No - just what he says - the post is August, so it makes me wonder what's going on. If you search `On Point' it just comes up with another alloy or aluminum type.

 

 

The unit is aluminum and is just the handle-part. It slips over your OEM bolt-charger and is secured with a set-screw. No matter what it weighs, it obviously increases weight over OEM as it is ADDED to the OEM unit. I am not interested in it.

Looks fishy to me. My guess is its aluminum. If you follow the links you can find a second page that describes an aluminum charging handle knob that fits over the stock Benelli handle. Its just a knurled sleeve that fits over the stock knob and is attached with a set screw.

 

The photos on the two pages definitely show two different designs; one is the set screw attached sleeve knob, the other appears to be a complete unit. However, it still looks like aluminum to me. I'll wait for Kip too.

If you look at the link(s) on onpoint they show both. The one in question is not the goofy add on one, but looks to be an aluminum copy of the DC unit.

 

Not this:

Well that is all that's on their site.

That is more like a copy of the GG&G handle. It is much larger than the Design Concepts model.

What you need to find out is how much it weighs in grams. If it weighs more than 12.5 grams, FAIL. This is approximate stock weight.

The Design Concepts model weighs in at 8.5 grams. The aluminum model has the potential to beat this weight listing; however I doubt it due to the larger size.

 

Next concern will be the durability of the aluminum. You'll have to buy one to find out.

 

Here are some reference photos to compare with.

I've got his oversized safety on a couple of guns and his charging handle on my competition gun. They work well. The safety is large enough that you can manipulate it with the edge of your finger as you go for the trigger rather than having to push on it with the tip of the finger, THEN go to the trigger. I like the design of the charging handle in competition. It allows me to make a shell change very easily if needed. I like it better than the original, round narrow "tactical" handle that originally came on the gun. I've tried the GGG as well but like Dave's much better. Overall, however, I prefer the newer flat-style factory field charging handle. I haven't felt the need to make a change on my newer guns.
