 34, but the fit chart doesn’t include any 34s.
Since the Glock 44 is the same size as the Glock 19, is this a fit for the Glock 44, .22 caliber?
No, but we have a charging handle for Glock 44 here.

Top notch

GCH Charging Handle for the Glock 17 fits my Glock 17 Gen 5 when installed properly. This part makes racking the slide back much easier both with or without gloves including those with big hands. It also gives a clean and tactical appearance while being functional. The build appears to be of decent quality and can handle some rugged abuse.
Randy Gauthier
Fantastic add-on! Now my wife with MS can rack my Glock 35 with ease! Great product!
Mark Martines
Love it, best charging handle on the market.
Chad Duquette
Fit really good. Vary tight. I had to trim it a little due to my custom cut slide on my Glock. Over all amazing addition to my glock
John Morris
I too had my gunsmith shave the bottom of the rack assist on my Glock 26. Could not rack it without it sticking. Now is working as it should. The one for my S&W Shield fit with no problems. Really helps for both weapons.
Terry
This rack assist makes it much easier to operate the slide on my Glock 36. Especially for aging hands. It does not interfere with the draw of my holster or in comfort. Easy to install.
Paul Golden
I have these rack assists on several Glocks, I like the sight picture with them installed and my wife can easily rack all of them. My latest is a Gen 4 34 MOS. The rear sight extends slightly over the back of the slide and I had to remove some material from the assist for a proper fit.
James
Fit was perfect for my Glock 42, but I had to shave some of the bottom for my Glock 26. Package was short of the nuts. Contacted company, said nuts were sent out. We’ll see. Bottom line, nice addition. Thanks
Bill
Nice and innovative product. Easy to use. My wife can now chamber the gun with no difficulty. Thinking about getting another one for a family member with Glock 19. Thanks
