**Radian Afterburner Micro-Compensator and Ramjet Ported Barrel for Glock 45 in Radianite Bronze**

When it comes to high-performance upgrades for Glock pistols, the **Radian Afterburner Micro-Compensator** and **Ramjet Ported Barrel** setup is a solid contender. Known for its effective recoil reduction and precision enhancements, this combo now comes in the eye-catching **Radianite Bronze** finish for the Glock 45. Having already used this setup on my Glock 19 with impressive results, I’m eager to see how it performs on the Glock 45.

### Background and Features

The Afterburner and Ramjet take a unique approach, especially when compared to traditional threaded compensators. The **Afterburner’s threadless design** makes installation and removal straightforward, ensuring it stays securely in place without the need for constant re-tightening. Additionally, this design is **legal in all 50 states**, making it an option for those in areas with stricter firearm regulations.

In terms of build, both the **Afterburner compensator** and **Ramjet barrel** are engineered for durability. The compensator is made from stainless steel, while the barrel is crafted from high-grade **416R stainless steel**, both treated with **Radianite** coating for wear and corrosion resistance. The compact design keeps it flush with the Glock 45 slide, and the **Radianite Bronze** adds a distinct and durable finish to the setup.

### Build Quality and Installation

The quality of this combo speaks for itself. The **Radianite coating** provides a robust, scratch-resistant finish that can withstand regular use, while the threadless design makes maintenance easier, eliminating the common issue of needing to re-tighten threaded compensators. Installation is simple, though you’ll find a full installation guide over on my website, **razormp.com**, for those looking to get into the details.

### Performance at the Range

At the range, the Afterburner and Ramjet performed as expected, delivering a noticeable reduction in recoil and muzzle rise. This improvement allowed for faster follow-up shots and tighter groupings, whether shooting rapidly or focusing on precision. As I experienced with my Glock 19, this setup brings a smooth, controlled shooting experience to the Glock 45, making it an ideal choice for those who prioritize control and accuracy in their Glock platform.

### Pros and Cons

The **Afterburner and Ramjet** bring several advantages:
- **Recoil reduction** and enhanced control for quicker follow-up shots
- **Threadless design** for easy maintenance without constant adjustments
- **Radianite Bronze finish** for added durability and aesthetic appeal

While this setup offers plenty of benefits, there are some considerations:
- **Cost**: This is an investment, so if recoil management isn’t a priority, a standard barrel may suffice.
- **Practicality**: For concealed carry, some may find a compensator unnecessary. However, it ultimately comes down to personal preference and intended use.

### Final Thoughts

In summary, the **Radian Afterburner and Ramjet combo** in **Radianite Bronze** is a worthwhile upgrade for Glock 45 owners looking to enhance control and precision. It’s easy to install, performs reliably, and adds minimal bulk. Based on my experience with this setup on both the Glock 19 and Glock 45, it’s a great choice for those looking to optimize their shooting experience.

A special thank you to **Scottsdale Tactical** for their support.
