Description
The Radian Afterburner + Ramjet combo takes a Glock 19 Gen3 and turns it into a flatter-shooting, faster-cycling pistol without a bunch of extra bulk hanging off the front. It pairs the Afterburner micro compensator with the match-grade, fluted Ramjet barrel, and together they knock felt recoil down by as much as 44% when you're running 115-grain ammo. Less muzzle rise means your sights settle quicker and your follow-up shots land where you want them. The best part is that the whole thing bolts up without threading a barrel, so setup stays clean and simple.
How the INTRA-LOK System Ties It All Together
Instead of threads, Radian uses a taper-lock design where a tapered locking screw seats into a V-groove on the underside of the barrel. That single screw times the compensator perfectly and pulls it down tight against the muzzle end of the Ramjet, no Loctite, shims, or setscrews needed. You drop the barrel into your slide like a factory unit, slide the Afterburner over the front, and snug the screw to 15 inch-pounds with the included Torx bit. When it's time to clean, back the screw out and the comp comes right off.
Built From Steel That Holds Up
The Afterburner compensator is machined from hardened 17-4 stainless, while the Ramjet barrel is cut from hardened 416R stainless. Both wear a black DLC coating that shrugs off muzzle blast erosion and corrosion, so this is a combo you can run hard and not baby. The Ramjet also carries a gas-sealing chamber and a loaded chamber indicator, and the fluting isn't just for looks, it helps shed weight and reduce friction.
At only about .47 inches long, the Afterburner is genuinely compact for what it does, punching well above its size class compared to a lot of full-length comps. Installed on a G19, the combo stretches the slide out to Glock 17 length, which means it slides right into your existing G17 holsters and the angled front faces make reholstering smooth. It's a carry-friendly upgrade that competition folks and everyday range regulars both get a lot out of.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a threaded barrel to run the Radian Afterburner + Ramjet combo?
No, and that's the whole point of this setup. The Ramjet barrel is threadless, and the Afterburner locks to it using the INTRA-LOK taper-lock screw rather than muzzle threads. You get the benefits of a compensator without dealing with a threaded muzzle.
How hard is the Afterburner + Ramjet to install on my Glock 19 Gen3?
It's about as simple as swapping a barrel gets. Field strip the slide, drop the Ramjet in place of your factory barrel, slide the Afterburner over the front, and tighten the tapered screw to 15 inch-pounds with the included Torx bit. When you want to clean it, just back the screw out and the comp lifts off.
Will my Glock 19 still fit in a holster with this combo installed?
Yes. Installing the Afterburner + Ramjet stretches the overall slide length of a G19 out to Glock 17 dimensions, so it drops right into any G17 holster you already own. The angled front faces on the compensator also help it feed back into the holster smoothly.
How much does the Radian combo actually reduce recoil?
Radian reports up to 44% recoil reduction when running 115-grain ammunition. In practice that translates to noticeably less muzzle flip and quicker, flatter follow-up shots. Lighter loads tend to feed the comp the most gas, so 115-grain is where you'll feel it work best.
