The Radian Afterburner + Ramjet for Glock 17 Gen5 is built around one core idea: cut recoil without cutting into your concealed carry setup. This combo delivers real performance without the bulk. The fluted Ramjet barrel is cut from hardened 416R stainless steel and finished with a Radianite coating that resists corrosion and wear from repeated shots. The Afterburner compensator, machined from hardened 17-4 stainless steel and treated with the same protective coating, works in lockstep with the barrel to manage muzzle rise and felt recoil.
Instead of threads that some areas restrict, Radian engineered this as a threadless system using their INTRA-LOK taper-lock mount. You slide the compensator onto the barrel, insert the locking screw into the V-groove underneath, and tighten. No shims, no Loctite, no guesswork. The screw stays clean and protected from carbon, so removing it for cleaning is always straightforward even after heavy use. Installation and removal take just a few minutes and require nothing more than basic field stripping.
When installed on a Glock 17 Gen5, this combo adds only 0.47 inches to slide length, keeping you compatible with G34 holsters you might already own. The angled front face of the Afterburner aids in smooth holstering and won't snag when drawing from a carry holster. The fluted barrel profile isn't just for looks either—it reduces weight slightly while maintaining rigidity, and helps dissipate heat during extended shooting sessions. The system is engineered for 124-grain and heavier 9mm ammunition, and users report the recoil reduction remains significant across the ammunition spectrum.
Both components are built from quality stainless steel and coated with Radianite for hardness and corrosion resistance. This combination resists erosion from muzzle blasts and requires no special maintenance beyond what you'd do with a stock barrel. The hardened materials and protective finish mean you won't see premature wear even with thousands of rounds through the system.
Yes. Independent reviews and user feedback consistently confirm significant recoil reduction in the 30-44% range depending on ammunition weight. The 44% figure is specific to 115-grain loads, though users report substantial improvement with heavier 124-grain and above ammunition as well. The reduction translates into noticeably faster follow-up shots and tighter groupings during rapid fire.
Installation takes just minutes. You field strip your Glock, swap out the factory barrel for the Ramjet, slide the Afterburner compensator over it, and lock it down with the tapered screw. No solvents, shims, or thread locker needed. Removal for cleaning is equally straightforward since the screw stays protected from carbon buildup.
If you're carrying a Glock 17 Gen5, or if you own G34 holsters, you're covered. The combo adds only 0.47 inches to slide length, maintaining compatibility with most standard Glock 17 and G34 holsters. The angled front of the Afterburner is also designed to ease holstering without snagging.
The Afterburner + Ramjet is engineered specifically for 124-grain and heavier 9mm ammunition. This is the ammunition weight where the system performs optimally and the design really shines. Lighter loads like 115-grain still work well but may produce different recoil characteristics than heavier options.
