Firearms accessory maker Reptilia has officially pulled back the curtain in later April and Mid-May 2025 on two new additions to its product lineup: the CQG – AK Grip and the Puller AR15 Charging Handle. These releases are the latest in Reptilia's commitment to enhancing weapon control, ergonomics, and shooter comfort, catering to the exacting demands of both professional operators and avid enthusiasts.

The CQG – AK Grip

The CQG – AK Grip is a purpose-built solution specifically engineered for AKM platforms. Reptilia asserts that this new grip significantly improves weapon control and shooter comfort without sacrificing the renowned rugged reliability associated with their brand. This announcement addresses a direct call from their customer base for a more refined grip option for the popular AKM pattern rifles.

Made from high-strength reinforced nylon, the CQG – AK Grip features a more vertical angle than traditional AK grips, promoting a more natural and controlled hand position. Its enhanced beavertail further contributes to improved comfort, while aggressive front and rear texturing ensures a secure hold in even the most challenging environments. This design philosophy aims to facilitate a higher, more intuitive grip, ultimately boosting responsiveness across diverse shooting scenarios, from rigorous training exercises to critical duty use.

Reptilia emphasizes that the CQG – AK Grip carries forward the core tenets of their product development: ergonomics, durability, and simplicity. Key features include optimization for most AK47-pattern rifles and pistols, the aformentioned more vertical grip angle, and its construction from lightweight and ultra-durable reinforced nylon. Like all Reptilia products, it proudly bears the "Made in the USA" stamp that U.S.-based shooters would prefer in their firearms.

The Puller AR15 Charging Handle

Earlier, Reptilia has announced the official launch of the Puller AR15 Charging Handle, now exclusively available through their official website. This charging handle was developed in direct response to the specific needs of a military end-user, highlighting its pedigree as a tool designed for high-stress operational environments, be it in deployment, training, or at the shooting range.

The Puller is constructed from billet 7075-T6 aluminum, it is further enhanced with a MIL-STD Type III, Class 2 hard anodized finish, ensuring the durability and reliability that professional users expect from their equipment. Its design prioritizes functionality with an ambidextrous, low-profile form factor that minimizes snag points, yet remains effortlessly manipulable under pressure, even when wearing gloves.

Eric Burt, President and Design Lead at Reptilia, underscored the product's origin, stating, "The Puller was born from direct end-user feedback and built to perform in the toughest conditions." He reiterated the company's focus on essential attributes, adding, "We focused on simplicity, durability, and ergonomics—just what you need, and nothing you don’t." This ethos clearly defines the Puller's purpose and construction.

The Puller AR15 Charging Handle is engineered for ambidextrous operation, making it suitable for both left and right-handed shooters. Its construction from machined billet 7075-T6 aluminum with a MIL-STD Type III, Class 2 hard anodized finish guarantees robust performance. It is compatible with all AR15/M16 pattern uppers and, like the CQG – AK Grip, is proudly Made in the USA. Furthermore, the Puller is backed by Reptilia’s Lifetime Warranty, offering peace of mind to purchasers.

The Puller AR15 Charging Handle became available for purchase on May 1st in a Black finish, with a Flat Dark Earth (FDE) variant expected to follow soon. It carries a manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of $99.95.
