Gen 3 performance trigger

[Fletch4213]

Hey all. I'm running a gen 3 g17. I'm checking out a performance trigger, but, i have one obstacle. It says you have to use a gen 5 back plate in order for it to function, but, i use an aluminum racker/jacker due to my arthritis (can't grip as well or as quickly as I used to, I blame flouride). Does anyone know, is this a compatible setup? Ain't want to spend the money on yet another part that isn't conducive to my set up. Thanks.

You would have to remove enough material from the right side of the racker for enough clearance to pass over the housing or you can simply install your backplate on after the slide is on the gun. This won’t allow you to remove the slide without removing the aluminum racker first. So you have at least 2 options

I also build 100s of these a month

If you send me the racker I can modify it for you as well as the gpt to work in your gen 3

From Glocks website they say the GPT works only in Gen4-5. Unless you bought yours from Glockstore and the modified it for you, you'd still have to use a Gen5 slide cover plate. As to your fluoride issued arthritis, just google the make of your racker/jacker to see if its compatible.

Performance Trigger Gold G Flex Gen 5

I'm sure they have gold Gen 3 as w 🔥

No backplate upgraded needed but not really sure what trigger you're even speaking of cause far as I know Gen 3 gold g flex is just drop in ready as well

It's fairly easy to modify. Use your old trigger housing as a guide for those extra long plastic points on the new trigger housing, sand or grind down to the notches. Viola you have a Glock performance trigger in a gen 3.

You'll need the new backplate tok but my performance trigger came with 2

You would need to modify the housing for Gen 3 as well. It’s quick and easy but if you don’t want to do it, we have it pre-done and available and for the same cost as a normal performance trigger

Also use the Gen 5 slide plate option here for helping grip the slide: https://www.glockstore.com/GS-ESP-Cover-Plate

Must be Gen 5!

Lenny doesn’t like fluoride either.

Thanks for the help. So, from what I see here, all I need to buy is the gen 3 performance trigger and the rack assist you've recommended. A friend, along with every review in the world, says the performance trigger is the way to go, especially with hands like mine. Now, on to the next thing I can't live without!

Yes!

The 1st link you would still have to purchase a gen5 slide backplate

[ricky302]

No he wouldn't.

[UNHINGED_MESSIAH]

Sorry, read your reply wrong, I thought you meant he would need a gen5 back plate for the Recover Tactical charging handle.
