Great job! You can HEAR the difference after polishing. It's much more quiet, less of that plastic scraping sound. I did the exact same thing to my Glock 43x before I ever shot it. It's my first Glock. I also polished the slide rails. But the single thing that made the most difference was polishing both sides of the trigger spring shoe that the connector slips into. It was gouging the plastic trigger housing. No expensive aftermarket trigger parts needed. I do the same kind of thing to my revolvers as well.

Nice job improving your new toy! Half a pound reduction is what I see on my Glocks after smoothing it up some. Glad you're back Matt. Stay Safe

May or may not be helpful, but I also polished the inside (right side) of the rear rail module and the portion of the trigger bar that interfaces with it. It appears on my Dagger that these two surfaces do make contact. Not an issue with a Glock as there is no rear rail module.

The front rail looks like a P80 rail. Did you try a set of Glock pins? I would mic. the roll pins and see if they measure 22mm if they do, you can throw those roll pins in the trash.

I totally marred my new dagger trying to hammer these stupid fuc@!ng roll pins back in. They need to fire whoever thought that was a good idea.

Nice video! Thanks for taking the time to put a video for fellow Dagger owners. I was curious of you’ve had any of the trigger pin “walking” out after 50-100 rounds or so prior to the trigger job? If so, I imagine it would only get worse after disassembly. Hopefully they’ve fixed this issue on recent batches! 🤞

I spy a Strike Industries enhanced AR lower parts kit. I just built a nice AR using that parts kit 😆. Good video, I've been doing this for years with my Glocks. Micro Dagger C-1 is on order, from what I understand if you want to put an Apex into a Micro Dagger it requires an OEM Glock 43X assembly.

This is about the only down side to the dagger imo .. Maybe they make gen2 later with block pins ..but as of 2023 labor day sale 220$ now gen 3 glock clones seems its just a price point gun for regular folks who will never polish there trigger bars or add a timmney or apex trigger witch is probably best

Thanks for the video, it is the best one for polishing. Try some Mobil 1 10W30 for lube.

Great info when or if I get a PSA Dagger I will have to do it! By the way, what is that trigger on the Aero on the bench, or rather that trigger shoe?

Those roll pins will keep me from disassembling the lower since they appear to have a finite number of times you can do them.

Hey boss what size punch an roll punches did you use I need to order some off Amazon thanks for your time an great video!!

Great job and nice video. I've seen alot of video's of people complaining about the gun having rolled pins instead of solid pins, but most guns are made with rolled pins, so whats the big deal?

My new dagger out of the box is under 5 lbs on my gauge. And I will be doing a polish job.

My dagger has a lot of mush take up, and no wall.

thanks for the vid! maybe you can answer my question as to why my new dagger sounds so bad when i send back the slide.. the spring sounds like its scratching everything inside lol.. it sounds like the slides screaming lol

Hey, bud. A little unrelated but I read on a forum that a stiff trigger pull on a glock/dagger means a scratched connector. How is that possible?

How did you get those pins out? What punch did you use? I've bent so many tools and the front one just won't budge.

I totally missed the trigger install. I have the center pin installed, can you tell me which pin goes to the rear housing? Is it the shorter or longer pin? Thanks!

Those roll pins were a bitch to remove. Trigger pin had to be tapped out w a punch. After the polish, my dagger went to 4 lb. Prior was 5+ lb. It smoothed the action a lot. I wish psa would do something about those roll pins. Also, my slide cover plate was really jammed into the slots. I had to use a flathead screwdriver to pull it out. But now that it’s done, I’m not monkeying with my dagger anymore. My Glock 17 disassembles much easier by comparison.

how did you manage to get the trigger pin out? Wiggling the slide release isn't working

Have you found any good replacements for the roll pins?

One reason it's half the price.

Speak up a bit! Can’t hear anything for the first half of the video

I can't for the life of me take out the roll pins ! Any suggestions

So it is a glock trigger

Can u put Glock pins instead of roll pins

Need a mic, can not hear you very well...

Man you talk softly
