Description
The Radian AFTERBURNER + RAMJET combo for Glock 19 Gen5 is a complete performance upgrade that pairs a match‑grade 416R stainless steel barrel with a hardened stainless steel micro compensator, both finished in a durable bronze Radianite/DLC‑style coating. Designed specifically for Glock 19 Gen5, 19X, and G45 pistols, this system delivers a significant reduction in felt recoil—up to about 44% with 115‑grain ammunition—without adding excessive length or weight to your setup. The result is faster follow‑up shots, flatter shooting, and tighter groups, all in a package that remains practical for concealed carry and duty holsters.
Radian’s INTRA‑LOK mounting system makes installation straightforward and secure, using a tapered locking screw that interfaces with an angled V‑groove milled into the underside of the barrel. This creates a gas‑sealing interface and perfectly times the compensator without the need for shims, set screws, or threadlocker, and the threadless barrel design means easy removal for cleaning while remaining legal for sale in all 50 states. The AFTERBURNER’s angled front faces aid in smooth holstering and reholstering, making this a truly carry‑focused compensator system rather than just a range toy.
The RAMJET barrel is a match‑grade, cut‑rifled, fluted barrel built from hardened 416R stainless steel to deliver high accuracy, reliability, and excellent heat management. Its fluting reduces weight and improves cooling, while the internal gas‑sealing chamber further enhances the compensator’s effectiveness and helps control carbon buildup. The bronze DLC/Radianite finish provides low friction, high hardness, and outstanding corrosion resistance, so the system can withstand high round counts and harsh conditions without excessive wear or erosion from muzzle blast.
Installed on a Glock 19 Gen5, the AFTERBURNER + RAMJET combo extends the slide to approximately Glock 17 length, allowing compatibility with most G17‑pattern holsters while maintaining a compact grip frame. At only about 0.47 inches of added length from the micro compensator, you get full‑size performance in a configuration that still carries like a mid‑size pistol. The complete system weight is roughly 4.4 oz for the G19 Gen5 configuration, offering a balanced feel that helps manage muzzle rise without making the gun front‑heavy.
