Holosun EPS Vs EPS Carry [Find Out Which Pistol Optic Is Right For You With This Comparison Of The Holosun EPS And EPS Carry…]
/ by
Enclosed Pistol Sights are all the rage right now…
And it’s easy to see why…
After all, they’re just as fast and accurate as traditional open-emitter reflex sights…
But they have the extra durability and reliability of being fully enclose so that nothing can potentially block the emitter…
Now all that being said, many enclosed pistol optics are large and blocky…
They take up a lot of space, they don’t have a very large window size, and truth be told, they look kinda funny (some people call them ‘mailbox sights’ haha)…
But Holosun (which is one of my favorite optics companies) has managed to produce two options that give us an enclosed emitter, without the bulk, blocky-ness, and small window size…
Those two red dot sights are…
- The Holosun EPS
- The Holosun EPS Carry
And in this Holosun EPS Vs EPS Carry comparison, I’m going to share with you how these two fantastic sights are similar and also what makes them different…
In the end, you’ll have a clear understanding of what you’re getting with the EPS or the EPS Carry, and you should be able to determine which is going to work best for you…
Let’s get into the comparison…
Holosun EPS Vs EPS Carry – Which Pistol Optic Is Right For You…?
The Holosun EPS and EPS Carry are very similar enclosed emitter pistol optics. They’re both made from 7075 T6 Aluminum. The both come in the same reticle options, and they both come with 50,000 hours of battery life, Shake Awake technology, and side loading battery trays. The main differences is that they’re different sizes. The EPS is designed to be mounted on full size, double stack handguns. Whereas, the EPS Carry is smaller and designed to be mounted on single stack or slimline conceal carry pistols…
Below, I’ll address the similarities and differences between these two sights in greater detail.
Holosun EPS And EPS Carry Pistol Red Dots – How Are They Similar…?
The Holosun EPS and the EPS Carry have several similarities, and in the following sections we’ll take a closer look at the areas in which these two pistol optics are the same…
New EPS And EPS Carry – Materials & Construction…
Both the full size EPS and the EPS Carry are built using high quality materials, and as a result the Holosun EPS pistol optic line is very tough…
For example, they both have a sight housing made from 7075 T6 Aluminum, which is an extremely tough material, and they’re both black anodized which helps protect them from corrosion…
On top of that, they’re both IPX8 waterproof, so they can easily handle rainy, snowy, or wet conditions, and they’re both shockproof, so they can handle the punishment an optic takes when being mounted on a handgun slide.
EPS And EPS Carry Lens Clarity And Reticle…
Both the EPS and the EPS Carry use aspherical glass which makes both of them have a very clear lens with little-to-no fish eye effect…
This gives you a clear and crisp field of view when looking through either optic, and that includes the edges of the sight window (which is great when your shooting)…
On top of that, both the EPS and the EPS carry come in a few different reticle variations which include…
- 2 MOA dot reticle versions
- 6 MOA dot reticle versions
- Multi-Reticle System versions
I personally like all of these reticles options, but the premium version for both the EPS and the EPS Carry is definitely the Multiple Reticle System versions…
With these models, you can toggle between 3 different reticle options that are programmed into your sight, and the 3 reticle options include: a 2 MOA reticle, a 32 MOA circle, or a combination of the two (the Holosun Circle Dot Reticle)…
I really like the Circle Dot reticle because it’s extremely quick and easy for you eye to pick up when you present your handgun…
But at the same time, you still have a small 2 MOA dot in the center for shots that require a high degree of accuracy…
It’s basically the best of both worlds, and that’s why I like it…
That being said, it is a little bit (not much) more costly than the standard 2 MOA dot or 6 MOA reticle versions…
And even those those reticle options are much more simple, they can still help you shoot more accurately and faster with a little bit of practice…
Holosun EPS Footprint…
Both the Holosun EPs and the EPS Carry feature the Holosun K series footprint. This is the same footprint that you’ll find on other Holosun red dot sights such as the 507k and the 407k…
This footprint was chosen by Holosun for the EPS series because of the location of the screw holes…
