This a very intriguing entry at a very attractive price point. I noticed he included a disclaimer about not having any problems with his guns and intimating that some folks can break an anvil with a feather. When manufacturers send out a T&E item their vested interest is making sure that it should perform flawlessly for the review. It's not Sootches doing, it's the companies sending out the T&E guns. This particular one was heavily oiled and call me suspicious, but I think they went over it very closely and oiled it down prior to shipping. Not thinking that when I order one that it will arrive quite the same. This doesn't mean that the one I buy would necessarily be a piece of junk, just that it hadn't been thoroughly checked out prior to shipment and might possibly have some production issues not present in the T&E gun. I used to do computer equipment reviews and know first hand that what they sent to me for testing and evaluation had already been checked out before sending it out to help garner positive reviews that aid in sales. It's the name of the game. I believe Sootch is giving a fair review of the stuff sent to him, but ask yourself how confident are you that the one you can buy off the shelf will be as flawless as the T&E version?

[@colinhess8900]

@@TCLe Oh no doubt. I doubt it’ll be as reliable as a glock whenever it does hit the market, It’s the more ergonomic frame, and metal sights from the factory. I know glock has changed the internals over the years, but the biggest change over the generations is whether it has finger grooves or not. That’s not ingenuity, that’s lazy design work. Especially for how much a glock costs for a civilian. If you’re going to drop 500-600 on a handgun, just get an M&P 2.0. For LEOs I get it, because glocks are sub 400 for them.

[@wanderingcalamity360]

@@TCLe Unfortunately, you're absolutely correct.

[@pewpewTN]

Glock has improved the design several times. The newest Gen 5s are super nice. The fact that you think "finger grooves" are the biggest change shows me you probably don't actually shoot Glocks, but here is a good example. Take the Glock 23 for instance. Changes made from Gen 4 to Gen 5. Gen 5, made the slide wider & heavier. Changed multiple trigger components. Changed the barrel. Made slide stop Ambi. Changed the finish. Added front slide serrations. Added MOS option. Changed accessory rail. Added flared magwell.

[@PatriotPaulUSA]

Excellent review as always from Sootch! Here we are a year later and there is several 1-3000 round or more reviews. Looks like Palmetto has a winner with the Dagger. Personally I would much rather buy a USA made, highly improved Glock, for almost half the price. It just shows what Glock could do after 40yrs, if they tried. As a doublestack 1911 fan, I am looking for a decent optics ready poly pistol for the truck, car, boat and summertime use. Its down to the Dagger or the G3 Toro. I am leaning towards the Dagger as it comes with high height sights, and threaded barrel over the Taurus. Dagger has the Glock parts aftermarket, now has full FDE available too. I may just buy my first "Glock" from Palmetto! If Palmetto comes out with their 1911 grip angle frame , I will pick one of those up too! Thank goodness Glocks patents expired, now we can get some frame and slide improvements and better prices and support US companies, and US manufacturing. Thanks Sootch, I appreciate your testing and thoughts as a long time reviewer, shooter. My dollars are limited at this point.

The looseness at 9:45 from slide to frame is necessary for good reliability. Testing has found that a loose fit in that area doesn't affect accuracy and helps ensure good reliability. Where you want it to be tight fitting is the barrel lock up on the slide. The reason you get wiggle at the front isn't due to slide to frame fit at all, it's about how tight the recoil rod is.

I got lucky. I snagged one today. I checked the website....because why not....and it was in stock. I can't wait to get it.

For the price and built in the USA this is GOOD thumbs up, shared and thank you for the video. :)

Don your reviews are always on point. If i want a gun and you dont have the video i wont get it. Until i see your review. Thanks for the good work man.

[@derekray7144]

I watch your videos to get the positive side of a gun and a good description, even if I'm skeptical. If the pistol has any problems there are plenty of other channels that will publish it. I think consistency in your videos is what keeps most subscribers.

[@gerardovega2453]

Got excited about the video, excellent content and breakdown, I made me go look at psa in case it was in stock lol

Thanks Gerardo! They are saying these should be in stock soon. Hopefully sooner than later.

I've read that the polymer guide rods actually help with reliability and that most of the issues with malfunctions have to do with aftermarket guide rods

Dang sonnnn 299.00. Gonna be sold out foooevva. Can we get a long version. Woohooo seems better than a reg glock. The beaver tail off the back is much needed for fat hands and welcomed. Good work PSA

It's not going to be better than a glock because Palmetto has shitty quality control.

[@stmichale6192]

I remember the smith sigma and sd9ve being called the “poor man’s Glock” back in the day…and then the polymer 80 stuff came out and we started to see that take over, and now this… it’s a beautiful era for guns when things like this are possible…and yet people will still buy Glock, me included..but it’s awesome to have options such as this. The true poor man’s Glock is here people!

[@LatinoJackson]

I like how even Glock clones are beating out OG Glocks. "Perfection" they say.....

[@kuuryotwo5153]

Glock calls it perfect, ceases to innovate. Those that 'clone' them, seek to improve on the design. I can't say I'm surprised.

[@dude...are-you-sure]

Sootch musta been one of the first to review this hotly anticipated pistol. Basically it's psa's g19 at a super affordable price psa style. Which is lower than most used glock!!

[@357STEPS]

So much for the email letting me know they're ready lol

[@EEDad401]

Yup. I asked to be notified when they first announced it at shot show over a year ago. Never got the email. Just signed up to be notified again. SMH.

[@kirkbodendorfer5313]

Right!?!?

[@100fredkrueger]

For those that complain about PSA always being out of stock. Check their website starting around 2 o’clock everyday. That is around the time they add new inventory. You just have to keep checking it until it comes in. Works for me every time.

[@theordinarydude2104]

They had to use a crappy hinged trigger…I changed the one out in my cheap S&W and it’s far better for it. Lose the hinged trigger.

[@stevemaslow703]

got my sd9 used, barely fired with Talon grips and Apex trigger and spring kit for 300...fantastic gun

@@thebeastondrums the PSA notification system takes one hour to notify people after something is in stock. It's unreliable because they always sell out before notifications are sent.

[@sparkynapalm3662]

These are the issues I had with my PSA Dagger (BTW I had two video reviews critical of this pistol and terrible PSA customer service experience posted on my channel) I can only assume someone from PSA or someone that knows me or where I work contacted MY employer. I was ORDERED TO TAKE THE VIDEOS DOWN OR FACE DISCIPLINE. In any event...here are the issues I identified with my Dagger. 1. Excessively long take up on the trigger before the break. 2. The slide squats in the rear and torques/twists when the trigger is pulled during the take up. 3. The barrel moves or can be moved when the barrel and slide are in "lock up" where everything should be tightly fitted for accuracy. 4. The mag moves excessively front to back when it is in the mag well. When shooting....I had a fully seated and locked in mag....fall completely out of the gun one time and almost fall out a second time. I had 4 failure to feeds out of one mag when using some hollow points. To be fair....overall the gun was accurate when shooting....actually more accurate that I thought it would be.

[@Mike_The_Hog_A_Nator]

At $299 I'm a get 1 eventually, the 1 thing that does concern me is the from slide lift as you pull the trigger, when it stacks? The front of the slide will lift them fall as you follow through with the trigger press. Which will shift your point of aim & impact at further out distances

[@wickedbeernut]

Yes, this is worrisome and is clearly illustrated in this video from the Carolina Gun Guy. Has PSA acknowledged this publicly? kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWfLi4SDe85om7s
