Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Afterburner work without the Ramjet barrel, or do I need both?
The Afterburner compensator is designed to work as part of a system with the Radian Ramjet threaded barrel for the Glock 19 Gen 4. The 44% recoil reduction figure is achieved when both components are used together. The INTRA-LOK taper-lock mounting system on the Afterburner specifically interfaces with the V-groove on the Ramjet barrel, so you do need the matching Radian Ramjet barrel for proper installation and full performance benefits.
Will the Afterburner Ramjet Compensator work with standard Glock 19 holsters?
Compatibility with existing holsters will vary. Because the Afterburner adds minimal length at just 0.47 inches, it fits more holsters than full-size compensators, and its angled front face is specifically designed to aid in holstering. However, holsters molded tightly to a stock Glock 19 profile may not accommodate the compensator. We recommend checking with your holster manufacturer or looking for compensator-compatible holsters from brands like Safariland, T.Rex Arms, or Dark Star Gear.
What ammunition works best with the Radian Afterburner Ramjet system?
Radian Weapons specifies 115-grain 9mm ammunition for achieving the advertised 44% recoil reduction. Lighter, faster loads tend to generate the gas pressure that compensators rely on most effectively. The system can be used with other 9mm loads, but performance results — particularly recoil reduction percentages — may vary with heavier projectiles such as 124gr or 147gr ammunition.