You see, they’re far back enough that they allow Holosun to have just enough space to enclose the emitter in the EPS and EPS carry…
And at the same time, they allow you to have a top-down screw mounting system rather than a clamping system like the AimPoint ACRO, Swampfox Kraken and many other enclosed emitter pistol optics…
I think the choice of using the Holosun k-series footprint (which is nearly the same as the RMSC footprint) was a smart one because it’s a widely known and used footprint that’s already in the marketplace…
On top of that, it makes it really easy to get both the EPS and the EPS Carry mounted onto your gun.
I should also mention that both the EPS and EPS Carry feature an extremely low deck height. And this is a fantastic feature for 2 reasons in my view…
First of all, it allows you to use standard height iron sights to back up your optic (so you don’t need to have suppressor height sights)…
And second, it makes it easier, faster, and more natural to find your dot (at least that’s the case for me).
Holosun EPS And EPS Carry Battery Life And Brightness Settings…
Both the Holosun EPS and EPS Carry have outstanding battery life. First of all they both use one CR1620 battery which is able to power the sight for around 50,000 hours (which is over 5 years)…
In addition to that both the EPS and EPS Carry feature Holosun’s Shake Awake technology which is going to save your battery life even more…
And some models actually feature a solar panel (the Solar Failsafe) which will back up your battery if it ends up dying on you…
On top of that, both designs feature a side loading battery tray and that’s important because it means you’ll be able to change out the battery on your site without having to remove it from the slide of your pistol…
Now as for the brightness settings, with both sights you get a total of10 daylight brightness settings and two night vision settings…
The daylight brightness settings get extremely bright on the high end so you won’t have any issues with them washing out in bright Sun and the two night vision settings are cool if you have night vision equipment and want to do some shooting in the dark…
All in all though, both the EPS and EPS Carry have excellent battery life, and they both have built-in technology to extend the battery life that you get while at the same time giving you an extremely bright reticle.
Holosun EPS And EPS Carry Reflex Sights – How Are They Different…?
Even though the EPS and the EPS Carry are very similar, they do have some key differences which is what we’ll be discussing now…
Let’s begin by discussing the size of both optics…
Holosun EPS Size…
The Holosun EPS is a full size pistol optic, and it’ll work best on a full-size pistol on the range or in defensive use…
It can also be used on a conceal carry gun, especially if it’s a double stack gun like a Glock 19, but as you’ll see when we look at the dimensions, it’s a larger optic than the EPS Carry…
The full size EPS has a height of .99 inches, a width of 1.18 inches, and a length of 1.61 inches…
One of the key benefits of the full size EPS over the EPS Carry is that it gives you are much more wide field of view because it has a larger sight window.
Holosun EPS Carry Size…
As the name implies, the EPS Carry if one of Holosun’s carry optics offerings. It is designed to be mounted on single stack or slimline conceal carry guns like the Glock 48…
The dimensions on the EPS Carry are a height of .95 inches, a width of 1.05 inches, and a length of 1.61 inches…
So the width and height of the EPS Carry are shorter than that of the EPS, and the main advantage is that its a more compact sight which is more comfortable and easier to conceal carry.
Included Rear Sight (For Defensive Carry Sub Compact Pistols)…
One of the other differences between these two sights is that the EPS Carry features a rear sight built into the sight housing…
This was done because some optics ready conceal carry pistols don’t have space for a rear sight when an optic is mounted…
The full size EPS doesn’t have a rear sight molded into the sight housing, and I don’t think there’s a need for it as long as your gun has a rear sight mounted.
Holosun EPS Carry Vs EPS (Full Size) – Final Thoughts…
So to sum it all up, both the EPS and EPS Carry are fantastic enclosed emitter pistol sights…
They’re both built to be tough. They both have outstanding battery life and reticle options, and they both have very clear sight windows…
The main difference is that they’re different sizes…
So if your gun is a double stack or full size pistol, I recommend you go with the Holosun EPS because it will give you a larger sight window and be a better overall fit…

