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!

Most comprehensive and honest review I have seen so far on the Ramjet. Much appreciated.

Appreciate the honesty and effort put into the evaluation of this product. Well done.

Very solid comprehensive review. You covered the primary questions and concerns that I had on this. Particularly the g17 comparison and the concussion. Much appreciated!

Been waiting for a real review on this one! Thanks!

3:56 nice, succinct answer we all wanted to know. Loved to hear all the other pros/cons. As usual, thanks for the HONEST review. 👍

I have had one on my Shadow Systems MR920 since they first came out and it is amazing. Definitely one of the best out there.

The honesty. I love it. I am now gonna start supporting this channel and your website. =) I almost went to buy it. lol

The transparency and honesty got you a sub and future customer from me!

Outstanding Review... what we have come to expect from TRex!!!! You boys ROCK!!!

Thank you for an honest presentation.

Appreciate the honesty and respect for the company Radiant.

Thanks for the honest review most dont do that

Good to hear from y’all what you thought about the Radian comp 👍🏻 I personally love mine and have not experienced any sort of malfunctions and am surely over 1k rounds.

The honesty is very refreshing

Gas direction is directly related to gas production. The hotter the load the better the comp will work. Its pretty easy to understand.

I’ve been curious about these. Glad to see y’all doing an evaluation on them.

I like the casual "all the states that infringe on your rights lol. The deadpan delivery of that line is what got me

It’s videos like this, which is why I keep coming back to this company.

Thanks for the honesty.

Thanks for making this video. Helps me make some decisions.

Very honest review and recommendation.

Appreciate the honesty! Subscribed!

Ive been liking mine. I never noticed the extra concussion personally. Ill have to pay attention next time. I notice the reduction in recoil. The price is the worst part about it. But after owning multiple handguns and having been shooting for years i don’t mind dropping the money on it. But if you’re starting out oem and case of ammo is good advice

Great review, thank you.

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.

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.

Thanks for honest assessment

Awsome review.

Damn. Didn’t expect that. “Great product. Too expensive. Not selling.” Lol

God damn I love this channel

Love the honesty 👍, good product but company differences

Thank you so much for this video!

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.

great review

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.

Great video… I’ve been tossing this around for a while if I wanted to purchase it.

Been seeing these all over so I had to take a look. Will definitely buy ammo instead. thanks for the honest review.

I love the honesty

Wow, you’re really good at putting the gun in the holster fast! Is that so you can put handcuffs on patriot?

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.

I think comps that don’t require a threaded barrel like this one, are the future. The simpler the comp is the less likely it is to fail so that’s cool. BUT I think the compensator craze is dying out bc ppl are realizing there’s no shortcut to getting good at shooting

Respect the honest opinion.

Just found a g45 with a sro , x300, magwell, +5 base pad , this radian ramjet and after burner , stock barrel and 2 mags for 1400$ 🙌🏻

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.

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).

Thanks, this is helpful.

For the record, I think the OEM recoil assembly on G45/G19/G17 is 17#...not 15#.

In the case of just getting a Glock 17 rather than a radian comp I think is actually kinda valid generally I think retail is now 549 599 around that and there’s always that used option from the local pawn shop think it would be really cool to see a comparison between the radian comp and say a PMM comp on a 17

Does the "cover threaded barrel" option on a G19 sidecar fit a G19 with ramjet? or should one order a G17 sidecar. Thanks!

Amazing video

What ammo did you run? I have found I have to run 124’s to get it to feed on a stock Glock spring.

Nice to see someone being honest.

I just purchased one of these but I was able to get it for $289 shipped direct from Radian. Radian does sell Blems for $329.99. I had a 15% off discount code which is why I got it for less.

Got one on my G45. Shooting next to my 17, I can definitely tell the difference. My dot stays in the glass. I don't notice any more concussion; maybe because I'm shooting outdoors. Shot it next to my PDP Pro full size and can really tell a difference.

Nice video thanks ! One thing bugged me : Brandon says that trex's glocks have a failure every ~400 rounds. Is it supposed to be a "normal" failure rate ? I have two gen5 9mm, 5k rounds through them and litteraly zero failure. Maybe are you issues ammo related instead of guns related ?

