PSA Dagger Micro: The $350 Micro Double Stack 9mm First Shots 

Can’t wait for the 1000 round review to see how it holds up.

Looking forward to the 1000 rd review

I have this gun in my rotation for edc, I’ve shot almost 1000 rounds through it with zero issues, I do shoot blazer brass 115 grain when I go to the range and like I said zero issues, I actually have two micro daggers one with a compensated slide, zero issues on both.

I do NOT need another.........well, maybe just 1 more.....🤣😅

Best firearm reviewer on RU-vid. And he's from the Free State of Iowa. Cheers from Johnston, Iowa

No issues with my Micro Dagger C-1. I haven’t installed a red dot yet because I wanted to get 1000 rounds through it with irons. So far no failures of any kind and mine is hitting point of aim point of impact. Can’t wait to get to 1000 rounds with this.

The number of reliable, inexpensive, compact carry pistols on the market these days is crazy. A golden age for carry guns

I hope one day all states will be able to buy whatever gun they want with whatever magazine they want

I’ve been pleased with my dagger so far. It had 3 stovepipes within the first 150 rds buts has run great for the last 1400 rds. I like the longer grip since I have big hands. Love your reviews

PSAs firing pins are also notorious for breaking. Dropping in a glock OEM parts kit can actually bring these things up to par for a really minimal expense.

One thing I have found with PSA guns. They are awesome and a great value But, buyones that have been in production for a few years. They do a great job bringing stuff out but they refine after issues appear. Small company growing pains is all. I've got 2 new purchases of guns brought out a few years ago and the only issue I see is a GRIT that causes friction related issues. Spray clean with cleaner lube usually clears things up.

Any budget firearm benefits greatly from polishing, cleaning, and lubricant. My Hellcat shot really terrible when new with a 7 1/2 pound trigger. After just polishing and de-burring all the internals and setting the trigger pins flush it now shoots really good with a 4 1/2 pound trigger. Very crisp and consistent. The same was true with my Rossi R92 357 magnum. It’s now even smoother than my son’s Henry lever action.

Looking forward to the next video on this gun. Especially with a red dot and different ammo. Thanks

I love mine. It’s one of my favorite carry guns now. Mine also hit a little left when I got it, not low just left, though the rear sight was centered. I’m right handed but left eye dominant and tend to shoot left with Glocks too. It is not trigger control. But I drifted the sight over and now it shoots great. Mine is an absolute tack driver. Shoots great at 25. I’ve mostly shot it at 15 and can stack them. I’ve not had any malfunctions. Even though I’ve shot mixed mags with 115, 124, 135, 147 grain, standard, +P, FMJ, Critical Duty, HST’s, no issues. The slide has failed to lock open a few times. I have 4 of the PSA mags for it. But I think I’m just hitting the slide stop.

Respect for keeping the target up for pops🫡

I'm watching from Iowa City, love your videos keep it up!

You said that you wanted this gun to work really bad, and apparently it did... :)

I am glad you and your fam is okay after those storms!

That’s awesome about the target holder. Also awesome that your wife went out and did the first shots video without you even knowing 😂 Seems like it just needs a “break in” process. Looking forward to 1k review on it. Thank you both 🙏 Much love from Texas!

Damn I’m so jealous of you having this on your property. It would be so amazing to be able to just walk outside and get some shooting in whenever you want . Awesome setup and thanks for the info!

You should do polls for the viewers brother. Who will buy and who won't and explain why in the comments section for the fans. Makes it more interactive and adds another level of enjoyment to what you put out. Or don't; either way I'm still a subscriber and fan and will keep watching regardless.

Great video!!! Just got the frame on sale this weekend to see if it’s compatible with my cr920p, G43 and G48. Can’t wait 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾

Havent seen any of your videos lately , always look for them . Best all around gun videos all around !!

Looking forward to the 1000 round review! So far wouldn’t get this as a main carry gun that I would bet my life on. Thanks for posting this!

Great reviews, and great advice. Have to review the PSA Sabre review

I think the 115 is too light for this pistol. I shot 124 grain aac with zero fail and then went to 115 S&B and had failures. Back to 124 and problem solved. That was from 2 micros. The c1 and the same you have.

Finally. We been waiting for this review for awhile lol. Ready for the thousand round review!

Awesome review Chris keep up the good work!

