    Sounds like taking a Dremel tool to the right side slide stop on the G5 stop would resolve that. And aren’t the G3 and G5 recoil assemblies on a 26 the same size? Unlike the G3 and G5 for the 17/19/34.

    My bad I thought he mentioned a G19 swap. Not enough coffee. Yeah, that's it.

    Fwiw

    For conversion people, I have Dremel notched the right side of a Gen 3 slide so it clears the ambi slide lever on a Gen 5 frame.

    I have also tried cutting the ambi lever but it wound up feeling floppy.
