Description
Turn your G43X’s sharp recoil into smooth, controlled follow-up shots with this Bronze-finished barrel and compensator system.
The single-stack G43X excels at deep concealment, but its lightweight frame amplifies felt recoil during live fire. This Bronze Afterburner and Ramjet combination transforms your carry pistol’s shooting characteristics by cutting muzzle rise dramatically—letting you maintain sight alignment between shots without adding bulk or requiring a threaded barrel. The distinctive Bronze Radianite coating delivers both form and function: enhanced corrosion protection in a finish that stands out from standard black components.
Key Features
- Taper-Lock Installation: INTRA-LOK system eliminates the need for barrel threading by using a tapered locking screw that mates with a precision V-groove, delivering repeatable compensator alignment without permanent modifications
- Gas-Sealing Barrel Chamber: Match-grade 416R stainless barrel incorporates a gas-sealing chamber that maximizes compensator effectiveness while maintaining the factory-loaded chamber indicator for chamber checks
- Fluted Barrel Profile: Weight-reducing flutes on the barrel decrease reciprocating mass and provide visual interest through the ejection port, while the Bronze finish coordinates with aftermarket controls and accessories
- G48 Length Compatibility: Installation brings your G43X’s overall slide length to G48 specifications, opening up compatibility with the wider selection of G48-specific holsters on the market
Important Compatibility Notes
- Optimized for 124-grain and heavier 9mm defensive ammunition
- Open-ended holsters may accommodate the added length, but G48-specific holsters provide ideal retention
Why We Carry It
Radian’s engineering team solved a common compensator problem: how to deliver effective recoil reduction in a micro package that doesn’t require barrel threading or specialized gunsmithing. The result is a 0.47-inch compensator that achieves up to 44% recoil reduction according to Radian’s testing—performance that rivals compensators twice its size. The Bronze finish isn’t just aesthetic; the Radianite coating process creates a surface that resists chemical wear from powder residue and holster friction. We stock this configuration because many of our customers building custom G43X carry guns want performance parts that also reflect personal style, and the Bronze finish pairs exceptionally well with popular slide cuts, controls, and frame modifications.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Bronze finish different from the black version?
The Bronze Radianite coating offers identical corrosion resistance, hardness, and low-friction properties as the black version. The difference is purely aesthetic—Bronze provides a distinctive look that coordinates well with custom builds featuring bronze controls, barrel accents, or slide serrations. Both finishes perform identically under field conditions.
Can I swap this between multiple G43X pistols?
Yes. The INTRA-LOK system installs and removes without requiring permanent fitting to a specific slide. You can move the barrel and compensator between compatible G43X pistols as needed. Keep in mind that each installation should be checked for proper tightness and function-tested before carrying.
Will this work with suppressor-height sights?
The compensator’s low profile works with factory-height sights, and it’s also compatible with suppressor-height sights if your slide is already cut for an optic. The compensator won’t interfere with sight picture at standard pistol distances.