And your gun is a single stack or slimline handgun, I recommend you go with the EPS Carry because it will be more compact and easier to carry concealed…

You can’t go wrong with either of these two sights because they’re both well made, cutting edge designs, and the only difference you really need to consider between them is their size.
PSA Dagger Holster Compatibility [Here’s What You Need To Know & A Top 7 List…]
/ by
I love my PSA Dagger…
But early on, one of the major concerns that I had was if I would be able to find a holster that would fit it…
There weren’t many options when it first came out, which led many to wonder whether there was any PSA Dagger holster compatibility or not…
Luckily things have changed now, and there are several great holster options that are specifically designed for the PSA Dagger…
Below, I’ll share with you my Top 7 List of of the best PSA Dagger Holsters available…
But before we get into the list, let’s talk about the elephant in the room and answer if the Dagger is compatible with G19 Holsters (after all it is a Gen 3 Glock clone)…
PSA Dagger Holster Compatibility – Does The PSA Dagger Fit A Glock 19 Holster?
So does the Dagger fit in the Glock 19 Holsters…? The answer is yes… and no. Some G19 holsters will fit the Dagger and some will not…
Part of the reason some G19 holster won’t fit the Dagger is because it has a completely different trigger guard design than a Glock, and many holsters use this as an area to create retention…
Now, I have found that Glock 19 holsters that are designed to work with a light like the Streamlight TRL-1 will typically fit the Dagger if that light is mounted on it…
But really, if you decide to get a Glock 19 holster for your PSA Dagger, it’s kind of a gamble as to whether or not it will be compatible…
Unless you’ve seen another person show that it fits.
Top 7 List Of Palmetto State Armory Dagger Holsters…
IWB (Inside The Waistband) & Other Concealed Carry Holsters…
1. Alien Gear Cloak Tuck 3.5 IWB Holster
My favorite inside the waistband holster for the PSA Dagger Compact is the Alien Gear Cloak Tuck 3.5 IWB Holster, and there are many reasons why…
First of all, if you’re going to conceal carry your Dagger, this is one of the most (if not THE most) comfortable holsters on the market…
Part of the reason it’s so comfortable is that it’s a hybrid holster with a neoprene material that fits against your body…
It also features adjustable clips, and you can adjust the cant and ride height so you can completely customize the holster to your comfort level and body type…
Now, because of the hybrid design, I do think it’s best suited for a carry in the 3, 4, or 5 o’clock positions. So keep that in mind if you’re interested in this option..
But it also features a lifetime warranty, so if you have any issues that arise with your holster you should be taken care of.

2. We The People Holsters PSA Dagger Compact Red Dot Optic Cut IWB Holster
Number 2 on my list and another amazing Dagger holster is the We The People Holsters PSA Dagger Compact Red Dot Optic Cut IWB Holster…
This is a comfortable and discreet kydex holster for the Dagger. One of the things that I really like about it is the adjustable retention, so you can really get the perfect amount of tension when drawing your handgun…
Also, like the Alien Gear Cloak Tuck holster I mentioned above, you can adjust the ride and cant on this holster, and that really allows you to tailor it for your personal comfort, body type, and carry preferences…
On top of that, the clip is also adjustable so you can get the ride height just right, and the protective sweat guard helps keep the gun separated from your body, so you don’t end up sweating on your gun during those hot summer days (this is something that’s happened to me before)…
Now two things that I think separate this holster from the Alien Gear Cloak Tuck that I mentioned in number 1 are…
Number 1 this holster is better for Appendix carry if you prefer to carry in the 1 or 2 o’clock positions (and you can add on a concealment claw for even better concealment)…
And number 2, this holster has a cut out for a red dot sight. So if you have a Dagger with an optic on it like an RMR or a Holosun (and suppressor height sights), it will easily fit into this holster (which is great)…
So all in all, this holster from We The People Holsters is another fantastic option, especially if you want to conceal carry your dagger with an optic on it and/or in the appendix carry position.

3. Alien Gear Cloak Shoulder Holster
The third option on my list is the Alien Gear Cloak Shoulder Holster, which is a totally unique and really cool shoulder holster for the PSA Dagger…
This is an extremely comfortable holster which features padded neoprene straps, and you also get a magazine holster on the opposite shoulder from your gun…
On top of that, the straps are adjustable. So you can customize the fit to your own comfort and preferences, and the belt hooks keep the whole system close to your body and secure when you’re moving around…
I also like that the retention can be adjusted, so you can get a smooth draw, and that the holster and the mag carrier have an adjustable cant so you can maximize the comfort and concealment of your pistol…
All in all, it’s just an awesome system if you want to carry from a shoulder holster, and I also love the fact that is comes in black leather or in that classic brown leather holster color which just looks so cool!

