Official PSA Dagger Picture Thread

Some days, you just get lucky. Stumbled across one in stock, so I jumped.

150ish rounds downrange, and I love the gun. Great design.

Should there be wear on the slide and barrel, and a dirty barrel?

I’m assuming you mean before you shot it? Probably not, save for the test/record shot that every pistol gets. After you shoot it, yeah. It’s gonna do that. I’m gonna ask the obvious, but forgotten question: How well do you know your transfer store (assuming you didn’t buy it at a PSA store)? Any chance they wanted to test it out because it’s such a new and rare item?

The bottom line is that it will look like that after a couple mags regardless. If you haven’t shot it and it looks like that, contact PSA to see what they have to say about it.

PSA (I believe) is doing a pretty aggressive test fire on these. More than 3-5 rounds, but less than 20. I could be wrong.

Have not shot it yet and highly doubtful the FFL did, I love plenty of pistols, especially Glocks that don’t have wear like that. And I doubt testing would do that, I wonder if I got a influencer demo by mistake

You just need to get them to send you a certificate of authenticity signed by the influencer and suddenly you have a collector’s item! :sunglasses:

No, you got a test fired one. The influencer ones do not go back for sale iirc. Fwiw, when I got my FN509 it too looked like that straight from the factory.

Sorry @psujim , it stinks to pay full price and get used merchandize.

But for a Diamond Like Carbon coating, I would not expect it to give up so soon, phosphate, maybe, also look at the slide at the notch looks more beat than some test fires, I would to see some other guns and see what they look like,

Ask @Joshlovesguns but to me that looks like test firing. It’s a $300 steal of a gun. If it were mine, I would go shoot it and forget it, knowing it’s going to get a lot worse.

Edit: maybe @GamecockOperator will post a pic of his. It is unfired besides factory test firing.

And have you heard about any issues with the trigger during dry fire, pull the trigger, keep it depressed cycle the slide and about 1 out of 3 times it doesn’t reset.

I’m going to reach out to our manufacturing department and check to see what our standards are for acceptable wear. I haven’t had much hands on time with dealing with the Dagger’s yet, so I cant speak on it. As for the Trigger not resetting, this may be a warranty issue. If it is, we should be able to address everything all at the same time. I’ll post back as soon as I get some info.

I have been told that this is considered normal wear from firing.

Guys I think I figured out the barrel marks, PSA is using a barrel similar to Lone Wolf as opposed to factory G19,




You can see the LW similarities
The barrel line up was for context
L-R
SAR B6
PSA Dagger
Glock 17, Gen 1
Canik TP9SF
Glock 17 Gen 3, 2 pin
Glock 17 Gen 3, 1 pin
Lone Wolf 40 to 9 conversion barrel for G27

My understanding is they make the barrels in house. JJE did aquire the Storm Lake IP, perhaps they are using that or similar.

Wish I had a Storm Lake and a factory Glock 19 barrel to compare and test

yeah i can take some photos, what all do you wanna see on my gun?
keep in mind its been dry fired a lot, holstered a bit… but other than that nothing.

Guitar_GUy is right, that is normal wear on the hood, and when fired, developing “smileys” on the barrel is normal as well.

I checked out the profiles on the Storm Lake Glock 19 barrels, they looked flat on top like the factory Glock barrel, not a ramp like the PSA and Lone Wolf
