Dagger optic cut slide review.

Nice. Been wanting to get one of these to get into the red dot pistol game.

Really hard to beat the price on what you get. Bought the Doctor cut slide when it was the deal of the day sale $200, the RMR slide was $220. Really nice finish and steel optic/suppressor hight Ameriglo sights included.

Seen a lot of positive reviews on the PSA daggers, really seems to be the best value in Glock clones out there. I had a coupon for the Truglo optic, all together for that gun. Frame, lower parts kit, complete slide, optic and mp mag cost me $445 plus another $20-30 in shipping. Hard to beat that, especially if it continues to run like it did today.

The daggers are generally a great deal. The frames have some issues (primarily pins walking on earlier gens) and the slides have some internal parts that are prone to breaking (I've broken a few firing pins). That said for the price range they work great. Some accuracy issues at 25 yards (harder to score 90+ on hat qual) but that said not a deal breaker. Do wish the actual frames would fit G19 holsters.

How many rounds did you fire before a firing pin broke?

I was all set to go the route OP did, P80 frame, etc but then PSA runs this deal:

PSA Dagger Compact 9mm RMR Pistol w/ 10 PMAG 27rd/15rd Magazines & PSA Pistol Bag

$399.99

Even if you figure the mags at $15 each, the gun is only $250!

I'm just glad the threaded barrel version isn't on sale.

I had 3 broken firing pins total. Different uppers

First one broke in 300 rounds. Replacement has been fine through 3k rounds

Second one broke at 1k rounds. Replacement broke at 700. Replacement has been fine on 250 or so round

I think they like everyone else just had some bad parts run

I track my rounds fired too, so if I break a FP I’ll post up the round count.

I think anytime you venture away from OE (Glock) your chances of getting a bad part or two are fairly high. Both of my P80 lower parts kits had bad connectors, would get intermittent failures to reset. Replaced them with a couple stock Glock connectors I had and the problem went away. Bad batch of connectors or just lower quality, could be either or both. I think it’s just something you need to be aware of when dealing with clones.

When I first test fired them, I started with one round in the mag. Then two, then 4 just in case I had a run away trigger. Can’t be too careful.

Yeah this is smart once you venture away from oem glock it can be really random. Buddy has a very respected after market trigger. Turns his glock into a gen 18 by accident

I almost turned my Colt Govt model into a full auto. The firing pin had gotten peened and stuck forward to become a fixed firing pin. I was about to drop the slide when a little tickle in the back of my neck told me to check things first. Don't tell me the Lord doesn't look after fools and drunks (I was cold sober).
