Quoted: Not sure I have found it anywhere but are dagger slides 416 stainless?
View Quote
In the SHOT Show 2020 timeframe, PSA had said the Dagger
TM slide was 416 stainless steel. However, like you, I can't find it documented anywhere at the moment. I asked this exact question on the
PSA Dagger Forum, however, I never received an answer.
If so are there any durability concerns with them?

I'm not aware of any durability concerns with the stainless steel. There have been several reports of the Dagger
TM slide coating chipping with normal use. I'm aware of one case in which PSA has offered to repair or replace a chipped Dagger
TM slide.
NIC Industries, Inc., the parent company of
Cerakote, is currently working with PSA to improve their application process,

Personally, I don't believe the issue is with the application process, nor specific to the Cerakote Dagger
TM slides.

TM including the Dagger
