Thanks for the prompt reply and confirmation! Looks like I will give this a shot in my Gen3 as well.

You won’t regret it. Now I just wish Glock made one for my 43X.

Well, that’s a wrap. My boy and I just got back from the range and testing my G26 with the GPT. It performed perfectly. Great addition to an already great pistol.

Thanks for the review! Can you comment on the trigger shoe? It appears to be slightly flatter? Any thoughts on swapping it out for a flat trigger shoe?

The trigger shoe is flat faced. It’s hard to see looking at it. When you feel it you’ll know what I mean. I thought the same thing when I started looking at them.

Hey guys. So since you can modify a GPT to fit in a Gen3, is it safe to say that one can also make the same modifications to a factory Gen5 trigger to make it work in a Gen3? Trim the feet on the housing and use a Gen5 slide back plate?

Probably so

Thanks Para. I understand that the Performance Trigger is nice, but do you have any experience with a factory Gen 5 trigger? I keep hearing how good it is "out of the box", so I figured it might be a decent "upgrade" to my factory Gen 3 trigger.

In my experience, that's just a bunch of hype. Gen 5 triggers have the same characteristics of the previous generations. Glock triggers are like snowflakes- no two are exactly alike.

If your intent is to improve the trigger of your pistol, start by polishing the trigger bar and the firing pin safety plunger. Search for "Glock .25 cent trigger job" on youtube. Johnny Glocks channel on youtube offers a wealth of advice but you have to invest some time to go though all the videos.

But, any change you effect will be slight. Don't screw with the springs. Experimenting with various connectors might be the answer for you.

To effect a significant change, you'll need to consider the GPT or the Timney trigger. These are not for everyone.

I have been underwhelmed by the Timney and GPT. I think a well honed standard action, call it a 50 cent trigger job, is at least as good.

The GPT is, in terms of the trigger break, far better than the stock Glock system, polishing or no; of the four GPTs I have installed, only one of them has any detectable creep, and to discern it, you have to press the trigger very slowly. The GPT release is slightly more crisp than the Walther PPQ stock trigger (which also suffers from the "snowflake" phenomenon.) However, Walther's Dynamic Performance Trigger beats them all, by a good measure.

I've never handled or tried the Timney trigger for Glock.
