I was stoked to get my hands on Radian's new Afterburner barrel and Ramjet micro compensator, as well as their new guide rod and spring kit, and in this video I provide a review and some shooting footage. Having my wife and Dad also give their feedback was really beneficial.

Dad’s a revolver guy! Almost busted that thumb. Also, apparently dad’s a pool guy, too! Haha. Plus +10 for the Jandy shirt; that’s what my pool equipment is. Love how it runs as compared to my Pentair equipment we had at our old house.

@faithkillsfear Год назад

Hahaha! Good catch! He is a pool builder/contractor! And I agree about the Jandy equipment 💯

@charles17508 Год назад

Lol you can't get those but yeah right on only shills can get them .

@ChristopherPinter-vh1ci 5 месяцев назад

Can’t stress this enough, with the afterburner/ramjet system be sure to run the 15# spring for excellent results

@jacobfejeran4313 2 месяца назад

alright man, i'm sold. That smile on your face after popping off your first few rounds of the radian compensator says it all! thanks! and great review!

@GunsmithBeard Год назад

13:49 Your dad is a revolver shooter.... with that thumb wrap grip! You wife did great shooting, good stance, good grip! Nice work! 15:33

Yeah he is! Hahaha

Thank you for the review. Can’t wait to get mine. I ordered from Radian.

I am very curious on how this compares to the Arc Division slide as far as accuracy and recoil reduction.

@brokeboyMycology Год назад

Ran mine in gen 3 Glock I live Cali the 13ld spring on there compressor did the trick for me had issues with stock spring and there other springs from the kits but the 13 ran with only one stove pipe

@user-yv5eo9wl4d Месяц назад

Great review! What are you running for a magwell?

@robertj1223 Год назад

I noticed your slide doesn’t engage the release after your last round sometimes, I was considering buying a shadow systems is this a reoccurring issue with that product?

@everydayflex1444 Год назад

Been waiting for some reviews is this

@victorortega2718 9 месяцев назад

So i have the mr920 elite. Been thinking about getting the ramjet combo but did you have to switch ammo? And do you have to change your spring rod ? Also why do your guns not stay racked back after the last round ?

@MagicianMarcus Год назад

Definitely works!!! It makes the gun a flat shooter. Really easy to track your red dot if you use one.

@mikek4163 Год назад

Great review, thank you! I also noticed the slide wasn't locking back on the last round. Kagwerks makes a raised slide stop to combat that high grip issue. Although it may cause slight marring on the slide unfortunately.

@faithkillsfear Год назад

Thank you! I’ve seen those and I’ve thought about getting one. I didn’t know they would scuff up the slide though. Thank you.

@darthskywalker2467 10 месяцев назад

will it work well with the oem SS springs ? Or do you have to get the radian springs ?

@gpw_ap2832 Год назад

What was the round count on the first test of the barrel and comp?

@i0nm4n23 Год назад

great video really enjoyed it! one question, was this a gen 3 or gen 4 afterburner/ramjet? i am also a big fan of shadow systems and i believe their pistols are compatible with gen 3/4 glock barrels but wasnt sure. thanks!

@faithkillsfear Год назад

The MR918 is a gen 4 frame and slide so I went with the Gen 4 afterburner and it worked perfectly

@locophoto6881 Год назад

For Glock 19 barrels....Gen 3, 4, and 5 are interchangeable....it's Glock 17 barrels that varies in compatibility

@xepher3593 Год назад

How does it compare to the pmm comp?

@2Amend4Life 8 месяцев назад

I put one on my Shadow Systems XR920. Have about 500 rounds through the combination. It is everything they say it is. Target stays in red dot window. Hard to shoot anything else after you shot this setup. 5 stars. Highly recommend.

@tacticalfirearms45 Год назад

Really help with recoil? A lot of companies claim that but dosent always do a whole lot. This one does seem like a winner tho!

@kompletevisionentertainmen371 Год назад

Did you buy the gen 3 or gen 4 model of the ramjet? I am planning on getting a shadow systems pistol as well.

@faithkillsfear Год назад

Gen 4. It works perfectly

@TT-ch2pz Год назад

Did you shoot the stock 918 spring with the comp installed? Also, was this the Gen 4 kit?

@faithkillsfear Год назад

I did not test the factory 918 spring. Although I really wish I had. A lot of people have asked. When I make it back to the range I will test it out. Yes, this was the Gen 4 kit.

@HardcoreNacho Год назад

Your flashlight seems pretty close to coming out at the bottom. Is your gun sliding in farther than it normally does? I have a G19 holster and hoping mine won’t stick out as far when I install the compensator. Currently I have about half an inch so hoping to be less than 1/2 inch sticking out. If this is how all your holsters are you should look at a wedge if you want to keep the 19 holster. It will bump out the bottom giving you room and comfort.

@faithkillsfear Год назад

The light is stopped at the bottom by the kydex. It isn’t sticking out any further than usual except for the compensator obviously. I’ve tried a wedge and found them super uncomfortable. But everyone is different. If you have a half inch it shouldn’t stick out far at all

@reneramdeen613 Год назад

What Gen did you purchase to fit the Shadow Systems MR918?

