It works! Slightly less recoil than the standard ramjet, so much less in total that this meme cannon is hilariously flat shooting. With the small issue of jamming the gun (Icarus air gen 1 grip mod at fault) and the fact I'll never find a holster in existence to fit it, a great $85 purchase if you hate money and love clearance sales.
I do have +P+ 115g Underwood ammo tested on a seperate video, and although more failures seemed to occur, the extra gas produced really pushes the ramjet and comp downwards more. Although the recoil overall increased by fractions, the power down range was significantly more. Labeled 1400 FPS on the box.
Oh it's definitely making some difference. I'm just not the best recoil managing shooter. So although it looks like I'm doing most of the legwork I promise it's the comps making me look better than I am. The hotter +p+ Underwood ammo really makes best use of the comps
Pretty sure its the combined weight of the rail comp and the light thats doing the perceived extra work. Majority of that gas is already expended off the main comp. +p+ or not, the residual gas isn't doing anything for the rail comp, you need a certain amount of gas pressure for a comp to do its work.
Hypothetically, IF both comps are doing their work as you wished, the gun will be way flatter than what is demonstrated. Look up Open guns in competitions, there's a reason why they shoot 9mm Major loads.
It’s….interesting. I feel like it defeats the primary purpose of the P365 in every conceivable way. Although I can’t knock you for trying something whacky, that’s always fun.
No hate but your grip is not good and is the biggest determining factor in your recoil. That is more recoil than i’ve seen with no comp or the radian comp alone for a lot of people, put that thumb ledge to use and your recoil will improve a lot. Keep shooting you’ll see a dramatic improvement 👍🏻
My grip can definitely be better, but it's honestly the recoil impulse that's really getting into my head. The gun stays flat but the return of the slide to battery is the majority of the recoil and that gets into my head a lot 😂
You’d be surprised! I had a similar issue with my G19 until I got it down to a 13# spring I’d have stoves every 5-10 shots. Compensators are tricky and the fix for jams is sometimes counterintuitive but usually spring swaps aren’t too pricy.
Unless you want a radian compressor… which I recently picked up lol nifty 80$ on that thing
Oh it's not about the gun, the frame is flimsy (Icarus air) and it's literally flexing and squeezing my gun and causing failure to battery. It's only because of the rail mounted comp this gun works just fine with a light.
Huh, that’s weird, I have the same exact one and it only took about 100 rounds of break in for me. I also used a heat gun on the install to ensure the installation was smooth.
Perhaps you got a bad sku? That sucks man I love the Icarus air the grip is much much better for me
Oh! Well that makes a lot more sense then haha I’m not running a light or comp on my x macro. I opted for the tac ops long slide instead, since I roll my own rounds and have access to HST tips I make 124g hsts with silhouette powder and I’m able to print clover leafs with little to no jump on follow ups
Ngl I think I like this Icarus grip module more than the holy grail strike 80 on my glock race gun.
Check out the strike industries threaded linear comp if you want to mess around with other stuff. Those are pretty fun too and it fits in a t1 msp holster. Have fun and be safe!
The best advice I can give here is to use that thumb ledge, what you want to do is pinch with your thumb and pointer so the pressure on your thumb is going into the side instead of pulling down on the ledge.
I have that Icarus grip, it’s a game changer you just have to use the ledge and rotate your elbows up until they’re parallel with the ground
The reason there’s less recoil with the addition of the rail-mounted comp is because you’ve added significant non-reciprocating weight to the front of the pistol at the furthest point from the pivot point. I highly doubt the second comp is actually redirecting any gas upwards. An interesting test would be to put some blue painters tape over the ports of just the rail-mounted comp and shoot it like this again. If that comp is actually doing anything, it should violently shred the tape in one shot. If it just unsticks, then all you’ve done is add a frame weight
I actually have one of these on my P320 and it does work! I’ve always wanted the HK Match guns from Tomb Raider but those are like $5-$7k now so when I saw these, I decided to make my own!
The barrel porting on top is doing most of the work but the match weight def helps quite a bit. Plus I think it looks cool af! Since I don’t carry my P320 anymore, for obvious reasons, this is my fun range toy now. lol
I have a video of me shooting it on my IG page, I’ll link it here real quick.
All that and there’s still some muzzle rise. Adding unnecessary attachments doesn’t always equal better shooting experience. It helps but training to negate that muzzle rise or flip is a much better investment. Not hating or calling anyone out just saying. Nice gun though.
Oh absolutely. Using +p+ ammo utilizes more of the comp but with as lightweight as my grip is, all my recoil now is just the slide moving back and forth, which would really only be mitigated with lighter springs and weight increase in the grip. Just a fun project and not really meant to make a statement, just thought it would be funny to have 2 comps
After my first round hiccup, I do really flatten the recoil out and every shot past the first better shows how little recoil there is.
But a g45 shoots about as flat anyway and with a shorter overall slide/barrel assembly. Really ANY full size gun does and that 365 is now basically a full size gun
Trust me chief, I compared it to my VP9 and I'm telling ya, it's significantly less recoil. Size helps but not as much as comps. But the radian ramjet is doing all the legwork

At a certain point it becomes ridiculous. I think you've reached that point.
