The Radian Ramjet & Afterburner is a complete barrel and compensator solution engineered to give you serious recoil control without turning your Glock 17 Gen4 into a longer gun. Most people buy this combo because they want noticeably faster follow-up shots and tighter shot groups without sacrificing everyday carry. The match-grade barrel is precision-machined from hardened 416R stainless steel with a fluted design that reduces weight while maintaining structural integrity. The Afterburner compensator works with the ported barrel to manage muzzle rise, and the combination can cut felt recoil by up to 44% when using standard 115-grain ammunition.
What makes this combo different from threaded compensators is the threadless design paired with Radian's INTRA-LOK taper-lock system. The Afterburner simply slides over the barrel and locks down using a tapered screw that threads into a V-groove on the barrel. No permanent modifications, no Loctite or shims required. The installation is straightforward: field strip your pistol, swap in the Ramjet barrel, slide the compensator on, insert the tapered screw, and tighten it to spec. The same simplicity applies to cleaning. You can pop the compensator off whenever you want without any hassle, making maintenance far easier than traditional threaded setups.
Both the barrel and compensator are finished with Radian's proprietary Radianite coating, which provides exceptional hardness and corrosion resistance. This coating handles muzzle blast erosion without breaking down, so you won't see performance degradation over time. Here's a practical bonus: when installed on a G17, the Afterburner + Ramjet combo only extends your slide length by 0.47 inches, which means it stays compatible with standard G34 holsters. You get significant performance gains without needing new carry gear. The compensator's angled front faces also help it slide into holsters smoothly without catching.
The combo ships with everything needed for installation: the Ramjet barrel, Afterburner compensator, the INTRA-LOK tapered locking screw, and a T10 Torx bit. No guessing about hardware or hunting for tools. The barrel includes a loaded chamber indicator and gas-sealing chamber for reliable operation with standard 9mm ammunition.
Not harder at all. After you swap in the Ramjet barrel like a normal barrel change, you slide the Afterburner over the muzzle, line up the compensator with the slide contours, and tighten the tapered locking screw. The whole process takes minutes and requires only the included Torx bit. No Loctite, shims, or special tools beyond what comes in the box.
It depends on your specific holster, but the system is designed to be G34-compatible. Since the Afterburner only adds 0.47 inches to your slide, any holster molded for a Glock 34 (which has a longer slide) will work. Many standard G17 holsters also accommodate it, but we recommend checking your holster's specifications to be sure.
Radian rates the combination at up to 44% recoil reduction when shooting 115-grain ammunition. What this means in practice is that follow-up shots come back on target much faster and muzzle flip is noticeably reduced. People consistently report that the difference in control between the stock barrel and this combo is substantial.
Yes. The combo works with all standard 9mm loads. The 44% recoil reduction figure is based on 115-grain ammo, but heavier ammunition will cycle the system just fine. You may notice slightly different recoil characteristics with different weights, but the system remains reliable and effective across the spectrum.
