Radian Weapons Compressor Setup and Breakdown: Quick Guide

[@Shooterready901]

Thank you bro! I was just about to send mine back because I have a gen 3. You have better instructions than radian itself! 💪🏾

[@gh0st_gambino]

Been running the ramjet and afterburner for about a year. Just ordered the compressor today so your vid came in handy. Thanks!

[@grimmysplayground]

Man I just ordered this 2 days ago for my gen 5 19 I can’t wait to get it and feel the difference, im use to shooting the stock but I can imagine this makes a huge difference when shooting. Especially the 13 pound spring, I want to buy the comp next but they told me a week ago that in 5 to 6 months they might have them in stock. Awesome video dude! super easy to adjust the spring weights, now I know how to swap the springs when I get it 😊 thanks.

[@manzanotactical]

@gettacticalsupply has the comp/barrel in stock now

[@grimmysplayground]

@@manzanotactical ooooh man thanks for letting me know

[@sensay8374]

​@@manzanotacticalIf you buy the comp do all 3 springs come with it, or is it just the comp and an 18 pound spring?

[@RegimentJoker]

​@sensay8374 the ramjet/afterburner combo doesn't come with the compressor spring kit. Two separate items that cost more than the glock altogether 😂 I know because I'm a sucker that did it. Trust me, don't get any of this. Keep the gun stock. Biggest waste of money for all the troubleshooting with springs and ammo. 115 grain ammo creates so many fail to feeds. Get a parker mountain or stay stock.

[@manzanotactical]

@@RegimentJoker you had failure to feeds with 115g ammo? Which ammo manufacture?

[@C.P.C3719]

I have a Gen 3 and had trouble with the shells failing to extract and found your video. I left the fat O-ring that came with it and didn't know I had to change it. Hopeully this will fix my issue otherwise I'm gonna be pissed

[@tacktiician4978]

For the Ramjet do i even need a new spring? I thought the stock one works with it

[@manzanotactical]

Stock does work with, this makes it even more tunable depending on ammo types. Highly recommend it

[@DavidGarciajrtx]

@@manzanotacticalwhy do you recommend it? Is it more reliable with the new spring?

[@manzanotactical]

@@DavidGarciajrtx any comp that actually helps with recoil will definitely run smoother with a different recoil assembly

[@DavidGarciajrtx]

@@manzanotactical damn, so I have to buy a spring now 🙄

[@user-uq1kk4mh2n]

Does the afterburner/ramjet still work well with a stock glock spring?

[@manzanotactical]

Yes. Depending on ammo, but I don’t recommend it. As you mess with the gases you need to mess with the springs.

[@shannonmarcantel7993]

I have the Ramjet kit on my ZEV OZ9C and installed the compression kit. Aside from being tool less it wasn’t anything special probably because I already had a SS guide rod. I switched to a tungsten guide rod with a 13 lb spring and its money. Would probably make a bigger difference in a stock Glock.

[@manzanotactical]

Tool less capture is definitely the special part of this guide rod system. But yes anything is better than stock, if you have an aftermarket guide rod and all you’re doing is looking for a guide rod, this won’t be any different than the aftermarket one you hsvr

[@gameshark08]

Do I need to buy this if I’m getting the ramjet afterburner? Or is it an either or type deal meaning if I get one I don’t need the other? I was going to buy both and install them on my Glock 45 but if it isn’t going to work then I’ll just get the ramjet afterburner by itself.

[@manzanotactical]

You can get either or, but paired if where they shine

[@gameshark08]

Depending on your ammo, likely 15 lbs/red

Great tip thx.

[@FreshCoastDon.007]

What spring weight do you recommend with their Radian arms compensator? I guess bullet weight comes into play, but with your setup for example.

[@manzanotactical]

@@FreshCoastDon.007 most setups (99.99999%) are 15lb, red spring

[@ahkwdaglock]

Was it worth it shooting? Does recoil change vs oem

[@manzanotactical]

It’s noticeably different. The $80 cost is worth it to some more than others

[@philipsantarosa7167]

What spring weight works best for a glock 19 gen 3 afterburner ramjet setup? Can I just run with the oem?

[@rhodycars6058]

ammo dependent

[@Talk_Heavy]

Finally took mines to the range on my G19mos and had to rezero my dot which I haven't done in two years.... then had constant FTF and FTE where I had 2 use all my strength to rack it back... I have an 18lbs pure tungsten guide rod and holosun on it and tbh before installing the afterburner and ramjet I never had and issues with my glock and that's about 8k rounds in. Disappointed I have 2 get another spring or completely get rid of the whole setup

[@mediamonk100]

I have also had this problem. Same gun you have but mine was brand new. Im wondering if it just needs to be broken in. I have also had better luck keeping my glock very well oiled and using 124gr fmjs with the red (15lb) spring. Still, i am disappointed in the rj+ab due to these issues-i want something reliable that will shoot any ammo i throw at it-which I can get every time by switching back to Glock stock parts.

[@Talk_Heavy]

@mediamonk100 after 300 rounds it got broken n with the 18lbs spring.. almost 4k rounds later with no issues. I was pissed at 1st but its been good every since my initial bad experience

[@mediamonk100]

@@Talk_Heavywhat ammo are you using? Seems like it hates 115 FMJs.

[@Talk_Heavy]

@mediamonk100 I only use 124 grain but crazy thing is blazer brass 115 grain is when it started workin. Since then I've used 124 grain belom, lawman, sellier & bellot, etc. Literally runs everything even tried 100 rounds of reloads. No issues with about 3700 FMJ and like 300 to 350 JHP thru it since the initial issues.

[@Talk_Heavy]

@mediamonk100 I only used 115 grain by accident but I ran 200 rounds of that no issue also. My initial impression was bad but the last cpl months I have nothing but good things to say about it

[@sensay8374]

If you buy the comp do all 3 springs come with it, or is it just the comp and an 18 pound spring?

[@Mike-ks6ib]

The comp doesn’t come with any springs. It’s a whole different product that you purchase separately. It’s called the Radian Compressor.

[@mediamonk100]

And the Compressor comes with all 3 springs.

Hello! What lbs spring do you recommend for syntech 150g? Thank you!
