I have never handled either the NDZ or Doomsday, but have a Tacticool version using a SWS extented latch and very happy with the setup.

BIG Plus 1!

Tacticool22 handle + Simple Weapon Solutions Medium latch = Greatness

I've been running the Tacticool22 and love it. Just put on the Doomsday yesterday and it is sweet. Went on easily & runs smooth. Only reason I upgraded from the Tacticool was because I run with a Primary Arms magnifier as far back as possible & need a charging handle with large ears.

When Tacticool22 comes out with his new, larger one, I'll get it too. Not that I necessarily need it but because he does great work and I feel we need to support the specialized vendors that service our gun. That plus it feeds my addiction to everything gun.

On the 15-22, I have only used the Tacticool & the Doomsday. Both are great products. If you want or need larger ears, then I suggest the Doomsday... for now. If you like it small & out of the way, you can't beat the Tacticool22.

Google finds it better if you use Tacticool22 as opposed to just Tacticool.

Bolt Parts : Tacticool22, Tactical .22 Rifle Parts and Accessories

The Simple Weapon Solution's latch works great with it.

I have used the NDZ for two years with no complaints. Both my grandsons have them on their rifles, as well. Both of them have the NDZ extended latch and mine has a Plinker Tactical ambi-latch.

I recently acquired a DT handle and latch and currently have it installed. I do like the increased size and latch for shooting with gloves. I prefer the fit and finish of the NDZ, though.

All three are well made, excellent products. ANY OF THE THREE WILL SERVE YOU WELL!

I am running a hybrid of the Tacticool22 charging handle with a Plinker Tactical ambidextrous latch. They don't sell tbhe latch separately and I pulled it from my Plinker charging handle. The Plinker charging handle is working fine for my brother in his MOE, using a Belt Fed extended latch

I have not handled the Doomsday handle, but I do have the NDZ and Tacticool22 handles, and they are both quality pieces.

The only thing I would take into consideration, is that the Tacticool22 does not come with a new latch and is made to accept the factory one. NDZ does offer a handle/latch combo or you can purchase the handle by itself and use the factory latch.

As others have mentioned in this thread I do offer a few different drop in latches that will work with the NDZ, Tacticool22, Plinker Tactical, and the original factory handles.

I like the one that came on the rifle, unless you have an optic that prohibits you from grabbing it, why change it. Mine is stock and charges the round just as good as an aftermarket model. But it does not have the cool..... factor. But my AR15 is pretty cool with the Raptor.

Simple Weapons Solutions large latch is $50? A $50 dollar latch to go on a $35 charging handle seems a little backwards. I'm a spare no expense on my rifles kind of guy and $50 for a latch makes my eyes cross. Lol

Not sure where you are seeing $50 for the large latch. The large and medium latches are $25, and the ambi latch is $15.

Good catch.. Apparently Paypal didn't clear out the cart from the last time I added one a few months back. So it showed $50 instead of $25. But the cart number showed 2 not 1.

You're right.. Good catch. The Paypal cart didn't empty from the last time I looked at buying one a couple months back. When I added another one a few days ago it totallted out $50 but the cart was at 2. I didn't notice that nor did I figure the paypal cart would hold onto the the previous one.