Nice work playa! E8K out!

I'd rather buy ammo. Thank you for being thorough in your opinions!

Shouldn't switching down to the 13lb spring resolve the slidelock issue?

Good advice.

I got this for my G19.3 when I lived in California. I agree completely with everything he said. Negligible reliability issues. Looks really good. Not worth $400. Just hold the gun better more better and save $400. But if you can afford it then its pretty neat, fun to have, and will be an interesting piece of firearms history in 20 years.

Do people normally have a lot of malfunctions on regular comps? I’ve never had one.

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

I've had no malfunctions with mine, love it. It's also the only one I can get in ny.

They are little pricey but what a night and day difference on my G45

You guys get malfunctions from stock glocks every 200-400rds??

4:14 a very nice ND that was luckily facing the burm😂

What’s T-Rex arms thoughts on Parker mountain machine ??? Would love to see a video on that or a head to head comparison of the “two top comps” also is radian>pmm or vice versa the ppl wanna know

Sealed the deal im going to buy more ammo. I am keeping my G45 stock other than the sro. Wanted to get a comp but mags and ammo plus more time on the range is more important to me. If i want no recoil i can always shoot my 34.

Machine shop I work at is making some pretty cool stuff for radian right now. The parts aren’t out yet so I can’t say what they are but I will say I’ll be buying a new pistol just to add these parts 🤫

For someone looking to get one of these comps on a 19, would you recommend your 19 holster or your 17 holster?

For that price point, you can definitely buy a CZ P-09/P-10C. Interesting compensator though!

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.

Are you evaluating the Gen 1 or Gen 2 version? The teardrop barrel or the round barrel? They recently changed their design.

Good PSA 👍

So ported 17 or 45 ramjet?

Just a heads up noplace else is it 470 for the conplete kit. Its been 350-400 always.

Besides competition & fun at the range. Wouldn't a comp on a pistol be pretty blinding in a low light to night situation. Which is where you most likely would need it in a self or home defense situation? I'm curious to see what the pistols look like shooting at night with & without the comps? Maybe I'm wrong & it's gonna be a big flash anyways? I would think the comp would make it worse pushing all gasses upwards

Where did you get that shirt? The one where you are in your studio

Thanks for being honest

It looks cool, and half of the being a good shooter is looking cool.

Would it fit on one of your Raptor Holsters? Glock 45 + Ramjet?

I feel the same way about TREX products prices! Save your money and buy ammo!

Finally someone addressing the price point of this freaking thing. You can get a ported barrel and slide for cheaper and just swap that out on whatever your carry setup is. Unreal.

I watched for the glock and I stayed for the grid fleece.

What is the solution when your slide stops locking back? Just change out the recoil spring for a new one?

Its worth every penny. I have no ideal what' this guy is talking about shots the same as a stock 17. Not even close man.

Please balance the audio so the gunshots are not louder than the talking. I hope to see more similar stuff where Brandon breaks down his thoughts, he conveys the information and his experience well.

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.

Comp’s catch lead also which can be a pain in the azz to clean out. It needs a softer recoil spring. It helps with not only rise but also cyclic rate and return/dipping. Single port will never stack up against something like the Herrington multi port..

It’s a cool mod to a g19 but yeah, buy a glock 47 and stick the longer slide on a 19 and you get the same benefit also. If these go less than 300 bucks I might get one down the line

No one is gonna ask what happened at 4:12 ?

May you please review KKM stainless precision barrel?

Maybe when the demand begins to slow for these, they'll offer better dealer pricing? Thanks for your review.

any eta When multicam pouches be back in stock

The increased noise/concussion/discomfort for you and those around is definitely something that is often overlooked. Comps are cool until you have to spend some time hearing/feeling the increased blast. Fine if its a competition pistol where everyone in your class has them. If its just a fun range gun, then you're better off without.

I appreciate the honest review as well I love radian products but there price is for the Gucci shooters not the average joe

Vantage Point Compensator!!! It's effective, durable, reliable and $150 MSRP.

Yeah if they ever come back in stock. Been waiting for months

Hopefully you guys start carrying the agency arms comp
