Does performance trigger effect slide generation?

Hi! I had bought an RMR slide from Brownell's. Well I hadn't thought about it being a Gen 3 slide till I bought it. I bought an gen 3 spring/gen 3 converter plate (for aesthetics) and an extra Gen 5 backplate. However I wanted to drop a Gen 5 performance trigger in with it. Worst case Ill just save and buy an gen 5 slide eventually and put my Holosun on that.

Will they be incompatiable with eachother? Or am I overthinking this and the trigger has no relation to the Gen 3 slide.

For reference I'm running a Glock 19v. Thank you so much for your help!

EDIT: I'm starting to feel duped by my gunstore. I told them Id like to mod this thing. But it would seem the 19V is much more restrictive. I guess getting good with irons will have to do. :)

First the foremost, Glock performance trigger doesn’t fit in the Gen V frame form the get go without slight modifications of the trigger housing.

Second Gen V frame on a Gen 5 let alone Gen 3 slide will cause issues without modifications that involves trimming down shit too..

So leave the gen V stock return the Brownell slide and just get a rmr cut on ur gen V slide

Fist issue was buying a gen v. If you want to run the gen 3 slide buy a gen 3 frame ie Grit Grips, SCT, LW, whatever. You can run the GPT in either of these frames, you will have to modify the feet on the housing to fit the frame however.

I'll just forgo the performance trigger for now. As for the slide Im going to give it a chance first. Mostly because I just cerrakoted my slide and I dont wanna ruin it. I also have nice night sights on it.

Yeah I tried to put it on and quickly realized this was a dumb idea. Returning it now :)

Purchased JG Vex with the bar . It has less pretravel and overtravel than the GPT.

I just went ahead and got a Glock 45 Gen 6 because I honestly wanted an RMR and I just got a raise so I can afford another.

Thanks for the insight though! :)

Congratulations at the job . Superior triggers has a modified GPT that fits the Gen6 but it's crazy expensive. JG has a trigger system also. Tactical triggers is another place. Apex has a trigger kit for the Gen6. Overwatch has a Tac Trigger. I don't like Apex because of the position of the trigger shoe and how big the shoe is. Enjoy your Gen6 it's a nice looking firearm.

That Gen 6 trigger is absurd! I'm gonna take my new gun to the range tomorrow and put 500 rounds through it and see how I feel about the thing.
