I decided to put a Taran Tactical connector in my PSA Dagger. Before part replacement, the firearm functioned perfectly. After replacing the connector, it had the same issue as you had..trigger would not fire. Put the original back in and firearm functions perfectly. Was a pain trying to get the slide off, ended up removing all the pins and pulled slide off the top.

[@jonathangiles00]

Had the same problem, should have know after purchased when trigger felt “spongy”. Please post Psa reaction. Have had great customer service from them in the past. Thanks again for video

[@ArrowheadPondResto]

PSA failed to email me back. Couple other students in class had same issues no responses as well

[@ArrowheadPondResto]

post 5 weeks PSA will not email me back

[@therealhumblekidd]

change the trigger to the over watch trigger

[@ArrowheadPondResto]

@@therealhumblekidd I fixed it no need to change it

Just ordered an psa slide makes me have 2nd thoughts is it that bad ?

[@ArrowheadPondResto]

@@Trytooaimforcenter slide should be fine. It's milled metal from cnc

[@Trytooaimforcenter]

@ArrowheadPondResto so u think the build should be fine I'm doing it all separate? Gonna order the frame next week so u saying the trigger that comes with it is rough?

[@SteveCraighead]

​@@Trytooaimforcenternot rough just mushy

[@Sandhill1988]

I just ended up building three pistols based on these frames. And I have to concur the internals are absolute bear bones minimum adequate at best, and that's being kind.. The trigger bars and all the metal components in the sear assembly are garbage. Had to replace all of my trigger bar assemblies with P80's, One of them I couldn't get to reset reliably until I installed a Glock connector. How many more pennies would it take to make better internals... Come on PSA step it up.

If I get a Glock 19 gen 3 trigger well my trigger stop locking wen I shoot because I’m running Glock 19 gen 3 slide on the psa dagger frame

[@Sandhill1988]

@@Godfaith12 All those parts should be compatible. The PSA Dagger is a gen 3 Glock clone. I use a lot of oem glock parts in mine, and i've got six dagger frames. In fact i'm running three glock uppers on some of my dagger lowers. And those lowers have all glock Internal's in them for the most part.

[@CrankyFranky]

How would it fair if you took a PSA Dagger (Slide and Frame) ran it with Glock internals only in the slide? As it sits I have the safety plunger and safety plunger spring, the firing pin assembly, the extractor, and the extractor plunger, to top it off I have the slide plate all originating from an eBay Gen 3 slide I found.

[@KJK_ATX]

I am having the exact same problem and I am frustrated as all get out. It worked fine until I dropped a Timany trigger in and I haven’t got it to work properly since. Am at my wits end.

[@ArrowheadPondResto]

There are gunsmith back plates that are clear they help diagnose issues.

[@markpenalora2499]

I had the same problem with a micro dagger and a Glock 43 trigger and trigger housing. I’m wondering if I need to try again! This video gave me hope

[@ArrowheadPondResto]

I hope it helps.

[@thetattooedguy1413]

I’m kinda having the same issue. New Dagger compact sw2 - never been shot. I was breaking it down to oil it and was gonna go to the range. My wife was bitching and I was trying to pay attention to her and put the slide on and I didn’t get it all the way lined up correctly and it went on and got stuck. Finally got it unstuck and then started having the issue when I go to break it down the slide only moves forward like an inch. Barely enough to even begin to see the cross. And what’s weird is, when I go to take the slide off and it does that if I put my hand on the end of the barrel and push down then it raises the other end up just enough to slide down. Not sure what’s going on. Guess I’ll take to take it to a gunsmith.

[@slindenman]

How do you remove the rear slide cover? When I use the typical Glock technique, I can’t seem to move the spring down with my punch to slide the cover out of the way.

[@904duval8]

It's literally the same way as the Glock slide

[@ArrowheadPondResto]

Same process as a Glock i can make a video of how I do ill get it done this week for you

[@JayKennedy-vr5ej]

I got to try that in the morning think thats whats wrong good video

[@ArrowheadPondResto]

@@JayKennedy-vr5ej were you able to fix it?

[@simplekustomsbyeddiepapand1838]

Never had a problem with my !!

[@ArrowheadPondResto]

Some do some don't, This is a very common problem though for the Daggers

[@epps1217]

I can't get the locking block pin out. They pop right out on my Glocks. How hard do you have to hit it?

[@ArrowheadPondResto]

It takes some force with hammer and punch. PSA dangers they are roll pins not push pins like glocks

[@calvinpierre779]

Man I know this video is old but I recently purchased a combat armory complete slide, they sent me only the slide no recoil spring or barrel, emailed them and they said they’d replace it, I swapped out the barrel and recoil spring from my psa dagger and put it in the CA19 slide, it slid in no problem the first time on the dagger frame. as soon as I disassembled it and tried to put it on da dagger frame again it wouldn’t lock back all the way and rack the slide no more not sure if anyone can give me some advice or tips of what the issue might be, I’d really appreciate it 😪✊🏽

[@ArrowheadPondResto]

@calvinpierre779 video less than a year old. Little confused in what started with. Correct me if I'm wrong. Dagger frame and putting on capital armory slide.

[@ArrowheadPondResto]

@calvinpierre779 check recoil spring is fully seated up against barrel

[@calvinpierre779]

@@ArrowheadPondResto yes its a combat armory slide on a psa dagger frame

[@calvinpierre779]

@@ArrowheadPondResto and yes the recoil spring was on correct it was good the first time I put it together but after I took it apart it didn’t lock back all the way in place

[@ArrowheadPondResto]

@calvinpierre779 you can message me video of slide frame and issue on FB. Same name on FB Arrowhead Pond Restoration

[@averagejoe3446]

I had to work both the disconnect and raise and lower the rear tab of the cross to get mine to work and at that is 85% reliable either the striker rides to high or its to low finding a sweet spot on a PSA Dagger is a nightmare.

[@ArrowheadPondResto]

Their quality is subpar, I get they are cheaper for a Glock clone there are to many quality control issues with them PSA needs to fix the stamping process or have higher quality metal,

Do you have a video of the same content on the micro dagger?

Yes.

@@tomslovenski were you able to fix it

[@KJK_ATX]

Please get back with me if you get a chance because I’m about ready to throw pos. This thing is a piece of junk. The internals suck like you said. No wonder it’s so damn cheap.

[@ArrowheadPondResto]

Where you located at?

[@scottevans4294]

All internal parts are made in China. Same as a P80. only use OEM Glock parts. All you need to do is look at their parts and OEM parts. the tolerance stacking from cheapo parts is staggering.
