Radian Weapons R0946 Ramjet & Afterburner Combo Gray PVD Stainless Steel Fits Ruger RXM

The Radian Weapons R0946 Ramjet & Afterburner combo is a match-grade barrel and compensator system built for shooters who demand precision and shootability in a compact platform. This is a complete solution for Ruger RXM pistol owners who want measurable recoil reduction without sacrificing concealability or holster compatibility. The matched pairing of Radian's fluted, gas-sealing barrel and their compact Afterburner compensator represents a thoughtful approach to managing recoil impulse in a short-action platform.

Recoil management is the story here. The Ramjet barrel and Afterburner work together to reduce felt recoil by up to 44% when running 115-grain ammunition—a genuine advantage during high-round-count range sessions or defensive practice. The Afterburner itself measures just 0.47 inches in length, which is remarkable given its performance. Radian's taper-lock mounting system (INTRA-LOK) eliminates the need for shims, Loctite, or setscrews; a tapered pin interfaces with a V-groove cut into the barrel's muzzle, indexing the compensator perfectly with no fussing. The angled front faces of the Afterburner are designed to clear holsters, a practical detail that shows Radian understands how people actually use pistols.

The barrel itself is match-grade with fluting that contributes to the gas-sealing chamber design. Both components come in hardened stainless steel with gray PVD coating for durability. This assembly is legal to own and use in all 50 states—no NFA paperwork required. For RXM shooters looking for a turnkey upgrade that shrinks groups and tames recoil, this combo saves the guesswork of sourcing compatible parts separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this barrel and compensator combo fit my Ruger RXM?

Yes. The Radian R0946 is engineered specifically for the Ruger RXM platform. The taper-lock system times the Afterburner to the barrel's muzzle V-groove for a precise, repeatable fit.

Do I need Loctite or shims to install this?

No. The INTRA-LOK taper-lock design uses a tapered pin that seats against the angled V-groove on the barrel—no additional adhesives, shims, or setscrews required. This also ensures the compensator stays perfectly timed shot after shot.

Can I use this compensator in states with muzzle device restrictions?

Yes. The Afterburner has no threads and is not a threaded attachment, making it legal for sale and use in all 50 states without any special licensing or registration.

Will this affect holster fit?

The Afterburner's compact 0.47" length and angled front faces are designed to work with holstering. That said, holster fit varies by model; check with your holster manufacturer to confirm compatibility with this specific setup.
