Exactly, but he was using a comp to keep the carbon off the light. This one, not so much. That’s exactly why I mentioned that in the review. Hahaha. Glad you thought about it and mentioned it.
I haven’t bench rested it, but I’ve done plenty of shooting at 25 yds and it’s extremely accurate. The barrel has been extremely accurate for a handgun.
The original ramjet on the G19 works with all ammo weights. This version for the 17 has the 124gr and up stipulation. Thats really what keeps me from getting one. My 19 with the ramjet eats everything.
Impressive shooting, you’re the first overview of this product on this platform that actually controls your muzzle rise with also virtually no vertical / horizontal shift on video. Reviews from various UA-camrs on the Radian Ramjet and Afterburner combo display poor grip (not to industry standard), irregular shooting stances, or significant movement (sway) with their recoil control. From this there’s much complaints on this product when it’s mainly subjective from the user’s own negligence or lack of skill in pistol shooting. Especially with the additional weight added on like a weapon light and dot, the perspective amounts to “save your money and buy more ammo” ; though, shooting more rounds doesn’t equate to building skill when they’re already failing to control recoil in the first place with consistent poor performance. From that alone good insight speaking on your experiences with this product. Happy to hear your overview, what brands and type of training and carry loads have you been mostly firing post 124/147gr 500rds+ for testing especially during the video! And thank you for the holster information in terms of slide length and weight factor with aftermarket slides like your Zev, again many UA-camrs fail to mention this subject. It’s refreshing to see someone who’ll utilize a “comp” to its fullest potential as clearly depicted by your recoil management / control in the first minute.
I really appreciate that. I’ve put a lot of time, and money, into getting proficient shooting so I’m very appreciative when someone tells me that they notice. Thank you The only ammo I’ve shot through the g17 ramjet is 147 storm troopers that I get from SpecTrain. That’s basically what I shoot year round now, as well as some factory 147 if I run out of the storm troopers and need something else to shoot.
Possibly, but my buddies 45 with ramjet doesn’t shoot as soft as my 17 with ramjet. His 45 doesnt have the DPM systems guide rod and we probably weren’t shooting the same ammo. This gives me an idea on a new video.
@@billdrill22 that would be a cool video to see comparing the both. I ask because I just bought a g45 and it came with a radian, acro, and surefire but I’ve not shot it yet
Interesting that you already had the soft version of the DPM recoil spring in the 17 before adding the Ramjet & Afterburner. I run the soft DPM spring in my 26 as that was the only option I believe. Always runs great with Federal HST 124 grn. 19C has soft DPM, but have standard strength DPMs on my non-ported 19 and 45.
I run 147 grain full time now. If I need ammo and buy from a box store, I might be forced to buy 124, but that’s rare. So I’ve just always used the small spring for that reason. Great results too. I love the DPM systems guide rods.
Would you say the 17 with the ramjet is softer than the OZ9? I’d like to see Radian come out with the ramjet for the 17 Gen 3 so it can be tested on the standard OZ9.
It definitely is softer, but is also pickier on ammo, at least mine is. It only runs 147 grain wheras the OZ9 eats anything. The gen 3 g17 ramjet is in the works I’ve heard.
My friend, you are correct. My buddy has this exact set up, edc_guy, and it is in fact ridiculous. He’s the guy who is shoot with in some of my videos. I do believe he has a short with that gun
@billdrill22 what if a tungsten guide rod was thrown into the mix? Is that too much or a bad idea? I'd imagine some spring tuning would need to happen.
If there's anyone with a a Gen 3 Glock 19, Primary Arms has the Ram Jet After Burner on sale for $326, that's the lowest I've ever seen it. I ordered mine a couple days ago.
If you want as modular setup as possible it makes sense to buy the 45 and 49 or 19.5 and 47. That way you have in theory 4 different pistol configurations. The 47 and 17 do recoil slightly different when shot back to back but really its not a big difference.
Not if you have a 19. But also depends on what you want. 19/47 also make a 45 or 49 so if you wanna just swap 2 slides around you got options of diff set ups. If don’t care about that, 17 is definitely classic and grip frame has longer dust cover / accessory rail.
Do you think this guy actually walks around with his arms in front of him like that?🤔... If he does then that would look really suspiciously odd,like you are hiding something😐.... The point here is that he is practicing all wrong... What you do Not want to do while EDC is walking around sticking out looking odd and suspicious... You do Not want to attract attention... Practice in drawing like you are Not looking for any excuse at any moment to draw on Anyone... Dont stick out like a sore thumb,be normal like everyone else 👍😎
Bro, what are you talking about? I literally stand like that all day. You don’t cross your arms in front of you when you’re just standing around not doing anything. Try it sometime. It’s very comfortable.
@@ellissmithjr6599 I get your point, however, my point is that yes, when I stand around my arms are crossed. Rarely do I leave my arms by my side. Now, I had to go back and watch this video to see what you were referring to because I wasn’t sure, but after watching, yes, that’s how I stand around. Do I “walk” like that, no. But I also don’t walk when I practice draws and shooting.
@@billdrill22 Okie Dokie 👍... My only point... Practice your responce (drawing) to every day life,real life situtations mindset. Practicing your range draw is Only that,standing there facing your target with hands in font of your appendix carry is for the range which is what you are actually practicing & training to do if that is all you are doing and that is ok... Real life situtations... You may be standing with your hands in your pockets,maybe your arms crossed over your chest or even leaning against something or sitting... You may be standing talking to someone when from your left or right a bad situation arises that may require you to instantly draw your weapon and react to it... You may even be walking and have to do a 180° and need to react quickly... Range play and practice drawing is fun👍... Practicing for reacting & drawing for real life situtations is a different world of preparedness,mindset and trainng skill.... That was my only point in my original comment is all 👍😎.
I got ya. I see what you’re saying. I also know by that comment you probably haven’t watched any of my other videos though because you’ll see I train and take classes often. I appreciate the comment. I do in fact understand what you’re saying now though.

