I’m planning out the slide for my Dagger lowers. I’m looking to put a Radian Ramjet or Strike Industries Mass Driver on an Extreme Carry Cut slide. Both are supplied for specific gems. Does it matter between the Gen 3 and 4 or is only one compatible with the slide?

Does anyone know if a Glock 19 Gen 3 slide will fit and work on a Dagger frame?
Will a Dagger slide fit and work on a Glock 19 Gen3 frame? |

So, late to the party but picked up a Dagger with SW1, threaded barrel, and RMR cut. Took it out today (Saturday, 1 APR 2023) and shot 2 & 1/3 mags before the slide stop broke. I've spoken with a few friends, all "Glock guys" and the breakage is something they've never seen...guess I'm special. The portion of the stop that retains the spring broke, which caused the spring to fall under the stop and become totally worthless. The behavior was to lock open on every shot even though the mag had about 10 rounds in it. That said, the real reason I'm posting is the next paragraph:
Sent PSA an email when I got home and two (2) hours later had a response with request for address so they could ship me a new one. Wow, impressed with customer service! |

Just installed a Zev Pro trigger in my newest Dagger.
 Attached FileIf you decide to replace trigger components on a Dagger, use enough hammer to get the pins moving. Much tighter than a Glock in my experience. That's not necessarily a bad thing, they ain't drifting out lol. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By erazor55: I have a couple of Glocks, no problem removing the trigger pin. On my Dagger, I've tried every trick I've read about or watched on YouTube, including the last one I viewed clamping the trigger portion of the frame in soft jaws, and grabbing the slide lock empty mag catch with pliers wiggling/pushing back and forth, etc. but can't for the life of me remove the trigger pin. Is there some other magic I can try? here's what worked for me: requires 3 hands, or, 2 hands and a bench vise. clamp the pin punch (or Glock tool) in the bench vise, sticking out sideways, about belly button height. before starting, with thumb pressure, push the trigger pin in on the left side. This is just to position the notch for the next steps. position the left-side of the frame with the pin-punch resting on the trigger pin, no pressure, just hold it in position. If you apply pressure, you might prevent the front of the slide release from moving up. with the thumb of the hand that's holding the frame, press down on the slide release tab, press it against the top of the frame. insert a mag, so that the mag follower pushes up on the tab of the slide release. when you SEE the hole-end of the slide-release "click" out of the trigger-pin notch, press the frame against the bench-vise pin punch, and the trigger pin will slide out. |

Originally Posted By DaveyDug: It's the spring. I'm going to keep working with it to see if it improves before going to the next step. replaced my mag release spring with a reduced lbs spring from RYG. it's 0.047" dia vs the std Glock 0.050" thickness. makes a difference. dunno if the Dagger mag release spring is thicker than the stock Glock spring. also replaced the PSA front roll pin for the locking block with a 0.001" over-sized 1/8" x 1" steel dowel pin. Replaced the trigger housing roll pin with a 1/8" X 7/8" steel dowel pin (standard size, not OS), but I chucked the pin into a drill and uses a dremel stone to put a bullet-nose on both ends of the pin so it doesn't gouge out polymer as it's being pushed in/out. Sourced the pins from McMaster-Carr. the PSA trigger group responds well to the Johnny Glock 1/16" roll-pin mod to reduce pre-travel take-up, just need to trim the hinged lower trigger shoe block, same as you would for the Glock OEM dingus, so that the drop safety is still functional. Luckily, the PSA trigger shoe roll pins are easier to work with than the Glock OEM trigger shoe blind pin holes. Neither here nor there, the PSA roll pins are SAE, the Glock OEM pins are metric, so not interchangeable. If you want to use a Glock OEM trigger bar with the PSA trigger shoe, you have to drill out the Glock trigger bar with a #42 (0.0935") carbide drill bit, the Glock trigger bar steel seems to be hardened. Found that the notches in the PSA trigger pin are wider than Glock OEM, so replaced the PSA trigger pin with a Glock OEM trigger pin. The PSA wider notches allow the pin to stick out a little, while still engaged with the slide lock hole, a little annoyance. |

Just shot my newest one, 100 rounds of AAC. It's the least accurate Dagger I own. Won't say I am disappointed, but I was a little surprised. Groups at 15 yards, almost twice what my other ones shoot. Maybe it doesn't like that ammo?
And POA/POI was off 5" to the left at 15 yards. I do need a sight drifter. The stock trigger is easily the best of all my stock Daggers. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ScottS: Or you could just try one of your other Dagger barrels... Agreed. And those 2 G19 barrels I have are Combat Armory. May have been manufactured by BCA, idk. I cleaned the pistol, put in a Combat Armory barrel, and a barrel out of one of my known accurate Daggers in the pistol bag, should be able to shoot it tomorrow and see if it makes a difference. At 15, 20 yards, all my Daggers will do about 4" groups, rapid fire. This one was closer to 8". Maybe I was having a bad day, but with a striker fired platform I am used to, 3" to 4" groups at that distance are what I generally shoot. And I have shot a ton of the AAC 115 gn ammo, it's as accurate as any other FMJ ammo I have shot. |

It's the barrel. With the Combat Armory barrel, if I really took my time, 10 rounds in 3" at 15 yards. Not super great, but that's as accurate as I am able to be. Stuck the PSA barrel back in, about 8". I am going to contact PSA and see if they wouldn't mind exchanging this barrel.

I’m new to the Dagger scene. Figured I have a Glock 17.5 and I’d be happy. Well PSA got me with the Freedom Week sales and I ordered the Dagger Compact frame.
 Please excuse the following newby questions and explain it to me like I’m in the 7th grade. Or even better, like I’m about to go into a nursing home because I’m old. Does PSA have a webpage breakdown on the different models of the Daggers? All I seem to find is sales ads, not product info pages. My assumption are: Standard Dagger is 17.3. Compact is 19.3. But then I see Micro Dagger. WTF is that? Or is the Standard like a Glock 45? Big frames, short slide. Are all Dagger slides the size of the 19? I’ve spent hours going through the website looking at complete slide assemblies. Good website for sales, but tough for reading up on product, options, finishes, etc. I’ve got a feeling there’s no pattern to what PSA is offering, but what stash of barrels, sights and finishing materials they have on hand. All I know is I bought the Glock 17.5 as a suppressor host. Now I want a 19, but I really don’t see a need for a threaded barrel. Still up in the air if I want a RDS since my 17 has an SRO already. |

Although, as I understand it, the PSA Micro-Dagger slides will fit the G43 frames. |
