Radian AFTERBURNER RAMJET Glock 19 Gen 6

Description

Radian AFTERBURNER RAMJET Glock 19 Gen 6

For carry-focused shooters running Glock’s latest platform, the Radian AFTERBURNER RAMJET Glock 19 Gen 6 delivers meaningful recoil reduction without the compromises that come with traditional threaded compensator systems.

Radian engineered this system specifically around Gen 6 Glock geometry — because Gen 5 components are not compatible and Radian explicitly warns against installing them in a Gen 6 pistol. The RAMJET barrel uses 416R stainless steel with a fluted profile, match-grade bore, gas-sealing chamber, and loaded chamber indicator notch. Additionally, the AFTERBURNER micro-compensator combines hardened stainless steel construction with Radian’s Radianite coating — a DLC-class treatment that provides low friction, high hardness, and corrosion resistance against sustained muzzle blast exposure.

The INTRA-LOK mounting system is what separates this setup from everything else in the compensator category. Instead of threads, a tapered locking screw engages an angled V-groove cut into the underside of the RAMJET barrel, locking the AFTERBURNER down onto the muzzle profile with precision timing. Therefore, the compensator aligns the same way every single time — no thread timing, no secondary locking hardware, and no tools beyond the included TORX bit to remove it for cleaning. Because field-stripping the barrel already pulls the compensator with it, maintenance stays exactly as straightforward as a standard field strip.

Why This Product Stands Out

Traditionally, compensators for carry pistols force a choice between recoil management and holster compatibility. The AFTERBURNER solves that problem by adding only 0.47″ of length — which, when placed on a G19, brings the overall slide length to G17 spec. As a result, the entire catalog of Glock 17 holsters works with this setup without modification or custom cuts. For a shooter already running a Safariland, Tier 1, or Tenicor holster for a G17, the transition is seamless.

Beyond that, the performance numbers back it up. Radian rates the AFTERBURNER + RAMJET combination at up to 44% recoil reduction with 115gr ammunition — a figure that outperforms most full-size compensators on the market, even though the AFTERBURNER adds less than half an inch. Furthermore, all of this performance comes without a threaded barrel setup that can create complications in certain jurisdictions, since the system relies entirely on the INTRA-LOK taper-lock mount instead.

The INTRA-LOK system also addresses the most common operational concern with compensators in a carry context: installation reliability. Because the taper-lock principle aligns the compensator the same way every time, the device stays on-time through high-volume range sessions without walking. Moreover, the threadless design means the compensator comes off with the barrel during a standard field strip — no separate removal step, no extra tools, and no process changes from how you already clean your G19.

Ideal Use Cases

• Concealed carry with Glock 19 Gen 6 or Glock 45 Gen 6
• Competition shooting on Gen 6 Glock platforms
• Duty/range use requiring consistent recoil management with standard holster compatibility
• Shooters transitioning from G17 holster setups to a G19 frame

 

Technical Specifications

Compatibility Information

Host Pistol Compatibility Radian built this system exclusively for the Glock 19 Gen 6 and Glock 45 Gen 6. Specifically, Gen 5 AFTERBURNER + RAMJET components do not interchange with Gen 6 pistols and Radian warns against substituting them. Additionally, compatibility with aftermarket Gen 6 slides may vary — contact Radian Weapons directly at support@radianweapons.com to confirm fitment before installation.

Holster Compatibility When installed on a Glock 19 Gen 6, the AFTERBURNER + RAMJET extends the slide length to G17 dimensions. As a result, all standard Glock 17 holsters fit the installed setup without modification. However, holsters cut specifically for the G19 barrel profile without compensator clearance will not fit — a G17-spec holster is required.
