I impulse purchased a dagger compact frame a few months back and later picked up a complete slide. On putting them together it is immediately obvious that the slide and frame do not fit closely at all. There is a 2mm gap from the bottom of the slide to the frame, at the front it is more like 3mm. Recoil spring and top of the magazine are clearly visible even at a distance through this gap.

When you shake the pistol, there is a noticeable rattle between the slide and frame. After firing, you can push down on the slide and there is a noticeable "click" and the slide will sit ever so slightly lower.

Is this pretty much par for the course with the Dagger? I have other clones that seem to have much better fit than this.

Can I get the same?

I thought that was odd, if I put them on a glock frame they are tighter.
