I had the firing pin break on my Dagger while dry firing shortly after I got it. I know others have also. I read that the Dagger firing pin is slightly wider at the tip than the Glock pin. Does anybody know if the Glock firing pin works in the dagger? I have a Shadow Systems firing pin that I’m thinking of using. I believe it matches Glock dimensions. Thanks for any help on this.
OEM glock firing pins will work in the Dagger slide. The Shadow Systems firing pin is different I believe… Unless SS used different firing pins for their different models, I would avoid using it in the Dagger. The Dagger’s firing pin is like $12 on the website. Pick up a spare the next time you place an order
Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I did have a spare Dagger firing pin so that’s in the gun now. So far it hasn’t broken, but hasn’t been used much either. I read that the Dagger part is MIM. I was hoping to get a machined part that wasn’t MIM. MIM parts can be good, but there can be some inherent flaws in the metal which can cause parts to break. The firing pin that I had break had some internal metal that looked like slag. I’ve carried Glocks since the 1980’s, and never had a firing pin fail. I just want to find something I would trust in an EDC gun.
Dagger firing pins are not MIM. They are a milled part.

Are you sure? Even Glock is using MIM now. It would be nice if the description on the PSA web site would say what it is. I ordered a milled stainless striker from AIM Surplus last night. On sale for $15.95. When Glock was using a machined striker I never had one break, or heard of anybody else having one break. I was on a 575 officer law enforcement department, and never heard of any striker problems. Dry firing was an accepted practice.
it was only this year that I heard of problems with strikers breaking in Glocks, and Glock clones.
I have had Glock firing pins break. You have to shoot anything and test it before you trust your life to a piece of equipment