4. We The People Holsters PSA Dagger Compact With Streamlight TLR-1/1S/HL Light IWB Holster
The last IWB holster on my list is the We The People Holsters PSA Dagger Compact With Streamlight TLR-1/1s/HL Light IWB Holster…
This holster is very similar to the We The People Holster that I mentioned above. It still features adjustable retention, so you can get the perfect draw…
And you can adjust the ride and cant of your handgun, and adjust the location of the clip as well to make sure your Dagger is comfortable to carry around…
It’s also cut for a red dot if you have an optic and suppressor sights on your Dagger like I do, and it has the protective sweat guard as well to keep your gun separated from your body as you carry…
The main difference is that this holster will allow you to mount and carry the Streamlight TLR-1 series of lights…
Right now, the Streamlight TRL-1 HL is my go-to weapon light, and that’s why I chose this particular model, but keep in mind that We The People Holsters makes this holster to fit the X300 Surefire lights as well (if that’s your preferred go-to light)…
Either way, this is a great option because having a weapon light on your carry gun is a great idea for 2 reasons…
First of all, most defensive shootings take place at night, and a weapon light will allow you to identify your target before shooting (which is absolutely essential)…
And second, a weapon light adds weight to the muzzle end of your Dagger’s frame and makes it a little easier to shoot…
So again, this is a fantastic option if your going to carry your Dagger IWB and you’re going to run a light on it.

OWB (Outside The Waistband) Holsters…
5. Alien Gear Cloak Mod OWB Holster
The first Outside the Waistband holster on my list is the Alien Gear Cloak Mod OWB Holster, and there are many reasons why it’s a great option…
First of all, this holster is built to be strong and give good retention on your handgun. It also has a wide open-mouth design with allows you to easily holster your gun and just give you a perfect holster fit with the Dagger…
I also like that it’s fully adjustable for the cant, angle, and retention level that you desire, so you can really customize it for your comfort level…
And it also comes with the paddle or belt slide clips, so you have a couple of options for how you can carry your gun OWB without having to spend any extra money on your holster system…
My one knock on it is that it’s currently not made for an optics ready Dagger, but if you don’t run an optic on your dagger slide, that’s not even an issue for you…
All in all, this is a fantastic OWB holster option because it’s fully adjustable, easy to wear, and comfortable.

6. We The People Holsters PSA Dagger Compact Red-Dot Optic Cut OWB Holster
Number 6 on my list is the We The People Holsters PSA Dagger Compact Red Dot Optic Cut OWB Holster…
This is another great option from We The People Holsters. It is fully adjustable meaning that you can adjust the ride, cant, and retention of your handgun to ensure the perfect fitment on your body…
And if also includes a sweat guard and the We The People Holsters paddle or belt clip system which is a very secure and comfortable OWB mounting system…
Also, unlike the Alien Gear Cloak Mod that I mentioned right above, this holster is ready for an optic ready handgun…
This is a big deal for me personally, because like I said, I’ve got my Dagger set up with the Swampfox Kraken currently, and I need IWB and OWB carry holsters that will accommodate that…
So this is another great option because it gives you everything you need to carry your pistol OWB, and it also fits the Dagger like a glove.

7. We The People Holsters PSA Dagger Compact With Streamlight TLR-1/1S/HL Light OWB Holster
The last holster on my list is the We The People Holsters PSA Dagger Compact With Streamlight TLR-1/1S/HL List OWB Holster…
This holster is very similar to the one above, but the main difference is that it’s obviously a light bearing holster…
It still gives you adjustable retention, cant, and ride, and it also comes with the We The People Holsters OWB paddle and belt loop system…
But this holster will give you a perfect fit is you’re running any of the Streamlight TLR-1 series weapon lights on your Dagger’s accessory rail…
Like many other shooters, you might like to run a light or laser on your gun, and I really like that We The People Holsters is making Dagger specific molds that are set up for popular light options from Streamlight and Surefire…
So again, this is another great OWB option especially if you’re going to open carry your firearm outdoors at night.

