Fortis Manufacturing, Inc. Hammer, Black, Anodized

The Fortis Manufacturing Hammer charging handle is a purpose-built upgrade for shooters who demand reliability and ergonomic function from every component. Built from 7075 T6 billet aluminum and finished in black anodize, this charging handle combines durability with aggressive styling that works as hard as you do. Whether you're running drills on the range, hunting at distance, or operating in demanding conditions, the Hammer gives you a secure, responsive grip when you need it most.

What sets the Hammer apart is its thoughtful engineering: the latch features aggressive serrations that bite equally well whether you're wearing heavy shooting gloves or running bare-handed. That adaptability matters when your grip conditions change between seasons or scenarios. The redesigned back stop on the latch redirects stress away from the roll pin, a change born from real-world testing that extends service life and reduces failure points.

Fortis designed the Hammer with input from industry professionals, military operators, and law enforcement end-users—the people who test gear until it breaks, then demand it be built better. The result is a charging handle that looks aggressive but proves its worth in execution. Drop the Hammer and move with confidence.
