So many Radian Ramjet + Afterburner in Classifieds

[riceman]

I had been toying with the idea of getting the Ramjet combo for my glock 43, that is till I saw pages of them being listed in the classifieds. Hope to get some information of why and any pros and cons regarding them.

I have them on my P365, G43x,and G19. Reduced recoil and better follow up shots. Shoots like a .22 I guess if people are selling the gun they would sell this separately. I don't know any other reason why people don't like them. As long as your using FMJ and not Blazer its good to go.

Or, they put them on a CCW gun and then realized it's a bit heavier and the draw stroke is longer or their IA doesn't allow it.

or they just changed their minds.?

I have one on my G19 and like it.

I have one on a glock19 along with the radian adjustable guiderod/spring set... i've noticed a difference and its not a placebo

Will they handle defensive ammo. such as Gold Dot or HST?
This is from their website:
"This product is NOT compatible with Sig Sauer models that feature a loaded chamber indicator (LCI). The RAMJET™ barrel does not feature a cut for the OEM LCI and will not seat with it in place."
So, you have to either remove the LCI or have an off-roster version.

1. Yes it handles all types of defensive ammo, On the box of Blazer is says " not for comped or ported barrels" I had some FTE with that ammo. I run HST 124 with no issues.
2. If your CA compliant Sig STILL has The LCI installed theres no hope for you.

I've never used one but I do have a comp on my FN509T. As more gas is escaping vs pushing the slide back, it will not run with 115 or 124 grain, nothing but FTF and FTE's. 147 works great 100%. So could be issues with needing more powerful/expensive ammo.
I have also read the difference in recoil is not as significant as people were hoping for and they are expensive, so they sell them and go back to OEM barrels

Typically barrels that are made for a slide with an LCI have to have a different cut, I found this out on my M&P 2.0 5" after I bought a OR barrel but my old barrel (with LCI) wouldn't fit.
