Why is this Glock 19 Radian Afterburner & Ramjet Build so revolutionary?

[@gmadgengarage]

I also run the afterburner on my Gen 5 Glock 19 and I love it. It works really well.

[@CatastrophicMalfunction]

I was amazed the first time I shot it

[@gmadgengarage]

@@CatastrophicMalfunction same! It’s I wis they made it for the g43x. Mine is snappy as hell compared to my 19.

[@CatastrophicMalfunction]

@@gmadgengarage almost all my guns have some sort of compensation on them. If it’s reliable and it gives me an advantage, why not use it.

[@gmadgengarage]

@@CatastrophicMalfunction I agree 100%. I’ve recently jumped on the compensator train and man do I love it. I have the radian afterburner on my edc gen5 19 mos and a killer Innovations velocity comp on my 19x. They both compliment my guns so well. I’m think king of running a third g19 build with either the Strike industries comp or the Arc Divisions compensated barrel and slide combo.

[@CatastrophicMalfunction]

@@gmadgengarage the only thing you gotta be careful of with some comps is that some of them require you to tune them using different spring weights to run reliably

I cannot justify $400 for this because I just don't see it there. Im glad you like it and that it's working for you. Thanks for the video.

[@CatastrophicMalfunction]

It’s the only thing I have because I live in NY where you can’t have a threaded barrel for 99% of the other compensators.

[@VenomousKills]

My boss has one on his g45 and I shot it side by side in our range and honestly it’s not worth the price tag imo but it does do something for sure, but nothing crazy.

[@GideonShofar37]

its not worth the money, but if you have it and want to try go ahead

[@RonnieTallud]

[@Killa91115]

Stock frame with grip tape, 👌. Respect brother. Sus on the slide cut for a Holosun... but if it works, it works.

[@ronnguyen8287]

Why is it sus? Cutting the slide for your exact setup is the best way

[@RealSB]

@@ronnguyen8287 Just the Holosun sus, not the fine craftsmanship of the slide work. I know, I know, they are very popular now, but I'm a Trijicon mark.

[@RealSB]

@@CatastrophicMalfunction Made in China for a discount price is sus. I know they are popular with Guntubers and tons of people use them everyday but for me, I'll go with Trijicon. Things work until they don't, things are popular until their not. Just my opinion.

[@willr4880]

Solid setup

[@jwaffle42]

What part of the video does he talk about his experience shooting the gun?

[@eduardogallardo9474]

Special Forces use the G19 because they had to justify a smaller profile pistol other than the Sig M17 or M18, among other reasons/justifications...or so I've read.

[@eduardogallardo9474]

We all know they really didn't want the Sigs😂😂

[@BrandensOutdoorChannel]

The EPS is NOT an RMR footprint. It's a 407/507k footprint.

[@CatastrophicMalfunction]

It comes with an adapter plate to fit an RMR footprint

[@cockblock1231]

There’s and eps and an eps carry ones smaller

[@fieldmalik]

Depends on which eps

[@eat_ham876]

The EPS looks great directly milled. I love that you can use stock-height sights with it. What moa dot do you have on yours? I'm trying to decide between the 2 moa and 6 moa dot but my lgs only had the 2 moa version for me to look at.

[@CatastrophicMalfunction]

I’m running the 6 MOA dot on mine. I love how mine has been so far. The shake awake feature is awesome. When I first started buying optics, I was unwilling to buy non-American products. But Holosun definitely has some awesome options now that are reliable and much cheaper than most of the American pistol optics.

[@eat_ham876]

@@CatastrophicMalfunction 100%. I can't see myself buying trijicon's new closed emitter dot when the eps is only half the cost with more features and similar performance. Not to mention how reliable Holosun has proven to be based on Sage Dynamic's reviews. I definitely think a 6 moa dot is better than a 2 moa dot for self-defense distance but I'm not sure how bad the bloom would be with my astigmatism.

[@CatastrophicMalfunction]

@@eat_ham876 I also have an astigmatism and Holosun dots are actually really nice. I can actually see a dot rather than a star.

[@eat_ham876]

@@CatastrophicMalfunction That's super helpful to know. I'll try one out soon.👍

[@ronnguyen8287]

Deff go with 2 moa bro. I have both the 407k and eps MRS. 6 moa is good for close up but you want a smaller dot for longer shots. If your worried its too small it can get bright enough so it looks bigger than it actually is. Thank me later 👍

[@petervu9773]

hoping the gen 3 will run good with factory RSS !

