This 45 is actually about 30-ish percent stronger.

We have some pictures of that on our social media as well.

And the reason that's important is because when your bolt goes into battery, right, this is actually the piece that's taking the brunt of the action.

Yeah, so if you've heard of handles breaking inside of guns, almost 90% of the time it's this gas key that's popping off.

And it's just a little bitty something, and we even tested this against some of the forged mil-spec kind of variety handles.

There's a...

There's a standard for forgings that, you know, people think that they're stronger and they definitely are for the most part.

That's definitely a fact.

But one thing that we also did is we machine our handles.

They're made of billet, but we machine them with the grain direction in mind.

So most folks don't do that, which is what leads to that aluminum embrittlement where the grain direction might be running differently.

in an incorrect orientation.

So the aluminum will become a little bit brittle.

But ours actually will have a tendency to want to bend with the direction of the bolt carrier.

So it actually does offer a little bit of deflection in hard use scenarios if it were to get extremely hot.

And again, we have another picture of this where we put two charging handles under the same force.

One of them snapped in half and ours actually just bent.

So it actually will offer a little bit of give during those hard use scenarios.

Yeah, I like that.

I didn't know that.
