Editor’s Note: The PSA Dagger is a striker-fired handgun that is designed for self-defense and concealed carry. It features a 3.8-inch barrel and a 15-round capacity, and is available in 9mm. The Dagger has a smooth trigger pull and a comfortable grip, and best part about this gun works with standard Glock parts. It is also highly affordable (just under $300), making it an excellent choice for those on a budget. Overall, the PSA Dagger is a solid entry into the crowded market of polymer-framed, striker-fired pistols, with a number of features that make it stand out from the competition.

FINAL VERDICT

Bottom line: it’s a 9mm Glock 19 Clone for under $300 that runs surprisingly well at its price point. Full disclosure, I went into this thing sort of rolling my eyes. Like it’s a $299 gun from PSA, it’s gonna be a cheap piece of plastic. But after the first time at the range and 700 rounds down the pipe, I texted my editor and told him, “OMG, I think it’s good.” After another 400 rounds later, I can confidently say it’s accurate, reliable, and outstandingly priced. I sort of tried not to like it, but alas, I do. It gets the ole thumbs up from me. - Johnny Bragg, Writer
