I have seen the Palmetto State Armory Dagger Glock 3 clones, and have been interested. I finally ended up with one at an incredible price and got around to shooting it this weekend.
The Dagger feels good, maybe even a bit better than a compact Glock. The trigger feels workable. It's segmented instead of being a blade type. I took my mag full of Federal 150 grain Syntech and addressed the target at 7 yards.
I fired 4 rounds, and rushed a couple of the shots, which were fired pretty rapidly, and then began firing quick controlled pairs at the small diamonds in the corners. I was on my 9th or 10th round when I had a malfunction. I could tell almost immediately this was an actual jam.
The smaller holes are 5.56, and the rest are the 9mm Dagger holes. It should be clear that this is a very accurate, shootable handgun.
And, here is the culprit. You can see that the slide is slightly out of battery and it is locked up solidly. If it weren't well within warranty, I might have tried using a rubber mallet to knock the slide open.
I have emailed PSA, and am waiting to hear back from them.
