Lets settle this once and for all, is the PSA Dagger a good handgun?

>>63992834 (OP)
Maybe

Better than a glock brand glock unironically

>>63992834 (OP)
Mogged by the RXM

>>63992834 (OP)
If it's good enough for Derl it's good enough for me.

It's fine. We are in a golden age of cheap yet reliable 9mm handguns. Literally doesn't matter.

People forget what $300-$400 got you a decade ago because it was pretty horrible.

>>63992834 (OP)
I've had a few, I impulse buy them when they're on sale then offload them to the next guy a few months later at funshows. They're a glock clone. They work. They're accurate for plinking/carry. They're cheap. I prefer my genuine glawk brand glawk foty for carry since I don't trust 9mm to put down a cracked out lunchtime rowdy. But the dagger is fine.

>>63992834 (OP)
It's alright. It's fun if you want a gun you can just be a reckless idiot with and attach whatever cheap dumb bullshit you find on ebay or alibaba. It'll work if you need a serious pistol but a LEO trade in glawk is just all around better and can be had for the same price

>>63992858
In what way?

>>63993305
Because

>>63992834 (OP)
It's functional if you need a Glock right now because you have an actionable threat on your life, but if you can wait until you've saved up enough for a Glock-brand Glock or even an RXM, why wouldn't you?

>>63992834 (OP)
>Gen 3 GLAWK but made by meth orcs who will sell your credit card info
I'd just get an RXM or the real article.

>>63992834 (OP)
no, get glock or m&p 2.0

>>63992834 (OP)
You certainly could do worse but yeah a Glock with a different name brand is fine and will chew through even the worst of steel cased and Remshit ammo. It's hard to make a good gun when the standard is set so high however.

>>63993326
>or even an RXM
I like Ruger revolvers but doesn't Ruger have a bad reputation for using really cheap paint/coating that will wear off after a few hot sweaty days? Or have they fixed that issue since then.

>>63993704
"or even an RXM" implies that it's better than a Dagger but not as good as a real Glock

>>63992898
The SIGMA was pretty reliable, and it's thanks to that gun that so many striker-fired guns would come out soon after.

>>63993704
The quality of Ruger's coatings vary greatly depending upon the model. Their super-budget Security-9 has a blued barrel that will rust if you look at it wrong whereas their LCR cylinders are DLC coated. The nitride coating on my RXM is somewhere in the middle and is holding up fine for me, seems to be on par with the SIGs and S&W duty gun finishes I've owned.

They’re a fun range toy. I like shooting it more than a Glock 19. Friend of my Mom’s has one that’s suppressed

does it make me a big fat fucking faggot that i like what PSA is doing with this line in that you can mix and match colors and barrel shapes and slides

It's okay, but with the RXM being a better Glock than Glock, why would you get one?

>>63993895
>The quality of Ruger's coatings vary greatly depending upon the model.
That makes sense, I guess everything they sell really is a 'ya get what you pay for' situation. I've never heard anyone complain about the Redhawk/Blackhawk but then again those are expensive and heavy enough to even handle Bubba's pissin hot loads.

>>63993895
This. I had to reblue my dad's security 9 after it sitting in this safe for a month. The Van's I put on it is more durable than the factory finish lol. But my rxm still isn't showing any holster wear

No, it fucking sucks.

>>63994215
Should have bought the double action instead of the single

>>63994215
California legal loophole?

>>63992834 (OP)
I don't know how easily you'll be able to get aftermarket stuff for it, but I've enjoyed the one I got from one of their clearance sales

>>63992834 (OP)
It's made out of stainless steel not high carbon. It will beat the shit out of itself and not last the test of time. Same reason why their AKs aren't lasting to high round counts, they're using too soft of steel grades. The cheap bastards, what a thing to cheap out on.

PSA Dagger? MORE LIKE PSGAY FAGGER!

>>63992834 (OP)
No

>>63992898
A decade ago the SD9VE was out, probably the most proven Glockalike ever, and it didn't have the Sigma's AIDS trigger. S&W just did a reboot called the SD9 2.0, it has the same internals just with a modern stock trigger and some ergonomic adjustments. I'd choose it over a Dagger desu. Upgrading with a large aftermarket is cool but every dollar spent on restless gun syndrome is a dollar that could be spent on ammo. Sometimes the best option is a solid, barebones gun where the whole thing was QC'd as a single system.

>>63993895
>>63994208
So does that mean a LCR's finish won't come off easily then since those are in the 700/800 dollar range?
Honestly I should probably just ask in the wheelgun thread.

>>63992881
Also true

You might be on to something there.

wow
