GJM's thoughts above rang in my head today during a match. I shot a dueling tree match (eight 5" plates at 10 yards or a little bit more) today. It's two shooters shooting and whoever can put all 8 plates on their opponents side wins. It's a lot of fun and it adds stress, which is great. I used my G34.5 with the 507Comp using the 8" horseshoe only. It worked quite well as it got me into the semi-finals.
What stood out to me today was how soft the G34.5 was shooting with the 150 gr Syntech ammo I was using. It caught me off guard a couple of times because the slide was cycling so softly that I could not tell by feel that I had run out of ammo. We were limited to 10 rounds per magazine and there were some heated shoot-offs where 2 or 3 mags were needed to take the win. That's the first time I've ever experienced that. So, I'm thinking that the 150 gr Syntech is close to the edge for reliable cycling, but still reliable in my G34.5.

Walked out of the gun shop today with a blue label 47. $532 OTD. Guy behind the counter was like “you’re lucky, this one comes with plates. They’re not including plates anymore.” I didn’t tell him hell would freeze over before I used the OEM plates. Not worth the wasted air.
This top end may get sent off to Monsoon Tactical for the Lucky 7’s treatment. The big question is do I keep the frame?

When I went to mount a Holosun on a G47, I pawed through a few different CHPWS plates, and ended up using the OEM plate, that I thought had better screw engagement. It has worked fine.
It has been "gospel" for years that the OEM plates are bad, but properly installed, I am not so sure they are a problem. What issues are you seeing these days with them?
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
Last several G47s I received came with RMR plates.
The OEM plates are just okay and can work. Generally though, OEM < CHPWS/FCD < direct mill.
