    What you are actually harping on has more to do with variance from product to product rather than product design reliability. The dagger design is fine. What isn’t is the variance from one unit to the next which results in some guns running without issue and others being terrible. In either case, the golden prerequisite for the decision to carry a gun should be have you shot it extensively and has that individual weapon proven its reliability to you.

    You say daggers are "budget" firearms. What specifically makes them "budget" other am than the price. Meaning what quality sacrifices were made? As far as i was aware, they're identical to Glock 19 Gen 3. I've thrown hundreds of rounds through my dagger and have never had a malfunction, failure to feed or eject, or any issue. Does the cost of a firearm definitively dictate the quality?

I will put my Daggers (new) up against any of these used paper weights. If you carry every day, the XD's are like carrying a boat anchor around your waist. I ankle carried the XD subcompact for a while when I was young and stupid.

    I mean the dagger is a Glock gen 3 clone, built here in the states rather than overseas. I don’t know that I fully get behind the idea of advising someone buy a used gun over a brand new Glock clone due to reliability or consistency. Depending on what the previous owner changed or messed with, that may or may not be true.
    And the whole notion that people don’t need a red dot for self defense is almost like the 1911 fudds talking about how you don’t need a tacticool weapon light for a defense handgun.

      If you have an issue with PSA, you’re entitled to feel that way. Like them or not, they do more for our second amendment rights than any company just about. They put out a lot of cool stuff, and do a lot of the manufacturing without the resources of big companies like HK, Glock, etc.

    Th reason Glocks don’t have problems is because it’s the same pistol that came out in the early 80s literally the exact same. It better not have any issues after 40 years. But Glock is scared to innovate because they know reliability is all they have. Just like Toyota of the car world. Other firearm brands actually take chances and innovate that benefits all firearm owners. They might have some hiccups on the way in the beginning but they get ironed out. But atleast they have the balls to actually innovate. And saying 50% of p365’s all have problems is bologna you pulled that number out your ass.

    I do like your reasoning behind not getting a dagger but one thing to keep in mind is that glock parts fit on the dagger, you can exchange almost every part with glock parts so if reliability is the issue than buy a dagger and throw a few glock parts on it. Also because the parts are exchangeable you can put a glock barrel adapter in to take different size rounds since glock offers that.

      ​@@MikoFiticusI'd say it's 100% true. You won't be using iron sights either cause you'll be point-shooting. The only time you'll use any sights is when you have cover, aren't currently being shot at, and when you know fairly well where the threat is and you have your wits collected. Most people think they'll be John Rambo, but the fact is that you'll be spraying and praying with your first mag in a firefight. Even if you get the red dot up you won't be using it to aim cause you'll be throwing rounds rapidly. The only use it will serve, if any, is to give you a reference for your cone of fire. Don't delude yourself.

That one dude who shot that active shooter at the mall probably wished he had a dot. He got it done, but he absolutely aimed deliberately. To just say 100% of the time you won't look down sights is just plain stupid. Same with saying you will use your sights 100% of the time. The truth is somewhere inbetween. Spend time and train.

    I really want to like your channel, but I can't completely agree with a Glock fan boy (aka, SPN Firearms). Nothing very helpful was shared, tbh. While I agree the PSA Dagger isn't as reliable as the Glock, it's made to be bugdet friendly (unlike Glocks). But you can solve alot of your complaints by merely replacing parts in the Dagger with Glock OEM parts, for example, the firing pin. I'm tired of hearing you complain about how guns, including the Dagger, are not just like your "perfect" Glock.

      if you dont have the 500$+ for a new glock he gave the example of buying an older used one. for 300 whatever dollars he paid for it. you get the glock reliability for a cheap price. i believe that's the point he was trying to make. i think you'd end up spending more money buying a dagger for 350$ then swapping Glock parts into it. But I agree with you, not everything needs to be glock, I think an STR-9C would be a better choice for the price than a dagger, however.

    The psa dagger is every bit as reliable as a Glock... as long as you do your own quality control and utilize psa's excellent customer service. Glocks warranty their guns for 1 year, psa is for life. The dagger sometimes has some sent out that aren't so great. Go out shooting, make sure it's functioning, and if it is it's good. The dagger is as good, or better, than a Glock... from a certain point of view.

The point of the dagger is to get everything that makes a pistol awesome basically for free
    All that extra for glocks are definitely gonna put u over a rack as far as cash. But the biggest point is it’s still new enough they need the reviews for the product’s quality control.

Training, ammo, range time etc. is going to cost plenty so don’t skimp $100-$200 on your carry gun. If it’s your range gun or whatever then go for it! Personally, I’d buy more ammo but that’s just me. I do love PSA though, the AAC ammo has been great at the range!

    Active self protection John can’t stand when yall say you’re not using your sights in self defense lol. Not every scenario is face to face so it’s better to prepare for distance because then you’re ready for close encounters as well, then even at close distance you still want to see your sights which is where red dots are far superior.
    Look at the dude who just got killed by getting ran over. He was shooting at a dude sitting in a truck 5 feet away and missed all 5 shots because he didn’t look at sights and was point shooting.
    Side note - if you vet your gun, you’re fine. I’ve had a dagger slide on a Glock frame for a year and have about 3k through it without experiencing a single malfunction to date. I trust my life to it fully.

The reason they are so cheap is because they ship them direct instead of having a middle man like firearm stores across the nation or using a separate distributor. And yes, Sig always has issues with new models, but after 6-8 years, those defects and malfunctions subside once they fix them in the manufacturing process. I dont trust this guy for firearm advice