I like them. Ended up swapping out the upper and trigger but kept the frame for my edc, great baseline lego set if you have extra parts

Had got the sniper green version with the holosun for a deal. Cleaned and lubed it up as soon as I got home and took it to the range for an hour. Ran both PSA mags and Glock mags with Blazer ammunition. Zero failures. So far so good.

Like the honesty man

The hitting low left thing, seems to be a thing with the Micro Dagger. I got the package deal. The PSA Micro Dagger that included the Holosun 407K. However the 407K didn't work when I got it. It would randomly shut off on me while I was using it. So I sent the optic back to PSA and shot the pistol with the iron sights. My gun was hitting about 4" low and about 2" to the left at less than 10 yards. I had a friend shoot it, and he had the same problem. I decided not to wait for the optic to come back. I ordered the optic I actually wanted, the EPS Carry. I put it on, and sighted it in. Sure enough, after getting it sighted in, if you line up the iron sights, the dot is almost not visible in the bottom left of the window. I honestly don't know how they made it that far off. I actually have come to really like the gun. It's been reliable, other than it doesn't lock back reliably when I'm on the clock. Which might be my grip. The only real complaint I have is I don't like the accessory rail. They could have made it a regular pic rail without making the gun any wider than it already is. Then a lot more lights would have fit it. As it is only about two lights fit the rail. I ended up "Canadian Engineering" a way to put my Olight Valkyrie on it.

I have 1k through mine and it does need a little break in for the recoil spring. I have a couple and like the value it gives. The great thing too is that the PSA Micro will take OEM 43x parts. I have replaced the psa trigger bar and trigger housing with an Glock OEM one and feels great (IMO). Even with those parts in addition, you still well under $400 out the door.

I own 2 psa handguns, although not one of these, and mine function flawlessly.

Keeping it honest, as always. That’s why you’re the best!

I been waiting patiently for ur review of the psa Micro!!!

No issues with mine. I carry it daily. I changed the barrel to an Aim Surplus, runs better with the 115 now.

Can’t wait to see you do an initial video on the Shadow Systems new CR model with the 15 round mags!

makes me want to watch your mete review/s! i really do value your reviews/videos....because they seem to be truly honest....even mrs. outlaw's too!

lmao I love the dark humor in regards to the target stand. Love your videos, thanks for giving the OTC 43x some attention

Early production of these things had some issues however PSA are always quite quick to iron those out I picked up a 43X instead of one of these because of the initial reliability issues however I might pick up a a dagger micro now. I have a couple of the dagger micro mags They work excellently in a 43X.

I’m a fan of PSA, and I was ready to get one of the micros. But you’re not the first to have issues. That being said I think they will get the kinks worked out like usual, but the micro rollout is not gonna help their reputation even if it is perfected. I hate it for them but they never seem to have their guns sorted out, they let the consumer test and find the flaws. I would buy one in a year or so, and it would run flawlessly for sure

Great job on the video! Always informative and entertaining. I already went with Polymer 80 PF940C (Glock 19) and PF940SC (Glock 26) 9mm's. Magpul 12rd mag's+1 in the chamber is pretty good. Additional upgrades for the Trigger and Streamlight TLR-6 makes it a good all around EDC. I'm just waiting to catch a RMR on sale to bring the package all together.

Even my CZ P-10F needed a break-in period. The trigger had noticeable grit for the first several hundred trigger presses (both dry fire and live fire). I had no malfunctions, but the slide did seem to loosen up after a while.

So disappointing. I was contemplating getting one and selling my G43/43x/48 but now I’m glad I didn’t. Great video, btw.

My full sized one serves me well, but I haven't tried a Micro yet. Good intro review and looking forward to the full one.

I have two daggers and both required a bit of a break-in of about 150- 200 rounds where they were having a lot of problems, but after that they smoothed out and have never had an issue since. I think PSA makes incredible foundations to build from. They're surprisingly good out of the box for the price, but they really shine if you're willing to put a little more into them.

We need PSA to come to South Africa ASAP. We are getting abused with our Glock prices. $760 for a standard non optic ready Glock 19 with 2 15rd mags. Really sucks 😅

It works every time, most of the time. Look forward to seeing a full review later.

Another great review

Looking foward to the 1000 round review👍

My micro dagger has never had a single malfunction and I probably have about 750 through it now. As they work out kinks in later generations this is going to be a great carry gun

Had an old 43 that didnt get much use due to the round capacity bought a micro frame and slapped the 43 slide on it this really brought the gun back to life

Finally! Been waiting forever for this video. Hopefully a good review so I can buy it.

