NDZ Performance Charging Handle 15/22
I just got off the phone with them they have them done I am having custom graphics put on mine.
They gave me a fair price for a custom one as well.
They have only one pic up now of a custom one they did but they told me they have tons of images they can do.
They are not up for sale yet on the site but they sold me one over the phone.
Charging Handle
Sorry I do not know how to put the pics up on here.
NDZ said they will sell for $55.99 with the Tactical Latch.
Custom ones have a small artwork fee if they dont have the image you want.

Yea, got mine as well... love it. One thing I discovered, the plastic charging handle (PCH), is flimsy and needs replacement. So I ordered the Aluminum PCH from "Tacticool22" web site. Yea, it cost some bucks but I've been shooting my M&P 15/22 more than my full size AR and to me it is worth it. Here my photo of the extended latch;

Called Tacticool22, my aluminum charging handle will be shipping this week. Can't wait to join the two together. I think this is it for upgrades now, maybe time to get another M&P and build it up for some other kind of training..

I just got mine and I have to say the fit and finish is outstanding! NDZ did a great job! I had first bought a Plinker Tactical aluminum charging handle and wasn't very happy with it. It has sharp edges (not cut yourself sharp, just not beveled or rounded) which gives it a very unfinished look. Mine also has machining marks all over the bottom. Like it was a mess up or something. I never complained because I figured they wouldn't be seen. As time went by though, the charging handle just irked me. For $60 it should have been a better quality product. The NDZ handle is half the price and in my opinion superior.

I haven't tried their charging handle, but I have other products and they are first rate and the customer service is first rate too. A great bunch of guys to do business with.

If you ever find yourself wanting an aluminum charging handle, I would very much recommend them.

I have a PT handle - mixed emotions about it. I bought it for the ambidextrous latch, and it that regard I like it. The fact that is it noticeably dimensionally undersized, compared to the S&W charging handle, is what I am not so thrilled with.

I don't blame you. I had one as well and it was none too good. I should post pics of what the underside of my PT charging handle looks like. Believe me, the NDZ handle is a whole new world....and I'm not employed or affiliated with them in any way. But having owned both, the Plinker was over priced and under spec....

I didn't buy mine until the price came down to $46 and change. I was less than thrilled with my conversations with them about the dimensional difference. It does function, as advertised, though.

If "PCH" is plastic charging handle, once you got an aluminum one wouldn't it no longer be a "PCH" one? Jk, just messin.

Yesterday I picked up an NDZ charging handle and latch (along with some other stuff) for my two grandson's 15-22s, which they are getting for Christmas. I compared it to the Plinker Tactical version I have on my rifle.
If I had it to do over again, I would go with the NDZ, even though I prefer PT's ambi-latch. The dimensions are virtually identical to S&W's, which is not the case with the PT. From a previous thread, you will know that the PT's fit is loose and sloppy, by comparison. Additionally, the NDZ version is better machined with no machining marks and an absolutely smooth finish - which does not describe the PT.
If I can remove the PT latch, I'll probably scrap the PT handle and put it on an NDZ and toss the PT in the junk drawer.
FWIW, other than being a good customer and living 20 minutes away, I have no connection with NDZ.
I just compared the two handles and the pivot pin locations are identical, as are the slot dimensions, so I WILL be moving the PT ambi-latch onto an NDZ handle before long.
Anyone want a PT handle with a S&W latch on it ... cheap?

You can, and you will. I did. It will fit. I had to bend the ambi part of the latch slightly so that I could get the barb of the latch into the recess and locked into place, but it works. So I'd say remove the Plinker latch and install it on your NDZ handle. I can upload pics of mine if you want.

Thanks for the heads up. It will be next week before I have a chance to run over to NDZ and spend more money with them. If I have a problem I'll let you know, but you might post the photos anyway so others can see what we are talking about.
It's really unbelievable the poor machining quality of the PT handle. i was very disappointed as well as unhappy with the, to me, huge dimensional variations. When I talked to them about it, they made it sound like this was for a major combat rifle, not the 15-22. I am unimpressed with the company.

I couldn't agree with you more. It's night and day.
Here are some quick pics. Zombie response Team aside, I got a great deal on a great charging handle and haven't looked back. If PT did as good of a job on the handle as they did on their latch, they would have something. Then again, they might not have made the latch in house....wouldn't surprise me....

Me, neither. Their product's quality doesn't match their advertising hype.

No thank you.
The NDZ latch is very nice and their custom lazer engraving is awesome.

i have a NDZ handle,its nice and the etchings are cool on them.after seeing the ones from tacticool22 i had to order one from him and just use my NDZ as a spare part to have around.dont get me wrong,the NDZ's are very well made and fit and finish is second to none.they are deff worth the price they charge.i liked the FDE color option on the tacticool version so thats why i got one,otherwise i would have just stuck with my NDZ.

I have the NDZ as well, but will be selling it soon. I just received the SWS latch and find that to be the easiest to use of the three brands. It doesn't stick out like the NDZ and is easier to grab since it is ambidextrous. I'm hopefully getting the tacticool handle soon and I'll be one happy camper.

If NDZ doesn't have any, Tacticool22 makes one.

So if I put a scope on my AR-22.. which charging handle is easier to manipulate..NDZ, or tacticool 22..
The NDZ looks easier to grab, but the tacticool22 looks very smooth and nicely made

Either one will do. BTW, you have an M&P 15-22. There's no such thing as an AR-22.

I run a Tacticool22 TBar handle with an NDZ latch (thanks MajorL) which I have been using for last 2 years or so.
I have tried the PT, the Doomsday Ambi, the Next Level Ambi and the one constant is....
I keep returning to the Tacticool22/NDZ combo.
Simply the best combo I have tried. Works smooth and slick. Hardly any wear marks after somewhere in the region of 20k rounds through the rifle. Easily accessible latch even with scopes or EOTECH RDS with G33 Magnifier.
