....because you will purchase one.

They fixed the grip from the standard G brand that the Dagger is patterned off of. Now it POINTS at POI as it should. I nice bulge in the rear strap combined with a slightly more aggressive texture on the front strap really changes this platform up.

Trigger is excellent. Has a half of the normal G springy feel, but the short reset is definitive and of the right distance.

VERY impressed.
 
Do you need to buy these straight from PSA or are local shops starting to stock them? I'm not a big polymer guy but I was in the market for a glockalike awhile back and these popped up on my radar.
 
I was thinking about trying one but I have an assortment of Gs. These have their differences and unlike other budget pistols hitting the market, these have ties to the USA and not imported.

My LGS stocks PSA so check around.
 
My buddy has one. I did not shoot it, but I did handle it. Very nice in the hand. It pointed very well for me.
 
Picked one up when it was on sale. Put a Burris Fastfire on it but decided to leave it stock. Shoots just as good as my G19. It now resides in a bug out bag with a Kel Tec Sub 2K and a bunch of mags and ammo.

The Dagger definitely had some teething problems when it was first released. But PSA has done a good job of fixing things and producing a solid pistol for a great price. I know the Dagger slides are also popular with the P80 build community too.
 
From what I have read on their website PSA will not send any 17rd mags or send other mags in their place or refund any money if package is bought in
a state with limited capacity mags.

I probably would too, honestly.

Their prices are still hard to beat, barring custom mag orders for politics beyond their control

Thats a Dagger lower with a 3CR Tactical slide
I had purchased the slide , being it was on sale and after looking for a G19 lower .. I ordered the Dagger lower .. boom ! Great pistol…
No complaints
 
Mine has really bright nigh sights on it.

A Glock 20/21 Sport holster works for it:

I've been looking at these guns for quite awhile. I get PSA's email blasts, and some of these deals are hard to pass up. It's good to hear good reviews on them.
 
I honestly haven't shot my Dagger a lot but the only thing that bothered me about it is the magazine release was very stiff out of the box. It isn't now. If anyone buys one & the magazine release is stiff take it out & shoot the snot out of it & it will loosen up.
 
In a moment of weakness… I purchased the deal combo. Dagger, pistol case, 10 mags, and 40 rounds of JHP Sierra 124 grain ammo. Delivered for $390. name a better deal out there….

Looking forward to giving it a try. I’ve shot glocks in the past and always liked the recoil impulse and reliability.
 
Hickok just did a review yesterday as well. Nothing bad to say about it other than the trigger. I bet orders will increase based on his review.
 
I have a dagger slide with a red dot and threaded barrel on a P80c lower and it runs perfectly. I liked it enough that I bought another dagger upper on sale for like $150 and got a dagger and AR15 lower on sale for $100. So even with shipping and transfer I got a complete dagger for about $250. Pretty hard to argue with that. I only shot a couple mags through it to check that it works and had no issues. I would rate the trigger about a 4 out of 10, but the ergonomics of the dagger grip are great. If you were looking for a G19 and don't mind the trigger or where going to upgrade the trigger anyway, the dagger is kind of a no brainer.