Best Trybe Defense Glock Slide [Top 8 List]
/ by
I love modifying my Glocks…
In fact, I don’t own one that’s been left fully in it’s factory form…
And one of the best places to modify or upgrade your Glock is actually in the slide…
The reason why is because it gives your gun a whole new look, and more importantly, it can allow you to mount an optic (which helps you shoot faster and more accurately)…
Now one of the best aftermarket Glock slides that combines high quality features with a reasonable price tag is the Trybe Defense Glock Slide…
And in this Trybe Defense Glock slide review, I’m going to explain what you get with 8 different Trybe Glock slide variations…
In the end, you’ll have a solid understanding of what you get with the Trybe Defense slides, and you should have all the information you need to determine which one is going to work best for you…

Best Trybe Defense Glock Slide – Which Trybe Glock Slide Is Right For You…?
So which Trybe Defense Glock slide is right for you…?
Well, that depends on which Glock model you intend to put it on and aesthetic style you prefer to get on your slide…
Here are the current models that Trybe Defense offers when it come to Glock slides:

1. Trybe Defense Glock 19 Pistol Slide Version 1
The first slide on my list is the Trybe Defense Glock 19 Pistol Slide Version 1, and it’s a fantastic Glock slide for many reasons…
First of all, this slide is constructed from heat treated 416R Stainless Steel, which makes it very strong and robust…
And it also features a sleek design that incorporates front slide serrations and windows…
The front slide serrations are very grippy, which makes it easier to manipulate your Glock, and the windows help to lighten your slide for a faster recoil impulse and to balance out the weight of the optic that you’ll probably be putting on your slide…
Speaking of optics, you can get this slide with one of 4 optics cuts, and those cuts include:
- Trijicon RMR
- Leupold Delta Point Pro
- Vortex Venom
- Vortex Viper
Out of those 4 options, my favorite would be the Trijicon RMR cut because it gives you the most options in terms of which optic you choose to mount on your Trybe Defense slide…
And my top pick would be the Holosun 507c…
Aside from that, you can get this slide in both black and flat dark earth (FDE), which is really cool…
And it doesn’t matter which generation of Glock frame you’re looking to put it on either because it’s offered for Gen’s 1, 2, and 3. It’s offered for Gen 4’s, and it’s offered for Gen 5 Glocks…
All in all, this is an awesome slide if you want to upgrade your Glock 19 with an optic, front slide serrations, and a new sleek look.

2. Trybe Defense Glock 19 Pistol Slide Version 2
Much like the Version 1, the Trybe Defense Glock 19 Pistol Slide Version 2 is a fantastic upgrade for your Glock 19…
It’s also made from heat treated 416R stainless steel, and it features a different look to the Version 1 with more windows toward the front of the slide and some cool knurling toward the rear…
It also comes with optic cuts for the Trijicon RMR, Leupold Delta Point Pro, Vortex Venom, and Vortex Viper…
And it can be had in a black or flat dark earth cerakote finish…
Last, this Version 2 Trybe Glock Slide can be had in a Gen 1,2, and 3 compatible model, in a Gen 4 compatible model, and in a Gen 5 compatible model…
So no matter which generation of Glock 19 you’re running, you’ll be able to get the most out of it with this super cool slide.

3. Trybe Glock 17 Slide Version 1
If you have a Glock 17, the Trybe Glock 17 Slide Version 1 is a great option and gives you the same great features that you get from the Trybe Glock 19 Version 1 slide…
For example, the Trybe Glock 17 slide is constructed from that same heat treated 416R stainless steel…
And it also has the Trybe Glock slide version 1 front and rear serrations which are very grippy and give you a lot of ways you can charge the weapon…
And it also features those same windows toward the front of the slide, to give you a faster recoil impulse and to balance out the weight of the optic you put on your gun…
This slide can also be had in the same 4 optics cuts as the Trybe Glock 19 slide, and again those are: the Trijicon RMR cut, the Delta Point Pro cut, the Vortex Venom cut, and the Vortex Viper cut (again, my favorite is the RMR cut because you can mount a Holosun 507C on it)…
Last, this slide is made for all generations of Glocks, just be sure to choose the correct generation when you select one to purchase, and you can also choose between the black finish or the flat dark earth finish as well.
All in all, this slide is the perfect upgrade if you want to upgrade the slide on your Glock 17 without breaking the bank.

