Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main benefits of the Radian Ramjet Afterburner for the Glock 43X?

The Radian Ramjet Afterburner significantly reduces felt recoil and muzzle rise, making the Glock 43X feel more like a full-size pistol. It also offers improved accuracy and a 50-state legal design that doesn't require a threaded barrel.

How does the Radian Magwell attach to the Glock 43X, and why is it unique?

The Radian Magwell uses a unique 'planer lock' system with a taper screw that applies outward pressure to the grip's inner valley, securing it firmly without compromising magazine drops. This is more robust than systems using rubber grommets.

What ammunition types were tested with the Radian Ramjet Afterburner on the Glock 43X?

The Radian Ramjet Afterburner was tested with 115, 124, and 147-grain ammunition, including self-defense loads. It is designed to function reliably with quality factory ammunition, even with a slight limp-wrist.

Are there any magazine compatibility issues with the Radian Magwell for the Glock 43X?

Factory Glock 43X magazines and Shield Arms S15 Gen 1 and Gen 3 magazines work. A fix for Shield Arms S15 Gen 2 magazines is expected soon via a base plate release. Palmetto State Armory Micro Dagger mags did not work due to their base plate design.
