The PSA Micro Dagger is a popular compact pistol, and like any firearm accessory, its magazines can sometimes be a point of contention among users. Here are some common problems or negative feedback reported with the PSA Micro Dagger 15 round magazines:
Common Issues and Negative Feedback
Feeding Issues:
Failure to Feed (FTF): Some users have reported issues with rounds not feeding properly into the chamber, causing jams and malfunctions. This can be due to weak magazine springs or poorly designed feed lips.
Double-Feeds: Instances of double-feeds, where two rounds are attempted to be fed at once, have been noted, leading to jams.
Spring Tension:
Weak Springs: Over time, magazine springs can weaken, leading to unreliable feeding. Some users have reported that the springs in these magazines lose tension faster than expected.
Stiff Springs: Conversely, some users find the springs to be too stiff initially, making it difficult to load the magazine to full capacity.
Fit and Finish:
Compatibility: There have been reports of the magazines not fitting flush or securely in the magazine well of some PSA Micro Dagger pistols, causing issues with reliability.
Material Quality: Some users have expressed concerns about the durability and quality of the materials used in the magazines, noting issues like cracking or warping of the magazine body.
Magazine Follower:
Sticking Followers: The magazine follower can sometimes stick, preventing rounds from feeding properly. This can be due to debris, poor manufacturing tolerances, or rough surfaces inside the magazine body.
Ejection Issues:
Failure to Eject: Some users have experienced issues with the magazine not dropping free when the magazine release is pressed. This can be frustrating during quick reloads.
General Reliability:
Inconsistent Performance: Overall, some users have found the performance of the PSA Micro Dagger 15 round magazines to be inconsistent, with occasional failures that undermine confidence in their reliability.
Mitigation and Solutions
Regular Maintenance: Regularly clean and inspect magazines to ensure they are free of debris and functioning properly. This can help mitigate some feeding and follower issues.
Upgraded Springs: Consider upgrading to higher-quality aftermarket springs if weak or overly stiff springs are a problem.
Break-In Period: Some magazines may require a break-in period where springs and components settle into place. This can sometimes resolve initial stiffness or feeding issues.
Manufacturer Support: If persistent issues are encountered, reaching out to Palmetto State Armory (PSA) for support or replacement can be helpful. They may provide solutions or replacements for defective magazines.
Summary
While the PSA Micro Dagger 15 round magazines generally perform well for many users, some common issues include feeding problems, spring tension inconsistencies, fit and finish concerns, sticking followers, and ejection issues. Regular maintenance, potential upgrades, and breaking in new magazines can help address some of these concerns. For persistent issues, contacting PSA for support or replacements is advisable.

I just did a test with these mags. They ran great! Unfortunately they can’t handle a drop test. Sucks cause the price is great on these.

Sir, thank you for commenting. Glad to hear that they ran OK. However, if you did a drop test and they fell apart, that’s not exactly winning endorsement. As I mentioned in this video, these are relegated to a training role only. I will never use them in a everyday carry scenario.
Once a magazine continually fails, it gets relegated for range use only or trashed. I wouldn't purchase that aftermarket brand again. Confidence in that brand is compromised. Even if the company sends replacement mags/repair kits, I wouldn't trust them for EDC use.

Yes, sir, I have the same exact attitude. I am not buying another PSA magazine for the reasons you mentioned. These two magazines are related to a training role, but as a pointed out in the video, I would never trust my life to them. Thank you for commenting.
I have 3 PSA mags and while they've all fed perfectly in my 43X not once in 200 rounds have I had the slide lock back when empty. The only other person I've seen with PSA mags at the range I work at had the exact same issue with his G48. I don't carry my 43X because the trigger sucks but if I did I'd only use Glock mags.

Hey Frank, thank you so much for sharing your experience and feedback. If you wanna upgrade your 43X try the defender trigger from Glock Triggers Inc. I did a review on this a couple weeks ago and it’s truly an amazing upgrade to the stock trigger. Thanks for commenting. Stay safe. PS. If you haven’t already, I hope you will consider subscribing to channel and sharing it with friends and family.

Black magazine won't lock back when I am empty but my slick two tone one locks back fine
I spent good money on Shield Arms mags to find out they don't work for me. These don't give me much confidence either... Glock mags work, I'll probably just stick with those.

I bought 2 Shield Arms Z9 mags for my Glock 43 about a year and a half ago and had 11 failures to feed in the first 120 rounds. I will never waste my money on their G43X/48 mags.

Thank you so much for sharing your insights and perspective. I have found the GEN three mags work very well. I’ve heard problems associated with the earlier versions, but I think they fixed it with the GEN threes. I’ve not had any issues with them at all and have put several hundred rounds through them. so far so good. Thank you for taking the time to comment. I hope you will consider subscribing to channel sharing it with friends and family.
Keep em fully loaded for 3+ months.........

Actually training the magazine Springs is a different process. You load the magazine to 13 rounds, in the case of the 15 round magazine, let it sit for 24 hours unload and do that again. You do that for three or four days… then the magazine springs are trained. Loading magazines and keeping them for months or years is not problematic for the spring. What fatigues the spring mags is loading and unloading them multiple times in the course of firing. I’ve shot AR , and Glock mags that have been loaded for eight years. Fully loaded. Took them out shot the…they performed great. No issues. The PSA magazines have been problematic and are fine for training, but I would not bet my life on them. I think the spring tension is too light and the followers are not doing what they should be doing. These magazines are brand new with less than 120 rounds thru them ….And have new followers, they are simply not the quality magazine that you bet your life on. Thank you for watching.
