So far it seems to work like the Gen 3-4 swaps.
You can pretty much just swap slides for the most part and it’ll work fine.
If it’s a duty or carry gun, I’d go ahead and just swap the trigger group over (for me, it’s quicker and easier than changing the ejector, but that works too).
Here’s some video from the range today where I was trying to get a sense of resonant timing of the 40SW in this gun.
I have to work a little harder to get down to 0.15 splits but it’s still pretty manageable.
Does anyone with both know if the G22 spring is heavier?
Glock does some strange things with their RSAs sometimes.
Sometimes it seems like they use the same one across different models as an afterthought, but sometimes they actually change them.
Thinking I might need a slightly lower spring rate for the gamer 40 but options and information aren’t plentiful.
I ordered one of these:

Currently 15 percent off.
I did a 13 pound rate assuming the stock might be around 17.
I did trim the outside radius of the stock spring to lighten the weight a little rather than cutting coils like I normally do for single spring rods since dual rods usually have tapered or welded ends of spring to keep them from falling off the short rods.
Thanks guys!
I figured that it would but it is nice to have confirmation.
I keep a Gen 3 17 with extra slides, barrels, and an ejector to shoot 9mm, 40 S&W, and .357 Sig. I am glad I will be able to do the same with the Gen 5.
Barrel OD of new Gen is larger. 0.61 versus 0.58 in.
So can’t use this slide with a 357 Sig Gen 4 on a Gen 4 frame.
Was hoping to be able to use the heavy slide with 357 Sig.
