It depends on the red dot. If the red dot overlaps the area covered by the charging handle, obviously that is an issue. You may be able to make it work by sanding down/dremeling the charging handle a bit. If you'd rather just return it for a refund, please request an RMA here.
Is this compatible with PSA Dagger compact Carry in 9mm?

A
Our charging handles are created for specific compatibility with the brands listed (like Glock). I can't comment on the one you mentioned but if it happens to be an exact clone of any of the compatible guns listed here, it will work.

What charging handle is compatible with gen 5 Glock 17?
-
A

Can you PLEASE sell a parts kit for the charging handles? The UCH17 to be specific. I see you have a parts kit that says it is for the charging handles, but upon opening that item you will see it says the fasteners are m2.5 and the charging handle fasteners are m2 instead. Please advise. You guys are awesome, but I don't wanna pay $30 for a whole new kit when I just need the fasteners/nuts.

Maybe there is some mistake there with the measurements. The hardware is correct for the UCH17.
Pleas make one of these for the Glock 44 in .22LR. THE 20/20 fits the Glock 44 perfectly, but the charging handle does not fit the pistol.

Hmmm... the 20/20 is not tested to be compatible with the G44. If it fits, great! We don't have a charging handle for the G44 at this time. If we do add one, we will send out an email. Did you check to see if any other vendors have one?
A Thank you for your promo reply. I have not, checked other vendors. I wanted to see if your company would modify the design and it would be a great addition to your already impressive line. Now that Glock has fixed the G44 issues it is reliable, and not very companies are making accessories for it as of yet. The G44 fits perfectly and functions great in the 20/20. Without the cocking handle you must use the forward cocking serrations. I also mounted a pistol laser to the lower pic rail and once zeroed it is accurate and makes a great small rimfire package for backpacking and a fun range toy.
Will this fit Gen 4 Glock 26?
-
A
Yes, as long as it doesn't have an RTF “Moon Cut” slide.
I have a Glock 22 Gen 3, will the UCH21 charging handle work on my Glock that is included in your 20/20NMG kit.

The Charging Handle included in the 20/20NMG kit is this one, the UCH17 - and the UCH17 is compatible with your weapon.
Does this work for the Glock 19 as well?
-
A Yes. It is compatible with the 19 (unless, you have an RTF model).

JEROME SMITH –
I just brought the pistol stabilizer and I love it, I had to modify the charging adapter to fit over my rear site on my glock 17 gen 5 and it works flawless, I can’t say enough good about this product well worth the price and purchase 🫶🏾👌🏿👍🏿
D Justice (verified owner) –
Great product! Fits correctly, looks good on my G17 and makes racking the slide easier.
Mike I (verified owner) –
I just received my charging handle for my Glock 17. It was easy to install and makes racking the gun much easier. It seems to be well made, so I anticipate it will last a lifetime.
breauxp (verified owner) –
A charging handle was never on my list of accessories for my Glock 23 as none that I had seen offered solid performance and ease of use UNTIL I found the UCH17.
Having seen the different methods to cock/chamber check that a slide mounted optic give, I quickly realized that the added height of that design has great merit. HOWEVER, the current pricing of optics and the cost of milling a slide for my preferred mount put that combination far down on my list of things to do to my gun.
Enter Recover Tactical and the UCH17…
At $30, the improvement is an investment that pays great dividends.
Even with just the lower profile upper, the improved grip is phenomenal, but don’t take my word for it, check out Instructor Zero’s video of using it WET AND OILY!
If you have to find a flaw in everything, sure there is the added width that will print more in concealed carry, but I’ll work around that any day to know that I can do full manipulations one handed, if needed.
Added note: my Glock is hydro-dipped and the polymer construction of the charging handle has shown no wear on the finish after being removed and installed 5 times.
