The GG&G Beretta 1301 tactical charging handle is designed to provide reliable performance under the most demanding conditions, including stress fire encounters where failure to retract the bolt handle completely could lead to catastrophic malfunctions. This charging handle is crafted from a single piece of 4130 hardened chrome moly steel and features a heavily knurled surface for easy gripping, whether you're wearing gloves or not. While the GG&G Beretta 1301 tactical charging handle is exceptionally durable and manufactured to Mil-Spec standards with a non-reflective combat finish, it is not indestructible. Like any firearm component, its longevity and performance depend on proper use and maintenance. GG&G's design, including the indexing locating tip for positive key lockup, ensures reliable operation and ease of use in critical situations.
