PSA Dagger RMR Cut Slides compatible with Gen 2/3 G19s

[Nephrology]

The Ugly:

As it got dark I shot using some handheld light techniques. There was a group of young guys in the next bay in plate carriers shooting suppressed long guns under NODS. Suffice to say all of them were younger than my 1992 vintage GEN 2 Glock 19…… :-/

I bet NODS are great if you need to shoot stuff in the dark... for boring people like me, I'd rather save the money and go to the range during the day :P

I need a slide like this for a G17, gen 4. I have an old Gen 4 G35 that is gathering dust, have been meaning to convert it to shoot 9 full time (eventually...), this would be a great option.

For a Gen 4 G17 the Brownells slides are nice but at least $100 more than the PSA Dagger slides.

Mine fit a PJ holster a little tight but would not fit in a BladeTech for a 17.

I never tried the slide on a Gen 5 frame. It says Gen 3 only so I didn’t bother.

I used a Strike Industries adapter to use it on my Gen4 frame. I don't think it would work on a Gen5 though.

In general Gen 2/3/4 slides work on Gen 5 frames if you use a Gen 5 back plate.

I have a Suarez slide that was recommended to do that.

It’s notched for the ambi release.

I also Dremeled a Gen 3 Rockslide G23 slide to make a notch to work on a Gen 5 frame.

Has the jury reached a verdict on these PSA slides on G3 Glock frames? Anyone have longer-term use to report? Thanks!

I tried one of the Dagger complete assemblies (borrowed from a friend) on my Gen 4 19. Range report here: https://pistol-forum.com/showthread....st-RDS-session

I fired 60-some rounds and only later learned that I need an adapter to avoid frame damage. It still ran fine and I'm dry firing it daily. The trigger pull is much worse than with the factory Glock parts - more than a pound heavier, with a formidable wall before the break. If I bought the assembly, I'd probably replace the striker, firing pin safety, and related springs with Glock OEM.

Where have you heard it will cause damage? I have always been told the spacers/adapters are for aesthetics, and to prevent large foreign objects from getting into the gun, but that a Gen 3 slide, on a Gen 4 frame, won't cause damage.

I saw it in this post by ToddG: https://pistol-forum.com/showthread....l=1#post153699

If Todd said someone at Glock told him that, I believe it 100%. I still don't really understand the mechanism of potential damage, though. Strike Industries (who make the adapter plate) claim that it's due to excessive frame flex and guide rod movement: https://odysee.com/@StrikeIndustries...P2:0?src=embed

Coolz thanks. I'll be ordering one of those plates.

Well I've got one. It's been run on a gen3 and a gen4 G19 frame, just now over 400 rounds through, 100% reliable function.

Only thing I don't like is how shallow the optic cut is. Other than that, great. Have a Swampfox Liberty on it. So far, very good.
