Just got my first Dagger last week. Trigger seems no better or worse than my Glock triggers. Given many of the early reviews complained of bad, gritty triggers I’m wondering if PSA has changed anything on the triggers over the course of a couple of years? On my example I’m just not feeling what others have complained about.
My trigger had a light mushy feel on delivery day, but after dry firing, and then a few hundred rounds, it feels like a good everyday carry trigger. Mine pulls between 5lbs-6lbs, which is ideal for an EDC imo.

I just got back from shooting and I noticed I would not let the trigger reset completely sometimes and then it seemed mushy/not snappy.
I then made a point of allowing trigger to reset back all the way and then it felt /functioned fine with a solid wall and release
I polished my stock Dagger triggers following the advice in this web article: How To Do a Glock Trigger Job. My Dagger triggers feel smoother and break more crisply.
After finally daring to remove the Dagger trigger, I see why they get better with use. As for reducing the force needed to trip the trigger, I don’t think so. Since the Dagger has no manually safety, I think a stiffer trigger pull helps lessen the likelihood of accidental discharge, or firing when dropped.
The smoother trigger makes for better control and probably a slight improvement in accuracy. Polishing the stock trigger is a worthwhile step to see how a trigger improvement affects your shooting. Maybe after doing the polish job, you’ll decided that you still want to try a fancy (read “expensive” or maybe even “overpriced”) aftermarket trigger assembly.
Notice that the guy in the video is using a roll of tape instead of a bench block. I’m sure this will cause some acrimony since this is “wrong.” Personally, I do see the logic of using something more solid, which is why I made this for my Daggers:
It’s a piece of scrap from the wood box but it does the job. Plus, since it’s wood, I can write notes on it! 
Anyway, give the trigger component polishing project a try and see how much it helps.

I’ll admit I was an early critic of the trigger and I haven’t shot one of the newer run Daggers but upgrading or changing the trigger is very minor.
The Dagger trigger reminds me of something between the Glock and the S&W Sigma. Has all the pre-travel of the Sigma, but the reset of a Glock.
