G4 Slide Comp: Strike Industries "No Threaded Barrels" Review

This review covers the Radian Ramjet barrel and Afterburner compensator system for Glock 19 pistols. The system aims to significantly reduce recoil, with claims of up to 44% reduction. Installation involves swapping the factory barrel for the Ramjet and then attaching the Afterburner compensator via an interlocking mechanism and a set screw. While effective at recoil mitigation, a potential drawback noted is occasional slide lock-back issues, particularly with lighter ammunition, which might require a softer recoil spring for optimal performance.

This video provides an overview of the Radian Ramjet and Afterburner system for the Glock 19 Gen 4. It highlights how the system effectively extends the slide length to that of a Glock 17 while retaining the 19 frame, and discusses its benefits for recoil management and California compliance due to its non-threaded barrel design. The installation process and aesthetic improvements over traditional threaded barrel compensator setups are also detailed.

This guide details the installation of the Tyrant CNC T-Comp compensator on compatible Glock models. The process emphasizes a unique O-ring and proprietary nut system, eliminating the need for Loctite or manual timing. The video, presented by Tactical Toolbox, highlights the importance of proper fitment with aftermarket barrels and reliable cycling with various ammunition types.

This video tests the fit and retention of various Glock 19 clones and similar firearms in a Glock 19 holster. While a standard Glock 19 fits perfectly, some clones like the Daria Arms DWI 9 do not fit securely. The Palmetto State Armory Dagger fits well, offering a quick draw, though not as firm as a factory Glock. The Browning High Power is shown to be incompatible.

This guide covers the installation and operation of the Streamlight TLR-8 light and laser combo on a Glock 19 Gen 4. It details the mounting process using a screw, the importance of Loctite for vibration, and how to adjust the laser. The guide also explains the various operational modes, including single-paddle activation for light/laser, dual-paddle activation for combined light and laser, and a strobe function activated by double-tapping the paddle.

This guide details the installation of common aftermarket upgrades for a Glock 19 Gen 4, including a Ramjet Afterburner, Burris FastFire red dot, magwell, and Taran Tactical magazine extensions. The speaker, an experienced hobbyist, highlights the performance benefits and aesthetic preferences associated with these modifications, particularly favoring the Gen 4's matte finish.

It emphasizes planning, selecting quality critical components like barrels and BCGs, and using the correct tools for assembly. Key takeaways include avoiding overspending on lowers, prioritizing function over aesthetics, and ensuring proper barrel installation with torque and headspace checks.

This guide provides a comprehensive approach to selecting your first handgun, emphasizing purpose, type, size, caliber, and ergonomics. It highlights the importance of testing firearms at a range before purchase and offers top recommendations for new owners. Instruction is delivered with practical, experience-driven insights.

This video provides a comprehensive guide to essential AR-15 upgrades under $100, focusing on improving reliability, ergonomics, and performance. Key recommendations include indexing the cam pin, upgrading to better bolts or extractor kits, installing drop-in triggers, and enhancing grip and stock options from brands like B5 Systems and Magpul. The host also covers foregrips, ambi controls, muzzle devices, and essential maintenance items like White Lithium Grease.

This review details the CMMG MK57 AR-15 platform chambered in 5.7x28mm, highlighting its innovative Radial Delay Blowback system. The host, Mr. GunsnGear, an experienced firearm builder, explains how this system reduces recoil and muzzle rise. Despite the technical advantages and smooth operation, the review concludes that the high cost and limited availability of 5.7x28mm ammunition make this otherwise impressive firearm a difficult purchase for most consumers.
