Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Radian Ramjet and Afterburner compensator affect the Glock 43x's recoil?

The Radian Ramjet barrel and Afterburner compensator system significantly reduces felt recoil and muzzle flip on the Glock 43x. This modification makes the sub-compact pistol shoot much flatter, improving control and allowing for faster follow-up shots compared to a stock firearm.

What are the capacity options for the Glock 43x, and are there reliability concerns?

The standard Glock 43x comes with 10-round OEM magazines. While aftermarket 15-round magazines from brands like PSA and Shield Arms are available, the presenter has experienced reliability issues with them and recommends sticking to OEM 10-rounders for concealed carry due to proven dependability.

How does the modified Glock 43x compare in size to other Glock models?

Even with the Radian Ramjet/Afterburner compensator, the modified Glock 43x remains shorter than a Glock 48 and considerably slimmer than a Glock 19. This maintains its advantage for concealed carry despite the added components.

What common issues might arise with aftermarket Glock 43x upgrades?

A potential issue highlighted is with aftermarket triggers, such as the Johnny Glocks 4311, where components like the trigger safety pin might dislodge. Using a small amount of Loctite on set screws can help prevent such problems, ensuring the trigger functions reliably.
