    100% agree with ya on the trigger comparison. The smooth face on the Dagger is so much nicer compared to a stock tabbed Glock trigger, and mine has smoother in to where it’s a nice roll-through with no stacking. I treat it like a shorter DA trigger and it’s much more shootable that way than treating it like a single action striker for instance. Personally the Dagger trigger to me is significantly superior to the stock Glock trigger in almost every way. Looking forward to the range review, and knew I had to watch as soon as I got the notification! 👌🏻

    If the gun isn’t reliable during your range session, it is probably due to those P Mags. I had a Shadow Systems MR918 that had all kinds of feeding problems when I first shot it. I couldn’t figure it out. Then I put in a factory Glock mag, and it ran fine. It sounds great that they gave you that many mags, but in my experience, they are pretty worthless. Anyway, I appreciate your videos. My goal wasn’t to criticize the gun. I am sure it woks fine, but it needs quality magazines. Keep up the good work. I look forward to your next video.

    Another commenter said he got his holster off Ebay. My go-to holster company is Muddy River Tactical. (I've done a review on their holsters - great, fast shipping.) They list the Dagger as one model their holsters will fit. Also, a quick Google search shows them available from We The People and CYA Supply. Palmetto State Armory also has some on their website.

    Looks like a neat spin on a Glock, not too wild about the side cut outs for the mag & should have straight grip. I think i'd rather opt for a used G19. When you said it came with 10 mags I did a spit take.

  • @RidersRange

    With the right "budget" gun - Canik, PSA, Taurus, Sarsilmaz - the only concern I would have is longevity - how long it will run before something breaks. Considering how much most folks shoot, guns by any of those manufacturers shouldn't be a problem, but the jury is still out whether or not most will hold up to 50+ thousand rounds. The only company I know of that has done longevity testing is Sarsilmaz (imported through SAR USA) testing the SAR9 to 50,000 rounds. So far, I've been very happy with my SAR9 Mete.
