Finally completed my Palmetto State Armory Micro Dagger

[drobs]

I had previously bought a PSA Micro Dagger slide assembly with Holosun 407K red dot. I've been waiting for them to release the frames.
I finally was able to order a frame and picked it up my FFL 2 days ago.

I haven't shot it yet but dry firing the trigger, it reminds me of my Dagger Compact's trigger, which is not that bad.



It fits my leather Tagua G43/G43X Holster



I'm going to try to learn the ways of the RDS. Shooting impressions to follow later this week.

Those of you that own a PSA Micro Dagger, feel free to share you pics / impressions.

Jealous….

Looks good!

Is the Micro Dagger a Glock 43X or a smaller Glock 43 sized gun? (It looks 43X-ish.)

I added a Primary Arms dot to my 43X MOS back in October.



After a few shots to dial it in, I did notice that shooting with a dot had a bit of a different hold. It felt like I was tilting the gun forward just a touch to keep the dot on target. It wasn’t tough to do, just something I haven’t felt before.

After sighting it in, in I fired the first pair of magazines through it. I could keep 20 in the money rings of a B-27 at 15 yards with not much effort. That is a lot better than I could do using just open sights on my 43X. I have no doubt you will also be able to do the same with your Micro Dagger.



Stay safe.

43X.
You can use Micro Dagger magazines in your 43X without need for modification or replacing the mag catch like you do with the Shield magazines.

Yes sir, it's pretty much a G43/48 copy. The parts even interchange. I started with a slide and then wanted to complete the whole thing.

I'm also tempted to put my G43 slide on a PSA Micro Dagger frame.

I went a similar route, buying a PSA micro dagger slide/barrel combo last summer along with four 15-round psa mags. After a brief visual inspection it stayed in it's box on my desk, taunting me, until I could order a PSA frame. I originally planned to use the upper just to have a 43x type for my G48. But for $99 I figured why not just complete the pistol with all PSA. I managed to order one and picked it up last week.

Just yesterday I put my first 50 rounds of ball through it with no malfunctions.

The PSA parts are compatible with the Glock, but are different in some ways. On the Glock you have gen-5 style trigger return spring. The PSA uses a gen-3 S-style spring but with a white fiber/cloth-like filler inside the spring. I applied a few drops of oil to it. The slide stop/release is the older style with a wire spring not a coil spring. The trigger is the hinged-type which I thought I would not like but actually it's quite nice. The locking block is not interchangeable.

While the Glock is much more proven, the PSA seems well made and has good features. I am pretty happy with mine so far. Good luck with yours and use it in good health

Congrats OP, Its looks really good.

I shot 200rds through it just now. Works good! The trigger is just fine.

I'm still playing with the red dot. I adjusted the elevation up on it and the windage to the left and think I have it where I want it. Seems like it needs to be down by the sights on the screen... I don't know. Shot some at paper and shot some at my gongs.

Checking the red dot for tightness on my slide after firing... it loosened up. I see another set of screws in a bag that came with it and will try them.

Sounds like you are well on your way.

Once you find the POA/POI you want, a dab of removable thread locker is your friend.

Stay safe.

What’s the flashlight and how long does the batteries last ?

It's a Surefire G2X

G2X Pro

It has 3 selections on the tail cap button - Low, High, Off.
Low 15 Lumens with a run time of 52 hours
High 600 Lumens with a run time of 1.5 hours

I like it because it's simple to use. I also have a Streamlight Protac that has so many combinations that it's annoying.

I've been thinking of picking up micro dagger frame to put my 43 slide on too. I'm sort of waiting for them to go on a sale.
