    Sorry guys, when referring to the ported slide I was talking about the micro dagger not the dagger compact. I did a bad job of explaining that!

      was it like a local or a professional event either way man 3rd is crazy good awesome shit man! and for a dagger too. I’m not sure why everyone shits on it so much but I’m almost 1k rounds in (i know it’s not much) but not a single jam or malfunction. Mag release isn’t the best though not sure if I should swap it out.

    I thought I was going to replace the trigger because it sucks out of the box, but after putting about 300 rounds through it it feels waaaaaay better, it actually feels good, and it is not just me getting used to it either. Apparently break in is a thing with the trigger, everything else felt good out of the box.

      I have a compact and micro and I agree, the trigger pull espically on the micro is really crisp mabye I got one made on a good day but has a great break, I'm not a fan of the trigger shoe so I just replaced the shoe on my compact with a flat faced one off ebay and put a tyrant designs in my micro c-1

    I have a dagger and enjoy shooting it. Having said that, there are a lot of choices now for not much more, as you eluded. Now with the Echelon 4.0c, the Ruger RXM, etc, there is not a lot of advantage to buying a Dagger any longer, unless that's just the one you like. Nothing wrong with that.

  • @keith2772
    @keith2772 5 днів тому

    From what I understand, the MIM locking block is the weak link in these pistols and can't be replaced with the Glock one, only the factory part. If someone made a replacement locking block that wasn't MIM I imagine they would sell a ton of them.

  • @davidcustard2631

    I enjoyed building out my Dagger after catching the lower and upper on sale separately, under 300. You are spot on with changing out the trigger. I went with Tactical Pontoon’s Dagger kit, much improved. Added your HA comp, Holosun 507C ACSS green, Holosun PID 1000, and a 3D printed mag well. Very Happy with all those. The Harrington Arms comp fit perfectly on the angled nose of the PSA slide. I bought and tried an extended mag release, but it was way too long, so back to stock. Which one do you recommend?

    solar bits are a backup, not a charger. They do not prolong the battery life. They also control the auto-brightness feature.

    it's perfect for group buys for those who want sub 300 (on sale) Glocks not in .40sw trade in. Even your most broke homie, if he has a credit card can afford to have a dagger frame (60 for burnt orange) sent to his local pawnshop. All the homies can train together using the same basic gear platform. Plus trading parts during super sales. like maybe a coupon on Harrington comps ;)

      How so? Just a good light and red dot will surpass the price of a lot of good pistols. Add a comp and maybe a trigger and you are well past the pistol's cost, unless you're buying something like a Staccato. It's an expensive hobby, regardless of what you tell your wife.

    I've got a hand full of Daggers, both the compact and the micro. Glock triggers are trash; the dagger stock trigger is a radioactive dumpster fire. Sorry Glock guys my PPQ M1 spanks all of your after market upgrades. I do really enjoy the after market support and after some ghost parts and a different trigger the Dagger is better than a Glock stock trigger.
    My biggest complaint is the same as yours. The button mag release is just not good. But I don't think any button release is acceptable. I prefer the PPQ's paddle style release. It is faster and ambi. I wish the USA market had a better reaction to it. If I could have it my way every pistol with a magazine would use it.
