I bought four of them over a period of about one year. They are compacts, and in four different colors. They have been a joy to shoot, and I have had no problems with any of them. Wish at least one of my Daggers had a RMR slide cut for a red dot, so I could switch it from Dagger to Dagger. I may solve that problem during the Christmas season! Great pistols at a great price!!!  |

I only have one slide without an optic cut; I wish I could have gotten one of the stainless slides with no cut before they were gone.  |

I may solve that problem during the Christmas season! Great pistols at a great price!!! Pick up a P80 slide, they are on close out for $100. The steel is better (17-4 Stainless vs the dagger's 416 stainless) and it is Nitrided. Attached File Dagger slides are a great value, but these are a steal. P80 went out of business.. The serrations on these are also great. |

I saw another aftermarket slide That was advertised as such. You used a little plastic piece behind the RMR if you were using one of those instead of the DPP. |

Damn $75 at ArmOrAlly is a steal. The only Blem I could find was some slightly swirling in the finish near the rear of the slide. Doesn't really bother me. |

I grabbed one of the Faxon threaded barrels they have on sale as well; it's a tight fit in the hood area but it ought to shoot in. I decided to try their Enhanced Slide Completion Kit; it all went together but the safety plunger is a slightly different profile (a little more cylinder shaped just comparing parts) from an OEM Glock so I used an extra Glock part I had but the rest of it went together just fine. Maybe I'll get a chance to shoot it this weekend although I really need to grab some suppressor height sights and a red dot for it. Last G17 threaded Faxon duty barrel in stock. https://www.armorally.com/shop/faxon-firearms-glock-17-threaded-duty-barrel/ @DavidY Just in case you were wondering about my experience with the company |

I either go all black or a fiber optic front. Iirc they were like $40 a set.I believe they might OEM some of the Aimsurplus sights. Regarding AoA, my past orders were excellent, but I was disappointed AoA won't ship gun parts to my state anymore, but after doing some research they kinda got FUCKED in a ghost gun law suit thanks to CA/NY/IL/Et al. The one time I honestly can't blame them. That shit was taken way too far. AOA is a great company, and yeah shipping was.pretty.quick from what I rememberm So for you guys behind enemy lines mas defense is probably the way to go. Anyways $100-125 is still a steal for these. I like this slide way better than my Brownells slides. Would be nice if PSA offered a premium dagger slides with nitride.or 17-4 stainless. The only real down side to 17-4 is that it's rougher on tooling |

It looks like the posts are slightly larger on the Remsport, don't know if that makes a difference or not. Not sure if this helps.  I really didn't want an open slide but I wanted a factory style Attached File ETA The Remsport is shiny with oil. I can't find the blemish on the P80. |

I can't find the blemish on the P80. RemSport is good, really tight tolerances. Some of the cheap budget barrels did not drop in. But OEM, Faxon, and Rosco did without any fitting. I don't have one in an RMR cut, but I might be buying one now. I like the idea of gently tapping an optic in for a.nice fit. |

Remsports are always oily bastards  I got a G26 slide from them once and it was so shiny, it looked like Patrick Ewing after double overtime I went ahead and ordered a G17 and G19 RMR slide for $85 each. I'm assuming they are RMR only. But the way the description is, I still wasn't sure if they were dual cut as I have seen others done. I certainly wouldn't mind if a DPP would fit as I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a comp dot to go on sale for Black Friday from Scheels.

USPS tracking said it was supposed to arrive this Saturday. That's a plus! Haven't had a chance to open the package yet, running around doing pretty Thanksgiving stuff. I'll probably pull the OEM parts out of my PSA dagger SSPVD non-optic slide and see how it feels. I'll get a chance to see if they are RMR only or dual cut, but I realize it's probably RMR only and it was a typo. If the measurements look like it will fit a DPP, that I'm ordering one of the CompDOT optics tonight! |

I'll know Saturday- the forum costing me more money. Almost everyone recommended putting some sort of protection between the adjustment pieces and your slide; I've got lots of leather scraps but I'm wondering if some thin Delrin might work better.

I really wish they still had the 80% PF9SS kits, instead of the just the serialized frames- the P80 G43 frame with a Dagger Micro slide makes a really nice looking, and feeling, combination. The Micro slide is probably the best looking of all the 43/43x slides out there, they really did well on that. |

You don’t know me son, so let me explain this to you once. If I ever kill you, you’ll be awake, you’ll be facing me, and you’ll be armed.

It's close enough. I can't possibly see any issue of fitting in any holsters. I put it on my G45 frame and put it in one of my Safariland ALS holsters (non-optic, non-WML) and if it just fine. |
