Radian Weapons AFTERBURNER + RAMJET Fits Glock 43X 9mm Black DLC R0859 UPC 810098420853
Product Description
The Radian Weapons AFTERBURNER + RAMJET (R0859) is a match-grade barrel and micro-compensator combination engineered specifically for the slimline Glock 43X 9mm handgun. Designed to deliver up to a 44% reduction in felt recoil and muzzle rise, this high-performance system tames the snappy recoil impulse of slim subcompact pistols, enabling faster follow-up shots, tighter sight tracking, and enhanced shooting control without compromising weapon reliability or requiring custom slide machining.
Crafted from hardened 416R stainless steel and finished in a high-lubricity, ultra-durable Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) Radianite coating, the Ramjet barrel features match-grade cut rifling that optimizes bullet stabilization and velocity. The low-profile Afterburner compensator installs securely using Radian's patented INTRA-LOK mounting system. Featuring a tapered locking pin interface, INTRA-LOK eliminates the need for threaded barrels—making this setup 50-state legal—while removing failure points associated with set screws, shims, or red thread-locking compounds.
When installed on a Glock 43X slide, the overall length of the slide and compensator matches the exact footprint of a standard Glock 48 slide. This precise geometric alignment allows full compatibility with standard open-ended G43X holsters or duty/EDC G48 holsters. Engineered to run reliably with 124-grain and heavier 9mm ammunition on standard OEM recoil springs, the Radian Afterburner + Ramjet combo delivers flat-shooting performance and combat-grade durability for everyday carry and defensive pistols.
Armorer Bench Notes & Real-World Staging Guidance:
Fitment Matrix: Direct fitment for Glock 43X handguns. Compatible with standard factory OEM recoil spring assemblies and open-ended G43X or standard G48 holsters. Not compatible with double-stack Glock models or standard Glock 43 slides unless verified by Radian.
- Perform a complete firearm safety clearance: remove the magazine, lock the slide rearward, and visually and physically inspect the chamber to verify no live ammunition is present.
- Field strip the pistol by removing the slide assembly, OEM recoil spring, and factory barrel from the slide chassis.
- Insert the Radian Ramjet match-grade barrel into the slide, ensuring proper lockup within the ejection port.
- Slide the Afterburner micro-compensator onto the muzzle end of the Ramjet barrel until flush with the front face of the slide.
- Insert the INTRA-LOK tapered mounting screw into the bottom locking channel and tighten using the included Torx wrench to 15 in-lbs (do not use thread locker).
- Reinstall the factory recoil spring assembly, mount the slide to the frame, and perform a full manual rack and dry-fire function test to ensure complete slide battery lockup.
Key Features
- Up to 44% Recoil Reduction: Directs expanding muzzle gases upward to drastically flatten muzzle rise and speed up target re-acquisition on slimline frames.
- Patented INTRA-LOK Mounting System: Tapered locking screw design securely attaches the compensator without barrel threads, set screws, or thread locker.
- Match-Grade 416R Stainless Steel Barrel: Precision-milled Ramjet barrel features cut rifling for exceptional accuracy and velocity consistency.
- Black Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) Finish: Ultra-hard Radianite DLC coating resists severe friction, carbon fouling, holster wear, and environmental corrosion.
- Glock 48 Holster Footprint Compatibility: Extends a Glock 43X slide profile to match a standard Glock 48, fitting most G48 EDC holsters.
- 50-State Legal Non-Threaded Architecture: Allows shooters in restricted states to run a high-performance compensator legally without a threaded barrel.
