How similar is it to the Glock one? I remember they came out with this trigger similar to Glock for the sig 320 but the problem I found was if you touched any other part of the trigger before the center you couldn’t pull. On a Glock I recall if you pulled any other part of the trigger then the middle lever it would still fire. Is that true with the dagger?

I caved in and got the 99 bucks combo pack with a lower and a dagger frame. I’m still not sure on the slide yet but might gut the internals for Glock products but if the trigger is good I don’t mind.

Pretty much a copy of the Smith and Wesson trigger.

I switched my trigger for the p80 flat face and line it much better.  Having said that, the psa wasn't bad.  Needed to break in though through about 250 rds.

I put an Apex in mine.  Much better.

I tried that whole cancer thing. It wasn't for me. Good Riddance.

I had the S&W style hinged trigger lock up a couple of times during dry-fire practice if I had my finger positioned too high on the shoe.

I like the trigger fine, but I'm not a trigger snob. As long as it's fairly smooth and hasn't got a pull like a DA revolver, I'm fine with it.

I also bought just frames, but I had a couple of extra Glock slides to put on them. I get the impulse to do that. If you're more comfortable with Glock parts, you might just look around for a complete Glock slide to put on it. One bonus to that IME, is that you can use some holsters made for Glocks, and others can be adapted easily. I really like the shape of the Dagger grip, so it works for me.

Example of what I did/the Glock 45 we have at home:

See here for another idea if you'd rather use Glock parts but also want to use an optic: https://www.ar15.com/forums/Handguns/Glock-Gen3-MOS-slides-directly-from-Glock-/13-215549/
The hardest thing to explain is the glaringly evident which everybody has decided not to see.

That's exactly what I was afraid of like with the P320 one that you can buy that had the safety lever on the trigger. If you didn't press the lever first before the pull it would hang.

I think I will play with it and if it does what you're describing I'll probably end up getting the glock brand trigger.

I actually like the trigger.

Thanks everyone. I did finally picked up my Dagger frame Saturday and testing it on the frame I do like the trigger and is suprised. Not sure how it'll actually be once I get the slide though.

Also, since I don't have a pistol, buying the Dagger brought back memories of my Glock so yeah had to buy a Glock 19x too. I should really avoid going to the gun store. lol. So i guess I'm kind of set back a little bit before I can get the slide for the Dagger. My plan is to keep the 19x at home, and have the dagger as a carry around. I plan to test shoot it for at least 1k rounds though before hand since I'm hearing conflicting reports of the fire pin breaking.

It's an issue that has been going on since they were introduced.  If I were using it for anything serious, I would replace it immediately with the #49 OEM Glock part without "testing" it with $200+ of ammo.  

Even if the stock part did survive 1,000 rounds, who's to say it would survive 1002?  Needless to say, I still don't have full confidence in the cutting of corners PSA has done.

Just my opinion.

Yeah I got my slide coming in next week, hopefully. I ordered it last night and they haven't shipped it yet. I got a Extreme carry cut with the holosun. I'm really excited to try it out. I'm going to keep everything as-is and see how it runs. I plan to dry fire it a lot and also shoot it alot just to see if the firepin breaks and if it does, I can easily buy a glock brand one.

So those of you that changed the trigger, did you retain the Dagger trigger bar and just swap the shoe or replace the entire trigger bar/shoe assembly as a unit?  I have a P80 trigger shoe I'd like to try on my Dagger frame.  Will the shoe swap onto the Dagger trigger bar?

@EncoreGolf - I just replaced the shoe.