Just got shield plus yesterday I'll be taking it to the range on Monday or Tuesday

I get the cost is cheap for a want to be hellcat/p364, or Glock, but if I have to play musical ammunition for lack luster accuracy, I'll spend the extra $ on a proven platform. Especially if I have to trust me life with it. Love the honest reviews from you both.

Another great video champ

I have roughly 1200 rounds through mind all with PSA mags and have had zero malfunctions. I do notice the slide being tight and gritty right out of the box but has improved greatly after getting rounds through it. I have all blazer brass through it as well.

There are some exceptional pistols at just over 550 dollars. I rather pay a fair price for an exceptional product than to pay an exceptional price of $300 for a fair product.

Its one of those "I dont know you, that my Purse" type of gun 😅

We beeeen waiting on YOUR review big bro🙌🏾‼️‼️‼️

Just stick with the shield plus Chris , I can’t thank you enough , I watched your video on it went out and got one and I love it , you were dead on !!!!!

Check your barrel!!!! Ive seen people complain about the rifling of the barrel! Check it!!!

I have a glock 43 and wanted to upgrade it to a 43x. Bought the lower of a micro dagger for 60 bucks instead of buying a whole gun. Cant beat that.

I have the micro dagger and I’ve sent well over 1000 rounds down range. I also run the 407 k. I have never had an issue with my dagger. (Knocks on wood) I’ve never had a failure to feed, stovepipe, or light strike issues at all. It has been flawless. I do run AAC 124 for the most part. It’s a great weapon. My main EDC. I’d be happy to send mine to you for comparison review. I also run shield arms mags.

Thanks for your content, I enjoy it. I am one of those people that want to love PSA, but have been disappointed more than once with some QC issues. However, you have a winning hand if you do a little mixing and matching. I took the Glock 43x with the Micro Dagger magazines and it works great. I am approaching 800 rounds through 4 micro Dagger magazines, in my 43x. I had to remove the over-molded plastic sprues, having done that I have zero issues with the magazines or gun. And you don’t have to replace the mag release with a metal one. Good luck, keep it up and let’s see more of that pretty wife of yours.

I'd love to know the long-term reliability and see a torture test.

PSA pistols wouldn't be my first pick for a carry gun, definitely be a fun range gun if I needed one. I like their AR's a lot more though, those I haven't had any issues with, especially their premium uppers with the FN barrels. I'm still waiting for the GX4 Carry review once they get one for the channel. I've heard a lot of good things so far about that pistol. O ky had three here at the shop and all three sold within the first few weeks of having them. We can't keep the hellcat pro's in stock either. Only ones we do are the P365 Macro's, G43X, and the 509C.

Well this is what I was looking for. I’m seeing a lot of people buying these daggers. I just can’t pull the trigger on one from what I’m seeing on reviews. I’ll wait until 1k rd review is done and let some kinks get worked out. Psa is notorious for having issues with first gen guns they make but they always come back strong.

Thank you for making this video… I am thinking about buying one of these. My current EDC is a PSA dagger compact and it has an upgraded trigger, and a Vortex dot. The thing that makes my dagger my EDC is its reliability. Over 2000 rounds, and the only malfunctions have occurred with a brand of cheap magazines.

these comments are crazy. i own firearms from different companies and they all have their issues. to anyone thats getting into firearms and dont have the most money to put into one, PSA isnt a bad place to start and they have a great customer service.

I’m excited to get mine, mostly because my PSA Dagger compact shoots like a Glock with a much more ergonomic grip. It’s all I need, honestly

I made a review on my channel of the first shots as well and had about 5 malfunctions within the 1st 150rds and later added a green dot and swapped out some things and now runs like a champ! Its my edc rotoation now!

Just got my frame. Waiting for the slide to go on sale too

C-1 no issues, 1000 rds through it. Have used Glock mags no issue. Prefer the PSA Mags, simply for capacity. Have used the PSA Mags in my G48 with no problems either. Sample size of one. Well 2 mags.

I have around 1000 rounds through mine,no issues.I only use blazer brass. I did add an optic on mine,changed the trigger shoe to a gunco ss and swapped out the springs.As others have said,my concern with the dagger's is the firing pin.My compact dagger's firing pin broke at 1200 rounds. All in all, the micro dagger is a great shooting gun for me.I have really enjoyed it so far.

I have the C-1 model and it runs great. I have a dot on it and accuracy is great as well. I also put one of the regular slides on my 43X so I could put a dot on it. I haven’t had any issues.

