This is going to tag along with one of the other posts but all I can say is wow it worked and thank you to the previous thread. I don’t know if it was a coincidence but I followed the directions and got my dagger on order and On my way to the FFL!
So take a few minutes ahead of time and you may get lucky, when it comes to successfully ordering a dagger make sure your CC# shipping address and more importantly your FFL is on the list of acceptable PSA shipping destinations. From the time I saw it available and the RED add to cart button was illuminated from the time it was “sold out” was less than 10 minutes. No telling how many units they had available to ship, just reiterating how quick these things go.
Keep profile info including shipping, payment and FFL info current and updated. Create an account and or have your login info handy to minimize down time.
Iv heard (worked for me) palmetto adds any daggers available to be released at 1600 (4pm) and if you troll the site and hit the refresh button every minute at 1600 then you have a high chance of getting one. Now keep in mind your time zones, i completely forgot we are in completely time zones and from Arizona to the Carolinas is a 4 hour difference. The first day I factored that in I had my dagger ordered.
Truth be told I wanted to wait for the FDE but at this point I have been waiting since shot show 2020 so I jumped on the first chance I got. After hitting the refresh button several times one appeared (all black) it showed available at 1602 and went “out of stock” at 1611 it could have been sooner that was just the next time I looked after my order was placed. I Looked a few more times waiting for the FDE version but no luck. After shipping and tax I’m in at 355.17$ After the 10$ FFL transfer ( 1st responder discount) I’ll be in at 365.17.
If your serious then keep your eyes peeled at 1600 Easter standard time.
I put in for notification, and I got the emails, and within 30 seconds of the email coming in, I clicked on the link.
No dice. Sold out already.
This thing makes hotcakes look slow moving.
Ya unfortunately by the time the emails are sent out the people trolling the site at 4pm EST have grabbed the few that are available to ship. I have looked at few times for S**** and giggles and I’d say 50% of the time they are available for maybe 10/15 min. I signed up for emails repeatedly and never got anything (still never got an email) …. Then i started trolling the site at 4pm and got one the 2nd day I knew what time to look.
The OP is solid advice. I setup my account with ccn, ffl, address etc. Checked stock at 4:05 and had mine on order by 4:07. I had not received an email notice even though I was signed up for it.
Refreshed yesterday around 2:30PM Eastern and lo and behold, they showed the 2 tone gray being in stock. I have an order number but still showing processing not shipped. SO I reckon the 4PM thing is not set in stone. They lasted about 10 minutes before going out of stock again.
They do occasionally throw some on the site, but I’ve noticed it’s like clockwork at 4pm on every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. They do release on other days, but almost always on those three.
I see we crashed their website today. I thought I’d check about 1545, and got a “we’re protected” message. The server must have thought we were a denial of service attack.
Picked up the Dagger from my FFL today.
Have not shot it yet…perhaps tomorrow if weather co-operates.
Very impressed by build quality and level of finish.
Anyone know what brand of lube or grease they use at the factory? That was impressive too.
Range report:
Got to shoot the Dagger today.
Put about 50-60 rounds through it.
It functioned flawlessly. And it shot very accurately as a combat gun.
I shot it more accurately than I have shot the numerous G19’s I’ve had.
I am very pleased with the Dagger.
I don’t know about Monday…but Tues and Wed no Daggers have dropped. As well, Wed. Thurs. and Friday of last week.
Have they no supply or are they dropping them at a different time now? Or are they simply waiting till the “free shipping” is over?
In addition to checking the PSA web site between 1:30 and 2:30 pm MST, I highly recommend joining the ARPartsHub Discord server. You will receive a notification when the Dagger drops. You can also see the entire history (date and time) of when the Dagger has dropped in the past. Of course, everyone talks about 2:00 pm MST, but the Dagger also drops early in the morning and late in the evening … up to four times in a day.
Here’s the last ten Dagger drops (according to the Discord server),
1:34 pm MST
1:37 pm MST
6:17 am MST
1:33 pm MST
4:44 am MST
2:05 pm MST
2:00 pm MST
9:21 pm MST
10:25 am MST
1:16 pm MST
The Dagger is in stock for the shortest amount of time around 2:00 pm MST because that time is so widely publicized. We’ve seen the Dagger in stock for well over an hour at other times.
