Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Radian Ramjet and Afterburner for the Glock 43X?

The Radian Ramjet is an aftermarket barrel with an integrated compensator, and the Afterburner is a module that replaces the guide rod. Together, they significantly reduce recoil and muzzle flip on the Glock 43X, improving control and speed for follow-up shots.

How does the Radian Ramjet reduce recoil on a Glock 43X?

The integrated compensator on the Ramjet barrel redirects propellant gases upward. This upward force counteracts the natural muzzle rise caused by recoil, making the firearm feel flatter shooting and easier to manage, especially with the typically 'snappy' Glock 43X.

Is the Radian Ramjet legal in all 50 states?

Yes, the Radian Ramjet is 50-state legal. Its compensator attaches using a non-threaded 'Taper Lock' system, which bypasses legal restrictions in certain jurisdictions that prohibit threaded barrels on handguns.

What type of ammunition is recommended with the Radian Ramjet?

While the Ramjet reduces recoil, compensators can sometimes cause cycling issues with very light ammunition due to gas venting. It's often recommended to use standard self-defense loads or higher-pressure ammunition to ensure reliable slide operation.
