Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main benefits of the Radian Ramjet and Afterburner system for a Glock 19?

The Radian Ramjet and Afterburner system primarily enhances recoil management through its ported barrel and compensator. It also offers a solution for California residents seeking a compensated firearm, as it features a non-threaded barrel design. Additionally, it improves aesthetics and holster compatibility by extending the slide to Glock 17 dimensions.

How does the Radian Ramjet and Afterburner system address California's firearm regulations?

In California, threaded barrels are restricted. The Radian Ramjet and Afterburner system circumvents this by using a barrel with integrated ports and a compensator that attaches via a pin, rather than threads. This allows for a compensated firearm without violating the state's ban on threaded barrels.

Does installing the Radian Ramjet and Afterburner affect holster compatibility for a Glock 19?

Yes, the Radian Ramjet and Afterburner system effectively makes the slide length of a Glock 19 match that of a Glock 17. This means that holsters designed for a Glock 17 should now fit the modified Glock 19, simplifying accessory acquisition.

What is the installation process for the Radian Ramjet and Afterburner on a Glock 19?

The installation involves replacing the stock barrel with the Radian Ramjet barrel, which has integrated ports. The Afterburner compensator then slides onto the barrel and is secured by a single screw on the side, pinning it in place. The process is described as relatively simple.