4. Trybe Glock 17 Slide Version 2
Like the Trybe Glock 17 Slide Version 1, the Version 2 gives you all the same great features, just in the version 2 design…
So you get a different look, more windows toward the front of your slide (which is cool when you want to show of your Glock’s barrel), and the knurling at the rear of the slide rather than more traditional serrations…
Just like the rest of the Trybe Glock slide series, the slide is made from 416R stainless steel which has been heat treated for strength…
And you can get it with an optic cut for the Trijicon RMR footprint, the Delta Point Pro footprint, the Vortex Venom footprint, or the Vortex Viper footprint…
Last, this slide design is available for any generation of Glock, and you can get it in standard black of Trybe’s flat dark earth cerakote color!

5. Trybe Defense Glock 43/43X Pistol Slide Version 1
Next on the list is the Trybe Glock 43/43X Slide Version 1. This slide is similar to many of the Trybe Glock slides, but there are a few key differences…
First of all, this slide like all the Trybe Defense Glock series slides, is made from 416R stainless steel which has been heat treated to make it stronger…
Aside from that, it includes the same design elements that are typical of the version 1 slides from Trybe such as the front and rear serrations and the windows…
And it also comes in a black finish and a flat dark earth finish…
Now, because the Glock 43 and 43X are slimline conceal carry pistols, these Trybe Glock slides are cut with the RMSc optic footprint, which has pretty much become the standard footprint for smaller miniature red dots…
If you’re looking for an optic to fit this footrpint, I highly recommend you take a look at the Holosun 507K…
Regardless, this is another fantastic Glock slide that’s offered from Trybe Defense.

6. TRYBE Defense Glock 43/43X Pistol Slide Version 2
Just as with the other models on this list, Trybe Defense offers a Glock 43/43X slide in their Version 2 design…
Just as with the Version 1, it made from heat treated 416R stainless steel, and it has the V2 design of multiple forward window cuts and knurling in the rear…
It’s also available in black or FDE, and it’s set up with an RMSc optic cut, so you can easily mount a small, slim optic to it…
All in all, it’s another great option if you’re running a Glock 43, or 43X.
Click The Button Below To Learn More About The Trybe Defense Glock 43/43X Pistol Slide Version 2:
7. Trybe Defense Glock 26 Pistol Slide Version 1
It’s kind of an older concealed carry gun, but that doesn’t mean the Glock 26 is no longer a great carry option, and luckily, with the Trybe Glock 26 Slide Version 1, you’ll be able to get the most out of your carry gun…
With this Trybe Glock slide you’re getting that same heat treated 416R stainless steel, and you also get the same design features that all V1 Trybe slides feature such as the windows and grippy front and rear slide serrations…
Right now, this slide is only available in a Glock Gen 3 and Gen 4 model, but it does come with one of the 4 optics cuts that Trybe is known for (Trijicon RMR, Delta Point Pro, Vortex Venom, and Vortex Viper)…
Last, it comes in black or FDE, and it’s a great option if you’re running a Glock 26 as a carry gun or even just as a fun range shooter.

8. Trybe Defense Glock 26 Pistol Slide Version 2
The final slide on my list is the Trybe Defense Glock 26 Slide Version 2, and if you’ve been paying attention, you probably already know much of what you’re going to get from it…
With this slide you’re getting heat treated 416R stainless steel and the Version 2 features that are typical of a Trybe Defense Slide such as the window cuts and rear knurling…
Just like the V1 Glock 26 slide from Trybe it can be had in black or FDE, and it’s also offered in 4 optic cut models (RMR, Delta Point Pro, Vortex Venom, and Vortex Viper)…
Last, it’s available for Gen 3 and Gen 4 Glock 26’s, and as with all products from Trybe Defense, it’s built to be affordable and high quality.

