New Dagger, slide won't rack or trigger reset

I was shooting it for the first time with a ETS magazine, after 25 of so shots, it jammed with one round in the chamber and one round in the magazine. I could’t rack the slide back to clear the round, so I removed the slide altogether and cleared. After putting the slide back on, the slide won’t reach back. Any idea as to the fix?

Can you post some pictures? Having a hard time envisioning your issue.

If you couldn’t rack the slide back to clear the round, how exactly did you remove the slide without dropping the sear, and thereby firing the chambered round? If you couldn’t rack the slide back, you couldn’t get to the firing pin spacer sleeve, so how did the slide come off? Confused…

The slide comes


back about an 1/8th of an inch the stops. I compared the internals to the internals of a G19 gen 1 and nothing looks amiss really. I am not an expert, just trying to figure out WTF.

So the slide will go on completely, but you are then not able to rack the slide fully to the rear to chamber a new round? Am I understanding that correctly?

Correct. It will come back an 1/8th of an inch or so, just enough to remove it.

And where is the trigger when you try it? Has it reset?

Trigger has not reset.

Reset the trigger manually and try it.

If you reset it manually and it still doesnt work right, or if you have any other issues, PM me your order number and I’ll get it set up to be brought in and looked at by our repair team.

Welcome to the forums, sorry it was under these conditions.