Rub a thin layer of chap stick on the light lens and when it gets dirty you can wipe the carbon buildup right off without messing the lens up.
I was doing that until I learned the carbon comes right off with distilled white vinegar. Now I just use that.
Couple of drops of Paragon WLC and it’s back to new after looking like crap.
These are helpful tips, I always resorted to flitz
Excellent music during opening shooting session.
Thank you
Mines should be here Thursday. Excited
It shoots so good, you’re going to be pleasantly amazed.
The Roland is back
Exactly, but he was using a comp to keep the carbon off the light. This one, not so much. That’s exactly why I mentioned that in the review. Hahaha. Glad you thought about it and mentioned it.
Nice 👍. Ever accuracy tested the ramjet at distance? Like 25 yard bench rest or anything? Would be interesting the group size with decent ammo.
I haven’t bench rested it, but I’ve done plenty of shooting at 25 yds and it’s extremely accurate. The barrel has been extremely accurate for a handgun.
Awesome. You think benched 1" groups @ 25 yds is possible?
Absolutely
Wow 👍🤙
The original ramjet on the G19 works with all ammo weights. This version for the 17 has the 124gr and up stipulation. Thats really what keeps me from getting one. My 19 with the ramjet eats everything.
It will still shoot 115gr. It is optimized to run 124 and 147, but it will still run 115

You think a g45 with a radian would should just as flat as the 17/47 with a radian?
Possibly, but my buddies 45 with ramjet doesn’t shoot as soft as my 17 with ramjet. His 45 doesnt have the DPM systems guide rod and we probably weren’t shooting the same ammo. This gives me an idea on a new video.

that’s a fantastic combo you’ve got. I already talked to me buddy. We’re going to do the comparison. His 45 shoots great with the ramjet on it.
@@billdrill22 do you prefer the DPM systems guide rod over the one that radian offers for the ramjet?
Never used the radian guide rod, but I LOVE DPM

Problem with appendix carry is it’s impossible not to look goofy when drawing or holstering.
Eh, I see your point but I disagree that it looks goofy. I think it looks easy and safe.

I have to get one for my Glock 17. Dope pick up bro. Where can I put one on layaway?
I use my local pawnshop/ffl. Patriot Pawn is where I go, Dallas, GA, but if you call around you’ll find someone local I’m sure.
@billdrill22 Did you need adjust anything?
Who did the slide cuts on your 34? I've been looking for serrations exactly like this
Maple Leaf Customs “duty cut”

No. Rumor has it they will be coming out with a gen 3 version at some point.
@billdrill22 what if a tungsten guide rod was thrown into the mix? Is that too much or a bad idea? I'd imagine some spring tuning would need to happen.
@@technicaldifficulties2522I think it would be fine. I’d probably use a 15 or 13lb, but yeah, I think it’d work nicely

Thank you. These work on the oz9 compact too
Does it make any sense to get a Glock 17 now with the Glock 47 being out?
If you want as modular setup as possible it makes sense to buy the 45 and 49 or 19.5 and 47. That way you have in theory 4 different pistol configurations. The 47 and 17 do recoil slightly different when shot back to back but really its not a big difference.
@@rhodycars6058 thanks
Absolutely. I would still buy a 17 over a 47 because I prefer a direct mill optic. I do not like the MOS system personally
Not if you have a 19. But also depends on what you want. 19/47 also make a 45 or 49 so if you wanna just swap 2 slides around you got options of diff set ups. If don’t care about that, 17 is definitely classic and grip frame has longer dust cover / accessory rail.
