We haven’t really seen any reliability issues with ours…it’s only been a couple years now with them but I haven’t heard of anyone needing to swap one out because it isn’t working. One of my ATV guys had a heavy trigger at a Qual a few weeks ago, a drop of oil on the connector fixed it right up…there was…a lot of dirt and dust everywhere inside the gun. Shot just fine but…trigger was less than ideal.
They got just as dirty for sure but I wasn’t an FI when we had them so no frame of reference for seeing them daily being shot straight from the field. I never had an issue with my P2000 trigger but I’ve also not had an issue with my G47 trigger and have gotten both just as dirty. Our ATV guys gets stuff a whole other level of dusty though…Tokarev would have much more insight.
At the risk of imagining things, or being flat wrong, after some time shooting the Glock 47, I really like it.
What I have always liked about the Glock 34 is how soft it shoots. What I have not liked about the 34 is it seems more sensitive to ammo, needing higher power factor loads than the 17 and 19, and I have felt like the slide doesn't cycle as well as a 19. My favorite Glock was always a 19 with a carry comp as that gives you a soft shooting but flat cycling slide that fits into the slide length of a 17. Comparing the 19 with a comp to the 47, the 47 seems to shoot flat like a 19 but soft like a 34. This may be because of the extra mass in the 47 slide compared to a 17, nearly 34 weight, and maybe even something to do with the 19 length RSA. In any event, the 47 is easily my favorite shooting non-compensated 9mm Glock, and the Glock I would pick to shoot carry optics division with.

From my limited experience with Glocks (other than a Gen 2 G19 many years ago I’ve only been shooting Gen 5 Glocks since 2020), I’ve come to the same conclusion as GJM. That being said I’ve never had a G34, but I’ve had every other Gen 5 variant. There is something about the G47 that works…it shoots softer and flatter than any other one in my hands except for my Mayhem comped G45.
