Why We Carry It
The Radian Afterburner and Ramjet system in black Radianite finish represents a solution to a challenge many concealed carry shooters face: traditional threaded compensators can add bulk and create legal complications in certain jurisdictions. Radian’s threadless design bypasses these issues entirely while delivering measurable performance gains in a discreet black finish that won’t draw unwanted attention. The black Radianite coating isn’t just aesthetic—it’s a functional hard coating that protects against corrosion and wear while maintaining the low-profile appearance serious carry shooters prefer. The 416R stainless steel used in the Ramjet barrel is specifically formulated for firearms applications, offering the precise machining characteristics necessary for match-grade accuracy while maintaining sufficient corrosion resistance for daily carry. Multiple user reviews consistently report noticeable improvements in recoil management and shot-to-shot recovery time, all while maintaining a professional, tactical black appearance that complements any carry setup.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this system really reduce recoil by 44%?
Radian’s testing shows up to a 44% reduction in recoil with 115-grain ammunition. User reviews consistently report noticeable improvements in muzzle flip and faster target reacquisition, though individual results will vary based on ammunition choice, shooting technique, and grip strength. Heavier ammunition (124-grain and above) typically produces optimal results with this compensator design.
Will this fit in my current Glock 43 holster?
It depends on your holster design. The Afterburner extends your G43 slide to G48 length, so most open-ended G48 holsters will work. Many open-ended G43 holsters may also accommodate the added length. Fully enclosed holsters molded specifically for the stock G43 profile will likely not fit. Contact your holster manufacturer to verify compatibility before purchase.
How difficult is installation, and can I remove it for cleaning?
Installation is drop-in and requires no gunsmithing. The INTRA-LOK system allows you to slide the compensator over the barrel and secure it with the included tapered locking screw and tool. The design allows complete barrel removal from the slide for thorough cleaning without disturbing the compensator timing. Most users report successful installation within minutes.