Best Trybe Defense Charging Handle [Top 5 List]
/ by
Trybe Defense charging handle ” class=”wp-image-9297″/>The AR-15 gets so much of it’s design right…
It’s accurate, it’s reliable, it’s lightweight, and the ergonomics are near perfect…
But there is one area of the design that I think needs an upgrade over the standard government part… And that part is the charging handle…
The standard mil-spec charging handle is simply too small to easily manipulate with one hand, and that manipulation is limited to one side…
Now if you’re looking to upgrade your rifle’s charging handle, there are a ton of great aftermarket options…
That said, one of the best I’ve found that combines both features and an affordable price tag is the Trybe Defense Charging Handle…
And truth be told, Trybe Defense actually makes several versions of their charging handle to go with various firearms platforms…
So, below I’ll share with you a list of the Top 5 Trybe charging handles…
And then by the end of this post, you’ll have a good understanding of which one of the Trybe Defense charging handles is right for you…
Let’s get started…
Trybe Defense Charging Handle – A Quick Summary…
The best Trybe Defense charging handle is their Ambidextrous Magnite Charing Handle. It’s the best because it’s built from Magnite, which makes it strong and lightweight. It’s also ambidextrous, as the name implies, and the levers are long on both sides, which will give you clearance from scopes and other large optics…
Below, I’ll discus the Trybe Magnite Ambidextrous charging handle in more detail, and I’ll also share with you 4 other charging handle offerings from Trybe Defense.
1. Trybe Defense Ambidextrous Magnite Charging Handle
The first Trybe charging handle on my list is the Trybe Defense Ambidextrous Magnite Charging Handle, and there are several reasons why…
First of all, this is the Trybe Defense charging handle that is built for the standard 5.56/.223 AR 15 platform…
And just by looking at it, I’m sure you can tell that the lever’s are ambidextrous and extended…
This allows you to easily manipulate your charing handle with one hand, even if you have a scope on your AR…
And obviously, it can be done whether you’re a left-handed or right handed shooter…
Another realy cool feature of this charing handle is that it’s constructed from Magnite, which is a material that’s around 30% lighter that 6061 T6 aluminum, and it’s also stronger as well…
The levers on this charging handle also have grippy texturing, so you’ll be able to charge your rifle (or clear malfunctions) even in wet or slippery conditions…
And it features a Hexagonal Electro Nickel Boron Nitride Coating, which reduces friction and makes charging your rifle super smooth…
All in all, the Trybe Defense Magnite Ambi charing handle is one of the best charging handles on the market, and it also comes in at a competitive price point considering what you get.

2. Trybe Defense AR-10 Ambidextrous Enhanced Mil-Spec Charging Handle
The next charing handle on the list is the Trybe Defense AR-10 Ambidextrous Enhanced Mil-Spec Charging Handle, and obviously, this is an option if you have an AR-10 style rifle which fires 7.62/.308 rounds…
The charging handle is constructed from 6061-T6 Aircraft Grade Aluminum, and it’s built to be tough…
It’s also ambidextrous, which is great for right-handed and left-handed shooters, and the levers are long which gives you more control when manipulating your rifle…
On top of that, this charging handle also features a hard coat anodized coating, which will help it remain corrosion free, and the levers are textured to give you a bit of extra grip when charging your rifle or clearing malfunctions…
Last, this charging handle allows you to smoothly charge your rifle, and it’s also very reasonably priced…
If you’re looking for a charging handle for an AR-10, it’s just a no-brainer.

3. Trybe Defense Ambidextrous Charging Handle for Sig Sauer MCX
Another fantastic Trybe Charging Handle option is the Trybe Defense Ambidextrous Charging Handle for the Sig Sauer MCX…
The Sig MCX has been gaining in popularity in recent years (along with an number of other Sig guns), and even though it’s no where near the level of the AR-15 in terms of popularity, there are a lot of these rifles out there…
So if you have an MCX and want to upgrade the charging handle that comes standard from Sig, the Trybe Defense is a great option…
For starters, this charging handle is constructed from 7075-T6 Aluminum, so it’s super strong and built for hard use…
On top of that, it also gives you a nice, smooth pull when charging your MCX, and it features a Mil-Spec Type 3 Hard Coat Anodized coating, which means it can handle rainy or wet conditions without fear that it’ll start to corrode…
It is, as the name says, ambidextrous, as all charging handles should be at this point, and the long levers on each side give you plenty of clearance if your running a scope or large optic on your MCX…
All in all, this charging handle is a fantastic upgrade if you want to soup up your MCX and take it to the next level.

4. Trybe Defense Ambidextrous Charging Handle for Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22
I love .22’s and I love the Smith & Wesson M&P 15, and of course when you combine the two, you get a fantastic AR chambered in .22 long rifle called the Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22…
Aside from being an absolute blast to shoot, this .22 is a fantastic rifle because it can help you train on the AR-15 platform and save money on ammunition while doing it…
And heres the thing, you can now upgrade the charging handle on your M&P 15-22, to better match the charging handle on your M&P 15 (or any other AR-15 that you might have) with the Trybe Defense Ambidextrous Charging Handle for the Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22…
Even though this charging handle is built for a .22, it a very solid accessory. It’s built from 7075-T6 Aluminum, which makes it very strong, and it als features a mil-spec anodized coating…
Aside from that, it’s also smooth to operate, ambidextrous, and features long levers, so you can easily manipulate it on the M&P15-22!

