Seriously. Are PSA Daggers good pistols?

I'm considering picking up one of these packages they're selling but is it a reliable pistol? This package has a too good to be true vibe and I'm skeptical of the quality.

Thoughts?

Most other polymer pistols are just priced with a hefty profit margin. I'd be shocked if Glock spent $75 on a Glock, I have seen them manufactured, well as much as Glock will show someone that doesn't work for Glock.

Handgun of the OB. Supposed to be a Glock gen 3 clone

Glocks go from a manufacturer to a distributor to and dealer.

PSA is the manufacturer, dealer and distributor.

I’ve heard good things, I’m trying to decide between that or trying out their 5.7 pistol, they have one with a threaded barrel and red dot come on sale from time to time that has caught my eye.

It’s not the level of my H&K but for the price I like it better than my ruger. Fits my hand well and shoots pretty damn good and for the price you can’t beat them. You can pretty much always find one for sub $400 and it comes with a soft case and 10 mags when you get the daily deal.

Have shot a few and own one. Have not had any issues with functionality. For the price and quality, it is hard to beat.

I just got a dagger compact 9mm about a month ago. Just a few hundred rounds through it so far but haven't had a single hiccup. Love the feel and accuracy. Got the deal with the threaded barrel and ten mags. I'm a fan.

I might have some experience with that model...

Dealers selling at MAP are only making $45ish per Glock. Distributors make LESS. Glock is in a very comfortable position. There are a couple times a year a dealer can buy discounted Glocks and make a few bucks on them, but it is limited in what models you can get and they don't always come through with the order...

This is the one I ordered after the last thread about these.

It should arrive today. It took about 8 days to physically ship after ordering.

$359.99

$425 with tax, FFL, etc.

On topic/off topic: how do y’all have these shipped to you? Do I just go to a local ship with an FFL and ask if they’ll do it?

Pretty much.

You request a copy of their FFL license, scan it and email it to PSA if they've never taken shipment from PSA.

Once their paperwork is filed and approved with PSA, you just shop and ship. The FFL guy will call you to come do paperwork when it arrives at his shop. It's good practice to let the FFL guy know you are sending something his way if you get him signed up and decide to make another purchase later.

Most do it for about $25/transfer.

Yeah. I did notice that, but that was the the one I wanted.

I was hoping a similar one would pop up on a daily deal, but I just went ahead and paid the shipping.

Very pleased. It looks good. The FDE is not as tan as the website would lead you to believe.

The picture on the website compared to what I got...





Even in my pic the natural light makes it look brighter than what you see holding it in your hand. It's truly a flat, dark earth color. I like it.

Also, Academy has 100 rounds of winchester 115 gr fmj for 29.99 or 200 rds for 57.99.