@faithkillsfear Год назад

I went with the Gen4

@fresh1117 Год назад

Off-topic but who did your cerakote job?

@Mroderick777 Год назад

Did you have to reZero your red dot with the radian barrel/comp?

@faithkillsfear Год назад

I did not notice a change. But I was only shooting 7-10 yards away for most of the shooting

@chambersoveternalsuffering8065 Год назад

Do you remember what gen radiant afterburner set you got for that ? I have an mr920 as well

@faithkillsfear Год назад

I got the Gen 4 kit.

@randomstuff2985 Год назад

You should try some of that vibratite v3 thread locker on that tapered screw. It works really well for rmr screws too bc it doesn’t fully lock it it’s for vibrations. Also I watched Taran tacticals video and he did not mention any thread locker on that screw. Plus the vibratite is easy to get off. No heat needed. Awesome video btw man. Love the gun 👍

@faithkillsfear Год назад

Yeah. I considered not using any but wanted to make sure it stayed put for our range session. I opted for 243 blue so I would be able to remove it as needed. It was a trade off. I probably would’ve used rocketset if I knew it wasn’t coming off.

@randomstuff2985 Год назад

@@faithkillsfear yea man check out the vibratite v3. It’s awesome. Anyway buddy nice quality video and good information. I’m digging the channel man. Keep it up 👍

@faithkillsfear Год назад

@@randomstuff2985 thank you! I’ll look into the vibratite v3 for sure

@Slapyasilly Год назад

Do you think it would work with a zaffari precision glock 19 slide ? If so would it work well with a slide with side window cuts and top raptor cuts ?

@faithkillsfear Год назад

My zaffiri slide is a Gen 3 but I use a little adapter plate to use it on the gen4 shadow systems frame. When I get a chance, I will test fit it on the zaffiri slide and lyk. If you bought the correct generation afterburner, I don’t see why it wouldn’t work.

@Slapyasilly Год назад

@@faithkillsfear that would be awesome To know before I take the jump to buy it ! my Glock 19 slide is a gen 3 too since I have a gen3 19

@atran303able Год назад

@JohnDoe-kt9em Год назад

i have the mr920, waiting for the comp to come in. do you need a reduced power spring to get it to lock back? i know this problem happens with some compensators, but its radian i dont expect them to have reliability issues.

@faithkillsfear Год назад

I realized after I posted this video I failed to talk about the ammo I used or about my experience with the spring rates etc. I plan to do a short update video talking about it all. I will say when I was shooting it, I experienced zero issues with all three different spring rates. My wife did have issues with the slide not locking forward with the two lightest springs, but not with the heaviest spring. I attribute this to the difference in her grip strength and recoil management experience.

@JohnDoe-kt9em Год назад

@@faithkillsfear thanks man 👍. Ive been reading reddit comments saying radian knows their comp has reliability issues but it's the internet. Had to hear from someone with both the same gun and comp lol

@faithkillsfear Год назад

@@JohnDoe-kt9em the updated video is live 🤙🏼

@hayatojohnson3440 Год назад

What comp did you go with? And I have a mr920, shadow system won’t tell me what barrel is compatible with their product because it will void warranty. I’m interested in the killer innovations velocity barrel and comp I believe it’s a gen3 and am having a hard time finding any information to see if this will work

@JohnDoe-kt9em Год назад

@@hayatojohnson3440 the radian afterburner and ramjet is a comp and barrel system. The radian comp will only fit on the radian barrel cuz it's proprietary. I used the gen 4 version. Plug and play. Everything works fine for me

@cd4playa1245 Год назад

You have to figure too that the non comped barrel had a light that would have soaked up a little bit of the recoil. Meanwhile the comped barrel did not have a light, so that demonstrates further how effective this comp design is.

@faithkillsfear Год назад

Exactly. It is very effective

@patriotfromthenoket6141 Год назад

That slide bite on your dads support hand. Please fix his grip lol. Great review.

@CooterMolot Год назад

@AIRBORNE916 Год назад

Awesome review! Did you try it with the stock spring?

@faithkillsfear Год назад

Thank you! No I didn’t. But I did try all three spring weights. I had zero malfunctions. But my wife was having the slide not lock back forward (less grip strength) so I swapped in the heaviest spring and it fixed the issue.

@Drixels269 Год назад

Is this gonna fit in any Shadow Foundation System?

@faithkillsfear Год назад

It fits most glock 19/clones. So if the slide is the same size and general g19 slide than it should work.

@charliebrownsd Год назад

Great to see different levels of shooters just blasting some rounds with both setups. You have "Gucci" Glock type pistols that have a lot of mods that normal folks have. What type of ammo were you shooting? Did adding the Loctite make disassembly more difficult? Great looking pistols!

@faithkillsfear Год назад

Thank you! I just uploaded another “part 2” video this morning which discusses the ammo I used etc. I havnt taken the comp off yet, but since it is only blue locktite and I got it pretty hot, I don’t anticipate it being too difficult to remove. I will try and lyk once I try it.

haven't read all the comments but have to compared the ported Zaffiri barrel with the ramjet?
