Ergonomic EXCEPT...
I did not purchase this from Cheaper Than Dirt, but if I had, the product in no way reflects their service. On my recent build of a 10.5" AR pistol I thought I'd give this version of Strike's bolt catch a shot because this had a different look to it and "should" function the same as the previous version, right? No. This one has has been a struggle from the get go because of the pressure required to release the bolt. Using only your index finger is impossible as you simply cannot get enough leverage. I get I have small-ish hands but there's NO HOPE! You simply cannot release the bloody thing at all! The catch face LOOKS like the other, but upon inspection, I noticed the catch face appears to be thicker than the stock version. Maybe mine was a fluke (though I seriously doubt that) or, maybe it's how they designed this particular one; who knows. Because it's from Strike, it SHOULD be the same as the other Enhanced Bolt Catch except for the paddle shapes - it is NOT. Finally, between the 3x of uninstall, Dremeling, polish, install routine I was able to make this function as it should have right out of the package. Frustrating and disappointing for sure! I currently use a "Strike Industries Enhanced Bolt Catch Large-Wide Dual Paddle" on another build and it is STELLAR. I'm a lefty shooter with smaller hands and this latch makes life a lot easier for sure. In addition to being ergonomic, it catches as it should but releases with no effort- you push the paddle and the bolt slams shut. Easy, and as I imagined it should work- like the EOM mil-spec catch, but better. Hence, the "upgrade." This version, not so much. Bottom line: If you don't mind tinkering and gunsmithing products that should be "drop in ready," then great! If you want good to go out of the package, then STAY AWAY from this and get the other version. You'll be stoked. Pros: Ergonomic Cons: Fussy
