Evaluating the Radian Ramjet Compensator

[@philthiac]

It's main selling point is being all 50 states legal, since certain states, mine included, bans threaded barrels on handguns, which would prevent me from threading a comp onto a barrel, in order to make something close to a Roland Special. If I ever moved out of my state, then I would go the common threaded route, but that being said, my Radian combo has been phenomenal on my Glock 19!

[@AhHereWeGo]

Of all the things to ban…. Smh. Can’t wait until the NFA and all other dumb gun laws are gone

[@GTFBITK]

Let me guess... you live in Newsomville.

[@philthiac]

​@GTFBITK Yup, lol, but having Judge Benitez and my neighbors getting fed up with Newsom's bullshit, especially after the Chinese president red carpet treatment, has made living here somewhat bearable, not financially of course, lol!

[@peterreily1490]

Move. No, it’s not hard. I’ve moved states 4 times now when laws got shitty in a state. Yes you can move, it’s if you have the balls to move. I understand some people are poor and prefer to live in states that violate your constitutional rights. Don’t complain about not having threaded barrels if you’re going to keep letting the commies stick it up your tail pipe.

Demand for these things is off the chart and they could easily make money selling them. It says a lot for the integrity of the reviewer that he would honestly advise against a product on the basis of value to the customer. I have noticed the same cost vs value issue related to P365 and P320 accessories; you could buy a whole pistol for the cost of a slide and barrel combo in many cases.

[@alexanderharris539]

I picked one up and put it on my G45. It really shines when firing heaver gr ammo and anything +p. Having both a g17 and this I feel the recoil impulse with the radian is less. My times also show an improvement with the radian. Im a full 3 tenths faster on average shooting a bill drill since running the radian. I had hit a plateau previously. Expensive? Yes. Worth it if you are looking to shave off tenths of seconds, also yes.

[@brianjarrell9203]

There’s some odd sounding things in this review. He says they have malfunctions about every 200 rounds? That’s… quite a lot. I find that hard to believe. Second he says that the gun doesn’t lock back because there’s not as much backpressure. What? The physics of that doesn’t track to me. The direction of the gas exiting the muzzle is diverted. But the back pressure should be higher, if anything. Then he says the slide cycles faster, which tracks, but not if there’s less back pressure. It sounds more like the slide is hypercycling and not locking back because the follower is not pushing up the slide stop quickly enough. Sorry to say, but I doubt this guy knows what he’s talking about.

you in fact do need the guide rod set... at least i did. my glock 19 wouldnt get through a single mag with the stock spring. radian said it was probably my optic slowing the slide down (509T x2) yet others ive seen with the same optic were just fine with the stock spring. radian said i should use the 15lb spring. so, some people dont need it and some do.

Put thousands of rounds through mine on a 19, no issues and love it. Shoots very flat and never had slide lock issues even with a holosun on it. One of the main selling points of this comp is that it does not require a threaded barrel, which is not legal where I live. It uses a pinlock screw system. Also you're paying for the barrel which is a match barrel.

[@jerdog333]

Do you have a Gen 3 or Gen 5? Eveyone with a Gen 5 has zero issues but my buddy and I both have Gen 3s and had to buy the 13lbs recoil spring because we were getting stovepipes with our OEM 15lbs recoil springs

[@muffemod]

People who recommend ammo + training over tangible upgrades fail to understand that ammo + training has diminishing returns for someone who already trains regularly with plenty of ammo on tap. The tangible upgrade is the way to go.

[@joeflowers9084]

I am seeing them go for $299 a few places, so the cost is barely more than a case of ammo. However, for what many did pay ($379), you could even chunk port and back-bore a G19, and that would mean you didn't have the extra length and weight, and it would be as effective. I like comps, especially the CR920P, which turns the Micro 9 into a soft shooter (soft as a G17 or less to me).

[@October19x]

Where they going for 299 at

[@gray_citizen]

@October.409 ABCSportZ had them for $299...snatched one up but they are out of stock now. Keep an eye on their site

[@thefrogking481]

The port and reem will not work as well as the added comp. Look at it from a physics stand point. Gas direction can only be to certain level ( only so much gas can be directed with equal rounds). The added weight will also help in reduction. So, physically speaking, a G19 with a light and RamJet will perform better than a G19 with ports and the same light. You know this to be true, you can't cheat physics. Its not space magic or a revilation. Look at the set ups used by master class shooters, there's a reason they all add weight and a comp.

[@falcon5215]

Thank you for an honest presentation.

@4:42 It's not just NODs that create an issue with comped pistols. Don't assume that, in a real fight, you'll be able to get your high-speed, low-drag tactical range firing stance (First Rule: Look Cool) on before you have to shoot. If you have to shoot from a retention position, you very well may "notice the flash, or care about the flash" when hot gas blows into your own face.

[@BrandonGlock19x]

Although it’s expensive I still purchased it. I’ve seen some non-sponsored reviews, where it had absolutely 0 malfunctions. While shooting it I didn’t feel a MASSIVE difference, but after I watch a video of me shooting it definitely looked flatter. I shot mainly 124 grain through it.

I was just made aware that Radian has changed the design of the ramjet/afternurner. So which version did you get?

[@musician445]

For future testing, it may be worth it to you guys to measure the length of the spring before during and after testing. Especially once it begins malfunctioning. AR15 carbine action springs have a TDP spec length of no less than 10-1/8". When new they should be closer to 11-1/4", thats what my colt ones are. The most recent PSA one I got was about an inch shorter at 10-5/8", so not yet out of spec, but it won't be long before it is. That spec is for round wire only, tubbs flatwire are longer so the spec isn't linear. I say this because I imagine that the "compressor" spring lost some decompressed length during those cycles which makes it weaker. While Radian does say that the compressor is using a flatwire spring, it does not specify the material. They could probably improve the design by upgrading to chrome silicon like sprinco or a different form of stainless like tubbs.

Just sharing this for anyone that's equally as sensitive and can't stand ported barrels, this isn't like that. Ultimately I do like my ramjet g19 setup but when people asking me about it I kind of shrug, it's tough to recommend at $389, it works yeah, but it's not a "need" I suggest it to people that want a comp and want some tacticool, that makes the price easier to stomach, nothign wrong with wanting some tacticool and some function together.

Ok so after you shoot the 1000 rounds then what?? That’s like a few range sessions and afterwards your gun will still have more recoil than if you had a comp on it. That’s like saying I’m gonna put more gas in my car instead of getting a performance suspension

@@alexm5656lmao i had the same thinking perspective

I had one and with the factory guide rod spring it failed spectacularly. Using a glock 45 it did not function reliably at all

My G45 Ramjet experience is different. I shot 500 rounds through it but had a couple of failures doing CQE, where we had to get shoot multiple shots as fast as possible. Consulting with Radian suggested to use their 15lb spring. Now shot at least 5000 rounds during various COF’s and not one failure.

What grain ammo did you use with the 15lb spring? ​@@toddtzm

[@toddtzm]

@@RogueOneScumI only use 124 at the range. Doesn’t matter what brand. It shoots everything.

Well done and 100% agreed. WAY too much $ for what it does. If someone really wants their face blackened with burnt powder, they can do a $60 comp on a threaded barrel for a fraction of the price with likely the same or close to the same results. Does look really good though.

The price on these things are pretty up there. Spend the money on ammo and practice with what you have.
