Duration: 30:48

This video provides an unboxing and initial setup of the PSA Saber Dagger, a pistol presented as a 'duty Glock clone on woodland steroids.' The presenter, identifying as a drill sergeant leader, details the process of mounting a SureFire X300 weapon light and a Holosun 507 Comp red dot sight. Key observations include the BDU Cerakote finish, slide cuts, and a critical assessment of the magazine release's tendency to not drop magazines freely, especially with OEM Glock magazines.

Quick Summary

The PSA Saber Dagger, a Glock-style pistol, exhibits a stiff magazine release that often fails to drop magazines freely, particularly with OEM Glock magazines, requiring excessive force. Its trigger is comparable to a Glock Gen 3 but may improve with break-in. The firearm was fitted with a SureFire X300 light and Holosun 507 Comp optic.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main concerns with the PSA Saber Dagger's magazine release?

A significant concern with the PSA Saber Dagger is its stiff magazine release. It often does not allow magazines to drop free easily, especially with standard Glock OEM magazines, requiring excessive force to eject them. This could be problematic during reloads in high-stress situations or competitions.

How does the PSA Saber Dagger's trigger compare to a Glock Gen 3?

The trigger on the PSA Saber Dagger is rated as inline or slightly better than a stock Glock Gen 3 trigger. However, the presenter noted that a PSA Dagger with 1000 rounds through it (named Tatiana) had a trigger that felt less gritty and superior to the new Saber Dagger's trigger.

What accessories were mounted on the PSA Saber Dagger in the video?

The PSA Saber Dagger was equipped with a SureFire X300 weapon light mounted to the accessory rail and a Holosun 507 Comp red dot sight directly mounted to the slide's optic cut. The presenter recommends these as top-tier accessories for duty and competition use.

What is the presenter's opinion on the PSA Saber Dagger's grip stippling?

The presenter described the grip stippling on the PSA Saber Dagger as 'weak.' Due to the limited texture, they plan to add Talon grip tape to improve the firearm's usability and handling, making it more secure in the hand during shooting.
