Description
Strike's latchless charging handles solve a lot of problems, but the trade-off is a smaller surface to get your fingers on. The ISO Tab fixes that. This little red aluminum extension bolts right onto the handle and gives you a wider, aggressively textured grip so you can rack the bolt cleanly whether you're wearing gloves, running a big optic that crowds the rear of the receiver, or just want a more positive pull under pressure.
What the ISO Tab in Red Brings to the Table
The tab is machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, so it holds up to hard use while barely registering on the scale. It carries a slight tilt once installed, which makes engagement feel more natural and gives your fingers something to catch instead of skating off a flat surface. The red hardcoat anodizing does double duty here too, adding a pop of color to your build while making the handle easier to spot and grab in low light. Each tab widens the handle by roughly a third of an inch per side, a subtle change that makes a real difference when you're moving fast.
Running One Side or Going Full Ambi
One of the nice things about the ISO Tab is flexibility. You can mount a single tab on one side, or add a second to run it fully ambidextrous. The tabs are interchangeable and drop onto either side of the handle, so you set it up to match how you shoot. Folks with larger hands, glove users, and anyone with a crowded rail tend to appreciate the extra real estate the most.
Installation and Fit
Setup is quick. The tab mounts with the included screw, and it's worth grabbing a dab of threadlocker before you tighten things down so it stays put through recoil and repeated cycling. Keep in mind this tab is built specifically for Strike Industries latchless charging handles and won't work with standard AR-15 handles. Pair it with the Strike latchless setup and you've got one of the smoother, faster charging arrangements out there.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the ISO Tab work with my standard AR-15 charging handle?
No, this tab is designed specifically for Strike Industries latchless charging handles and won't fit a standard AR-15 handle. If you're running the Strike latchless setup, it drops right on. For any other charging handle, you'll want to look at a different extended latch option.
Can I run the ISO Tab on both sides for an ambidextrous setup?
Yes. The tabs are interchangeable and mount on either side of the handle, so you can run a single tab or add a second one for a fully ambi configuration. You'll just need one ISO Tab per side. Each tab adds roughly a third of an inch of width to that side of the handle.
Does the ISO Tab come with the charging handle?
No, the charging handle is sold separately. This package includes the single ISO Tab and its mounting screw only. You'll need a Strike Industries latchless charging handle to attach it to.
Do I need threadlocker to install the ISO Tab?
It's strongly recommended. Adding a small amount of threadlocker to the mounting screw before you tighten it down keeps the tab secure through recoil and repeated bolt cycling. It's a quick step that saves you from the screw backing out down the road.
