Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Radian Afterburner barrel improve accuracy on a Glock 19 Gen 6?

In a head-to-head test, the Radian Afterburner compensated and ported barrel on a Glock 19 Gen 6 produced a slightly better shooting group compared to the standard OEM barrel. The speaker subjectively felt a difference and observed a tighter grouping with the aftermarket barrel.

What is the difference between a compensated barrel and an OEM barrel for a Glock 19?

A compensated and ported barrel, like the Radian Afterburner, is designed to redirect gas upwards, reducing muzzle rise and perceived recoil. This can potentially lead to faster follow-up shots and improved accuracy, as observed in a comparison with a standard Glock OEM barrel.
