Glock 48 – Radian RAMJET + AFTERBURNER Barrel & Comp Combo – 9mm
PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK DETAILS, MODEL FITMENT, SKU/MPN, SLIDE COMPATIBILITY, HOLSTER FIT, AMMO FUNCTION, AND INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS BEFORE PURCHASE.
Radian Weapons built this RAMJET + AFTERBURNER combo for the Glock 48 9mm platform. It uses the same threadless barrel-and-compensator approach, the same INTRA-LOK mounting system, and the same goal: cleaner recoil behavior without the usual threaded-barrel drama.
Available finish options are organized under the product variants. Verified finish options in this batch are Black, Bronze, and Black / Gray. This is the Glock 48 lane. Do not combine it with Glock 43 or Glock 43X unless your exact distributor SKU specifically says otherwise. Same slimline tribe, different sword length.
Variants / Options
- Black
- Bronze
- Black / Gray
Fitment
- Fits Glock 48 9mm pistols when using the correct Radian RAMJET + AFTERBURNER Glock 48 SKU.
- Caliber: 9mm.
- Uses Radian’s threadless barrel and compensator system.
- Designed around the matched RAMJET barrel and AFTERBURNER compensator setup.
- Black SKU reference: R0844 / UPC 810098420709, verify against your exact distributor feed.
Does NOT Fit / Verify First
- Does not fit Glock 43 unless your exact SKU specifically confirms otherwise.
- Does not fit Glock 43X unless your exact SKU specifically confirms otherwise.
- Does not fit standard double-stack Glock models such as G17, G19, G19X, G26, G34, G45, or G47.
- Does not fit large-frame Glock models such as G20, G21, G29, G30, G40, or G41.
- Do not assume compatibility with aftermarket slides, altered slide noses, non-OEM slide dimensions, custom recoil systems, or non-standard lockup geometry without verifying clearance.
- Not a threaded barrel and not intended for suppressor mounting.
- Holster fit must be verified. The comp changes the muzzle profile, and “close enough” holster logic is how gear drawers become graveyards.
What It Does
The RAMJET barrel and AFTERBURNER compensator work together to reduce muzzle rise and improve control during faster strings of fire. Radian’s INTRA-LOK system uses the taper-lock principle, with a tapered locking screw interfacing with an angled V-groove on the underside of the barrel to time and secure the compensator without traditional muzzle threads.
Why It’s Worth It
The Glock 48 already carries well. This setup helps it run flatter without making the front end look like it owes rent. The threadless design keeps the package cleaner than a traditional threaded barrel and comp, while the angled front faces on the AFTERBURNER help make holstering less obnoxious.

Tools Needed
Use the included hardware and follow Radian’s installation instructions. Basic bench tools may be needed depending on the exact package. Do not improvise with the wrong tool like a man trying to lose a fight with a set screw.
Install Notes
Install correctly, verify the compensator is locked and timed properly, and function-test the pistol before trusting it for carry or serious use. Compensated pistols can be more ammo- and spring-sensitive than stock setups, so test with the actual ammunition you plan to use.
Verify Before You Buy
Verify your exact pistol model, exact Radian SKU/MPN, slide compatibility, holster compatibility, and finish selection before ordering. If your supplier confirms Glock 48-only, do not list Glock 43 or 43X. Match the box, not the dream.
