First I don’t own a Dagger, nor I have gone to look at one. I will gain huge interest in it as soon as they are available with a full sized frame. Still I do look to see what people say about them and the biggest complaint I see is people say they have a hinged trigger like an M&P, etc and not a Glock style trigger. First I used to hate M&P triggers, but over time I think they got better, or I either warmed up to them, but the triggers on my Shield or FN 509 don’t offend me. My question is that PSA 5.7 Rock has a trigger that looks like a Glock trigger so why does the Dagger who’s based off a GEN3 G19 not have a trigger similar to a Glock? I’m not hating. Again I don’t mind a lot guns how have a similar trigger setup, just wonder why the Glock style trigger was given to a gun that I don’t think is Glock based, but then the gun that is based off a Glock gets a different style trigger which seems to be peoples biggest issue with the gun?
Realize that people in general love to complain. I quit paying attention to anything anyone had to say until i actually handled a dagger. As for the Rock…it is hands down the best ergonomics in my collection of handguns. It has become my daily carry gun. It is lightweight, i think the trigger is great, and i have 24 rds without a reload.
The Dagger’s trigger is a glock trigger… It can drop right in a Glock and work perfectly. It’s just a different shoe design, but the geometry and other components are the same (trigger bar, housing, spring and connector). The trigger on the Rock is 100% new and proprietary. It’s not compatible with anything else in existence (that we know of). The good news is that you can change the trigger shoe on the Dagger with ease. You can even install an oem glock shoe if that’s what you’re used to…
Hmmmm…? I might need to look at a Rock. If it’s got better ergo’s than a CZ or Walther or something like that, then that’s impressive. I just don’t want to have to invest in another round. Lol.
Yeah, I’m sure the trigger is the same or similar internally, but I was talking about the external part of the trigger where the trigger safety mechanism is. Honestly the two guns I have with that style of a trigger safety don’t offend me too the point of wanting to upgrade them for what I use them for. If they were guns I wanted to spend a lot of money modding then I would mod the trigger, but I don’t feel I need to, to be able to use them well. My FN 509 for example is a gun some people act like you need to throw an Apex trigger at it before you ever even fire the gun, but I’m like either I just got a really nice example when I bought it, or I’m just not the trigger snob that many people are, but I’m not shooting in competitions either.
I was just wondering as I found it odd that the Dagger had a hinged style trigger safety where the Rock had a Glock style trigger safety. I’m a Glock fan, but not a Glock fanboy. The thing I was always a big Glock fan for was they supported 10MM when pretty much no one else other than EAA was. S&W had quit making 10MM semi-autos, (I think they had 1 or 2 revolvers chambered in 10MM) Colt wasn’t making Delta Elites. SIG, XDM, M&P, most 1911 makers weren’t making 10MM guns, but Glock was, and I’ve always given them huge props for that. Still back to the original topic (sorry) y’all know how Glock fanboys are. If Glock says that this is how a trigger with a safety should be made then it’s hard to convince them otherwise. I just figured that PSA could of nipped this little complaint I’ve been seeing (both in video’s and honestly there are quite a few Dagger trigger upgrade threads on here) in the bud if they had gone with a trigger safety like they have on the Rock, like a Glock. (that rhymed) Honestly IMO a Glock trigger is good, but it’s not great, and I feel it’s often overrated. Even with a lighter connector and a $.25 trigger job, I don’t love it, or hate it.
