stribog charging handle

The Stribog is a semi-automatic pistol manufactured by Grand Power in Slovakia. It has a reciprocating charging handle located on the top of the receiver that is used to manually charge the firearm.

To use the charging handle, first ensure the firearm is unloaded and the safety is engaged. Then, grasp the charging handle with your non-firing hand and pull it rearward until it stops. This will draw the bolt carrier group back and chamber a round. You can then release the charging handle and the bolt carrier group will move forward, ready to fire.

It's important to note that the Stribog's charging handle is not ambidextrous and is located on the top of the firearm, which may require some adjustment to your shooting stance and grip. Additionally, because the charging handle reciprocates with the bolt carrier group, some shooters may find it slightly more difficult to maintain a sight picture while firing rapidly.
