Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By D_Man: No, the P80 compact-long frames require a Gen 3 G17 slide and barrel. None of the dagger slides will work since they're all based on the G19 geometry for position of the locking block. Dangit. Thanks! |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By imdBman: Glad the RYG springs worked. Here is my experience with this issue. I did not see this thread after I bought my Blem FDE Compact frame. The mag release was really stiff. I read other threads that said NDZ mag release helped. Ordered one for about $14 shipped, but was still too stiff. I read to replace the spring. I ordered a Glock OEM spring from Big Tex Ordnance for $.99, $3.98 with shipping. Problem was fixed. Nice thing about the NDZ release is it has serrations. I tried Glock OEM springs first and they felt no different than the PSA springs to me. Glad it worked on your gun. |

just wanted one of the long slides, but the frames are so cheap went ahead and picked up another frame as well
didn't want to be swapping the light and optic back in forth so I picked up a RMR and another TLR-7 too  |

 Attached FileKind of a dagger. Sort of. Maybe? Ran 3 boxes of ammo through it today after building it over the weekend. It ran 100%. Now it's time to Gucci it out. |

Anyone have an assortment of daggers - specifically with lightening cuts?
I’m trying to obtain info on how much weight is saved by more aggressive slide milling Weights in grams would be super cool if anyone had some spare time |

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I have been searching for the difference between the Dagger Micro and Micro C-1. Also is the X-1 just a longer slide/barrel?

Like a G48, the barrel and slide are longer and extend past the frame. The C-1 is the "compensated" version. It has an extended length slide but the shorter barrel of the regular version. The extra slide length past the muzzle is bored out and has comp cuts in the top so the end of the slide is acting like a built in compensator. |

Just be clear can I use the regular barrel in a C slide should I order one? Can I also use the X barrel? So basically but a base pistol, a C slide, and an X barrel and have all 3 conditions? |

The muzzle end hole in that slide is wide open since it's a comp, and I'm not sure if it'll stabilize the barrel correctly since they usually bear against the bottom edge of the barrel at the muzzle. You'd have to get PSA's call on that one. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By imdBman: Anyone have the detailed instructions for replacing the slide stop? I have watched videos and tried lifting the release while pushing the pin L to R. Pin won't move. try inserting a mag. The mag follower will push up on the slide-stop tab, use your finger to push down on the back end of the slide-stop, that will help to raise the front of the slide-stop to help get it out of the notch in the trigger-pin. I've found that having a 1/8" punch clamped in a bench vise, pressing on the trigger-pin, while you're pushing the frame and finagling the slide stop, that helps out. one less hand. but you can't apply too much pressure on the back side with the pin punch, otherwise it won't allow the front end of the slide-stop to rise up out of the notch. If you're pushing too hard, it gets clamped in-place in the notch. If you look closely, with good illumination, you can see the ring-end of the slide-stop move upwards, that's when you can apply the back-side pressure to the trigger-pin with the punch. it's still not easy. seems the geometry of the slot that the slide-stop slides into is a little different than on a G19. Probably helps better with trigger-pin retention, it sure as heck ain't gonna walk out on its' own, but makes it difficult to get the pin out. |

Originally Posted By D_Man: You need to lift the slide stop slightly, and push it forward a bit toward the muzzle. The trigger pin has a groove cut into it the the slide stop rests into due to the force of the slide stop spring pushing it down and back. I usually apply gentle pressure to the pin with a punch while sort of wiggling the slide stop forward and backward to find that sweet spot where it's no longer sitting in the recess in the pin and then the pin will just slide out. You guys are awesome! Worked on it last night for 40 minutes with no progress. 7 minutes after reading your posts, I was able to finesse the pin out and replace my broken slide stop. I have 2 Safariland holsters for my Glock 19. 6378RDS for a Streamlight TLR7 and a 578 standard. Dagger fits in both with a slight adjustment to the tension screw. The Dagger fits and locks in the 6378 without the light. Have not tried it with the light. My Dagger trigger is better than my G19.5. Really liking my Dagger. |

Torqued it down with my front sight tool, no more issues. Well, I was able to get it back together. I lucked out and was able to find the sight when it came off. I remembered I had some Glock sights in my parts box from my time as my agency's Glock Armorer. Figured I would try to use one of the Glock sight screws. I was able to get the broken screw out of the Dagger sight. I had to shorten the Glock sight screw with my bench grinder. All back together with some Vibratight. Hopefully it won't go anywhere now. |

holsters:
Dagger fits snugly in the G19 DeSantis Speed Scabbard (leather). Also, the Blackhawk Serpa Sportster for the G19, but everybody hates on the Serpa because of lazy trigger finger discipline resulting in ND. Regardless, a data point. |

I had an opportunity to put another 200 rounds through the Dagger over the weekend. This brings my round count to 1k thus far. Not a single issue, misfeed, FTE, ect.
Practicing from the holster, draw and shoot a double tap, I probably put 190 of those 200 rounds on steel. The RDS is a game changer for me, and I can honestly say I would have never gotten into the RDS game if it wasn’t for this pistol. What an absolute blast to shoot. It’s made handguns fun again  Thanks PSA! |

So far, I like it. The gun itself cost me $258 plus a transfer fee and shipping. At that price point I am quite impressed. The trigger on mine is actually pretty good too. I'm probably going to add a comp and mag well for this and just have a fun range toy.
I've also heard it's not a bad idea to put a Glock striker in there.  Attached File |
