Description
The stock charging handle on a Remington 1100 or 1187 can feel pretty small when you need it most. The GG&G Enhanced Charging Handle solves that problem by giving you a much larger, more ergonomic grip that makes racking the action faster and more reliable, especially during competitive shooting or when wearing gloves.
Built for Serious Use
This handle is manufactured from 4140 ordnance steel and heat-treated to Rockwell 45 hardness, which means it's built to take the constant punishment of serious shooting without breaking down. The manganese phosphate finish is applied per military specification standards in a non-reflective matte black that resists corrosion and stays looking clean in the field. All edges are deburred and rounded so you won't snag or catch your hand during operation. The whole thing weighs less than an ounce, so it adds virtually nothing to your gun.
Installation and Compatibility
No gunsmithing required. The GG&G Enhanced Charging Handle drops right in as a direct replacement with no modifications needed to your shotgun. It won't rotate or shift during use because the design is engineered to remain stationary. The heavy knurling on the grip surface prevents your fingers from slipping off even if you're shooting hard or wearing gloves, which matters more than you might think when speed counts. Since it doesn't rotate, you get consistent indexing every time you reach for it.
Proven Design
GG&G is a well-established manufacturer of quality tactical shotgun accessories, and this handle reflects their attention to detail. It comes with a lifetime warranty backing the craftsmanship. Whether you're running 3-gun competition, practical shotgun sports, or simply want a more reliable way to cycle your 1100 or 1187, this is a solid upgrade that works.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this charging handle fit my specific Remington 1100 or 1187?
This GG&G handle is designed for 12-gauge Remington 1100 and 1187 shotguns and installs without any modifications. The design features dual detent cutouts that work with both older 1100 models (with bottom detent) and newer 1187 models (with rear detent), making it compatible across different production years of these shotguns.
Does the GG&G Enhanced Charging Handle rotate or come loose during use?
No. This handle is specifically engineered not to rotate, so it stays locked in position during firing and cycling. The retention system uses your shotgun's existing detent spring and ball bearing, which has proven reliable for decades on factory handles.
How much bigger is this compared to the factory handle?
The GG&G handle is significantly larger and provides a more positive grip surface. The oversized profile and heavy knurling make a noticeable difference when you need to manipulate the charging handle quickly, especially when wearing gloves or shooting under stress.
What's the warranty on this charging handle?
GG&G backs this handle with a lifetime warranty. It's made from heat-treated 4140 ordnance steel, so it's built to handle professional-level use without failing. The manganese phosphate finish also resists corrosion for long-term durability.