For $50 more, get the Canik MC9.

For the price, might as well get a CZ P10s

Been waiting for this one!!

I've been waiting for this review

Great review! A LOT of ppl SLEEP on PSA

Why get when you can get the shield plus around same price 🤔

Had been waiting for this review for a while. Last year I bought a PSA 10.5 300 AR and while I don't have a lot through it I have been very happy with it so far, especially at the cost. Was really hoping this gun in particular would show better I. The first review. Hope the 1000rd review gives us better results as it breaks in!!!

Have the C1 version. Started rough, mainly because of magazine using. Started using the PSA factory magazines no issues. . Accuracy is decent with the dot. C steel at 50 yards 100 percent.

My son bought one, it had every type of failure imaginable, it would not fire 3 rounds without a failure😊. He is going to try to return it. He tried three different types of ammo, Same result. If a gun is not reliable, it is worthless.

i eat nothing but bacon, eggs, steak, shrimp, corn, cheese, butter, hambugarm, chckien, cheese, butter, corn, hotdog

I put the micro dagger slide and magazines on the frame of my 43X, works very well. I got the slide and magazines when they first came out before the frames or complete guns were released.

I have a FrankenMicroDagger. Shield mags. MicroDagger Frame. Bishop Defense Slide G48 size. GS Tungsten guide rod and slide internals. Double diamond barrel. Shoots like a charm. No red dot sight-just meprolight sights. I love it.

Moral of the story: buy a Taurus G3c or G2c for less and more reliability

Hmmm..$360 for this or a $450 Glock 43x with Shield Arms 15r magazine...Not the PSA thanks. Spend the extra $140...

Yeah was hoping to see it perform better. Thanks

lol cute puppy, waiting to see more about this one

I own one and have had zero issues. I run blazer 124 for target practice. I haven’t had one malfunction. I did swap out the firing pin assembly with Glock OEM and replaced the trigger with tactical pontoon and went with the grip module from St Croix tactical. I also have 507K on it. Super accurate out to 15 yards.

Hey Rukus! This was a video I was waiting for! Along with he 1,000 round review f this pistol. After seeing the 1st shots, it seems 250 rounds counting the Mrs. I think my carry will continue to be the Beretta 92.

Great video as always 🫡... I have been running the C1 Micro Dagger without issue for about 500 rnds now . I was thinking about getting the regular Micro dagger slide too... I'll definitely hang around for the 1k round review

This was very similar to my own experience. I just picked up a Dagger Micro C-1 (Glock 48 size with comp'd slide). I had the EXACT same accuracy issues. I put 200 rounds of Speer Lawman 147gr FMJ thru it my first trip to the range straight outta the box, no cleaning out lube. Very first round I tried to chamber failed to feed. Had to remove the mag to extract it manually. I set the extracted round off to the side & reinserted the mag. Very next round also FTF. This time I was able to bump the slide into battery and fully chamber the round. Fired it off but it failed to eject the brass. Removed the stove pipe & fired off the remaining rounds without a hitch. Went on to put 200 rounds thru it. Not another single hiccup of any sort. I also brought along my Glock 48 for side by side comparison, and I can tell you 2 things I learned. I'm SIGNIFICANTLY more accurate with the Glock at every distance. And I cannot tell any difference whatsoever in felt recoil or speed of getting back on target between having the comp'd slide off the PSA versus the regular slide of the Glock. I think the fact that the PSA has a shorter barrel like a 43X to allow for the comp'd slide in combination with the crappy sights made it less accurate. I'm gonna switch out the sights on the PSA to the same set I run on the Glock and see if I fair any better. As for the 43X/48 mags, I also had issues with these. So stick with the PSA mags.

I have a Dagger Compact. I installed a Ghost 3.5lb connector and a stainless steel firing pin channel liner. Dremel polished the other internals. It made the trigger very smooth and lightened the wall. I have an ACSS chevron H507 zeroed in and this gun is 100% reliable and shoots like a laser. I realize some folks have a bad taste for PSA but I’m not one of them. If I didn’t already have too many 43/43X/48 in the safe, I would grab the Micro Dagger X ASAP.

Well, at least you didn't recommend it, so my checking account is safe for the moment. It looked like the slide/recoil was 'gentle' in the thing watching both of you fire it. I like the original Dagger quite a bit. Hopefully they get this one properly sorted for those who'd love such a thing for carry. Power to the People.

Excited for the Sabre version
