Well I hated spending the $$$ on the shipping for a 20gram (Glock 30 Gen5 45acp) piece of super strong whatever this is made of charging handle, but it was worth every penny I do believe! The spring "give" on this particular model is WooDawgy tough to pull back, even with their machined in factory grooves. But this charging handle is a game changer in that area of concern now, or rather - there is no more concern! Seems very well made, fits like a glove - it became a part of the weapon, like it was born that way... It looked natural and peaceful... ? It was fairly easy to put on looks great! Buy it, you won't regret it. I communicated many times with Mike he was good to go! Now if these guys could make a frame for this compact 45acp that I could shoulder so I can shoot this 40 round magazine that would be great... LOL ?

Added A charging handle to my Glock 40...as another reviewer noted, it installed easily, looks like original equipment and makes retracting the slide much easier. But it bears tightly against the bottom of the moving part of the rear adjustable sight....can't tell if it has changed the point of impact. As noted by the other reviewer, it would take some time with a fine file to create some clearance for the adjustable rear sight. I have a Burris red dot on the way so doubt I'll take the time and trouble. Recover Tactical should probably have a look at the adjustable sight on the Glock 40 and make the modification to this otherwise perfect and much appreciated product. AK

I love this upgrade. Charging my Glock is now easier and faster. I started with the lower profile version and now find the upper profile version helps with sight acquisition.

My old, arthritic hands were having a bit of trouble racking the slide on my G21. I bought this along with the rail mount adapter. The charging handle was a little hard to get on the slide at first. I discovered this is not designed to work with adjustable target sights that over hang the back of the slide. After a few minutes with a file to notch down the rear of the upper handle piece it cleared the rear sight and mounted OK. Once on correctly and screwed together it is a nice addition to my G21. Much easier to rack the slide. I highly recommend this addition, but just be aware it will take some modification if you have a rear sight larger than the stock rear sight.

I love this thing! I’ve aged (a bit) and developed arthritis in my metacarpophalangeal thumb joint. This condition has caused a good deal of problems racking the slides of all my pistols (Glock snob). The UCH21 has given me the opportunity to very easily rack the slide of my G-30 and go back to the range. I chose to just use the lower portion and I’m very pleased. My G-21 will get its UH21 racker installed in short order. The installation process is easy-peasy.

I put one of these on my Glock 34, and loved it. I had been waiting for them to make one for a large frame and even emailed them to request it. I was told that it would be coming out a month later. I now have one on my Glock 40 and it is awesome!

I have been waiting for these to come out, I have them on my baby glock...compact 9mm, both my Glock 19's now on my Glock 30 (.45) and I will soon have it on my Glock 21. I am 67 and after years of working with my hands, they have lost their strength and are arthritic, and these Charging Handles have made shooting a lot more enjoyable. And look fine and don't interfere with my holsters. Great Product!

The Charging Handles for a large frame Glock 20 works very well and looks great on my Glock 20 and at good price