[@CatastrophicMalfunction]

I never had any issues with my stock RSS. I just wanted to tune it to make it perfect. With the radian, you really don’t need to have their recoil assembly in my experience.

[@jackinyoubaby]

Get the DPM systems soft captured recoil spring to match the radian. You'll thank me later.

[@joepg6561]

What about the tungsten guide rod for Glock? Would it work?

[@Osprey1994]

Connecticut has a similar problem. There are other options out there though. The only reason the Radian is a big deal, is because it's on one of the most popular guns of all time.

[@CatastrophicMalfunction]

Oh really? Do you know what they’re called?

[@Frank419]

You mentioned wear on the front of your Glock. Is that from the compensator?

[@CatastrophicMalfunction]

I misspoke. I meant wear on the top of the barrel near the chamber where the slide rubs on it. It happens with every Glock. Nothing abnormal.

[@Frank419]

@@CatastrophicMalfunctionthanks for clarifying.

[@daahsri]

God damn, what a complicated explanation for everything, maybe make some notes before a video, it’s a such a simple system, so much over explaining

[@CatastrophicMalfunction]

Thanks for the criticism

[@modernmonster8252]

What was the “lot of wear on the front of my gun”? Is that from the ramjet?

[@CatastrophicMalfunction]

I am referring to the wear on the barrel where it makes contact with the slide near the chamber. Every Glock barrel gets worn in that same area. Nothing to be concerned about.

[@limasierraone7107]

The Glock 19 was adopted by special operations because they couldn't adopt another full size pistol do to the fact they already had the Baretta in service and I guess the brass thought one full size gun was enough. The glock 19 was a compromise.

[@CatastrophicMalfunction]

I guess a G19 is also a good option for low vis operations too

[@2015roel]

My holusan battery tray came out flying while shooting.

[@CatastrophicMalfunction]

Which Holosun was it?

[@9voltbattery]

i have my battery tray screw in with loctite

[@CatastrophicMalfunction]

@@9voltbattery almost everything with screws on my guns has blue loctite on it

[@Aghostnrealife]

VC3 works better than blue loctite. It’s designed to remain tight with vibration but still allows you to remove the screw when needed.

[@FreedomBuddy-im7ww]

If you're going China with the Holosun EPS, why not also get much more bang for the buck going with Olight for the light? Have a 1,500 lumen Valkrie PL-Pro found on sale from GovX for less than a bill.

[@CatastrophicMalfunction]

I prefer not to use Chinese stuff but Holosun has been pretty good. Lots of law enforcement are using Holosun. I’m sure there are law enforcement using Olight but the majority of them are using Streamlight and Surefire.

[@abc4781]

Lol people don't buy Holosuns for tye price it's because they're excellent products.

I would ask the manufacturer of the slide. Or if you want to just send it, stick with a Gen 3. There’s probably gonna be a bit of an ugly gap but you’re better off buying the right thing the first time.

Don’t post a comment if you’re gonna make dumb assumptions about my skill just because I use a compensator. Why would I not use something that gives me an advantage and doesn’t compromise reliability of the firearm?

[@SergioGarcia-lu5yo]

That's your opinion. A longer light looks dope, and it gives you a better shooting experience

[@CASHCCW]

The light isn’t there for looks genius. it’s a tool on a weapon to help make it more effective. Maybe if you were a bit brighter you’d know a longer light helps keep a handgun in battery if you ever need to press it against somebody/something. Do better research and just keep your mouth shut before you make yourself sound like a complete clown again couch operator

[@zacharybarker7646]

So I have shot a gen 4 g19 with the finger grooves and they suck that top notch lands right in the middle of my finger, I have seen some people Dremal out some of the trigger guard to help with that issue.

[@zacharybarker7646]

A light sticking out past isn't a bad thing especially if you are in a cqb situation it keeps the slide from coming out of battery when it's pushed up against something and the comp will help keep the light clean and all the bells and whistles just help with faster follow up shots and to get back on target faster.

[@4hyrule247]

would this specific comp be reliable to conceal carry? in the sense that I know it will work 100% if i needed to use in self defense.

[@CatastrophicMalfunction]

Other compensators on the market generally require you to change recoil springs to make it run reliably. The Radian Afterburner and Ramjet system was designed to be used with stock parts and basically any kind of ammo you put through it. I trust it and use it for carry purposes, and I would use it for duty use as well if I had the option in an LE or Military setting.

[@texasyall948]

A lot of wear on the gun?…

[@CatastrophicMalfunction]

I misspoke. I was referring to the normal wear near the chamber where the slide makes contact with it. Nothing unusual.
