The Tavor TS12 Knurled Charging handle projects out 1/4″ farther than the OEM handle and has a 1/2″ diameter knurled drum for good purchase, and we have found this to be the perfect size to give a good grip without racking knuckles on the receiver yet the handle does not project out too far from the side of the gun. Just like the OEM handle the Knurled Charging Handle will work on both the left and right side of the gun and is a drop in replacement made 100% in the USA
