Radian Afterburner + Ramjet for Glock 48 9mm

Description

The Radian Afterburner + Ramjet system gives your Glock 48 a serious performance upgrade without the hassle of threaded barrels. This combo pairs a match-grade Ramjet barrel with a compact Afterburner compensator, both engineered to work together for measurable improvements in recoil management and follow-up accuracy. You get the results of a full-size compensator in a micro package that keeps your slimline G48 feeling natural in your hand and manageable in a holster.

How the INTRA-LOK Mounting Works

Instead of threads, the Afterburner uses Radian's INTRA-LOK system, which grabs the barrel with a tapered locking pin. You slide the compensator onto the unthreaded barrel, insert the included Torx driver to tighten the locking screw, and you're done. The system perfectly times itself every time you remove and reinstall it, making field maintenance simple and repeatable. There's no thread locker to mess with, no worrying about timing, and no permanent modifications to your gun.

Build Quality and Materials

Both components are built from hardened stainless steel with a Radianite coating that handles wear and corrosion like a champ. The 416R barrel is fluted to shed heat and keep things light, while the compensator vents gases upward and laterally to flatten out muzzle rise. This combination delivers low friction, high hardness, and genuine durability against muzzle blast erosion. The angled front faces on the compensator won't catch on holster edges either, so your draw stays smooth and predictable.

What to Expect at the Range

You're looking at up to 44% recoil reduction when running 115-grain ammo, though 124-grain and heavier loads work best with this system. The real-world benefit is faster, flatter shooting with quicker sight recovery on follow-ups. The installed combo adds about half an inch to your slide length, making it compatible with most open-ended G48 holsters and some G19 holsters. Standard Glock sights work without any modifications required.