5. Trybe Defense Ambidextrous Charging Handle for Sig Sauer MPX
The last charging handle on my list is the Trybe Defense Ambidextrous Charging Handle for the Sig Sauer MPX…
If you’re not familiar with the MPX, it’s basically Sig’s version of an updated submachine gun…
It fires the 9mm cartridge, and many of the design cues are taken from the AR-15 when it comes to the ergonomics of the MPX…
For example, it features an AR-style charging handle, and just as the standard GI mil-spec charging handle can be improved, so can the stock charging handle on the MPX…
As usual, the Trybe MPX charging handle is made from 7075-T6 aluminum, which makes it strong and reliable…
But aside from that, it also features that same hard anodized coating, ambidextrous controls, long levers, and smooth action, that you get with all the other charging handles the come from Trybe Defense…
An just like the rest of the products made by Trybe, it’s an affordable accessory to add onto your gun.

Trybe Defense Chassis [Is It Right For You…?]
/ by
Let’s face it…
A chassis system can really bring your bolt gun to the next level…
It’s just more sturdy that most rifle stocks, which translates in to you getting better accuracy out of your rifle…
And because chassis systems are typically made from aluminum, they’re better at facing the elements as well…
Now, some chassis systems can get incredibly expensive, but one of the best that I’ve found that still remains affordable is the Trybe Defense Chassis…
Now it’s proper name is actually, the Trybe Defense R.O.C.S (Rapid Offense Chassis System), and there are several reasons why I’m a big fan of it…
Below, I’ll outline exactly what you get with this chassis system, and by the end of this post, you should have a good understanding of whether or not it’s going to work well for you…
Let’s get into it…
Trybe Defense Chassis – A Quick Summary…
The Trybe Defense Chassis is an affordable chassis system that is compatible with several short action (and 1 mini action) bolt action rifles. It includes a sturdy aluminum chassis, an adjustable butt stock, an adjustable cheek riser, and an ergonomic grip. Installation of the chassis is very easy, and it can be had in 4 color options…
Below, I’ll give you more detail about the Trybe Defense ROCS Chassis system.
Materials & Design Of The Trybe Defense R.O.C.S. (Rapid Offense Chassis System)…
Materials…
The Trybe Defese ROCS Chassis is built to be sturdy and durable, and it uses very high quality materials…
For starters, the Chassis is made from 6061-T6 Aluminum. This gives you a very stable platform to make accurate shots from, and at the same time, it keeps the whole system relatively lightweight…
On top of that, it’s also Type III Hard Anodized, so it can handle tough weather and the elements, and the forward end of the Chassis includes M-LOK slots on the bottom and on the sides which will allow you to easily mount accessories light a bipod…
Additionally, the pistol grip and adjustable stock system that you get included with the ROCS are constructed from high strength polymer.
Design…
The overall design of the Trybe Defense R.O.C.S. includes a lot of useful features…
Like I mentioned earlier, the front end of the chassis includes M-LOK slots in the 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions…
This allows you to easily mount a bipod on the end of the system, but there are a number of other accessories you could add on as well…
The front end also provides you with room for a free floated barrel…
This is incredibly important when it comes to barrel harmonics and making those super accurate shots…
Aside from that, the polymer pistol grip that you get included with the ROCS is designed to give you a very natural grip angle when shooting…
It’s not severely swept back at an awkward angle the way some AR-15 grips are, and if for some reason it doesn’t fit you and your particular shooting preferences, you can swap it out for any true AR-15 grip that works for you…
I also really like the design of the stock system that you get with the ROCS…
You can adjust the length of pull in the range of 13 inches to 14.5 inches using the included spacer system…
And you can also adjust the cheek riser to get the perfect cheek weld when you’re aiming to make those accurate hits…
On top of all that, the ROCS Chassis system will accept a maximum barrel diameter of 1.25 inches, and it accepts AICS pattern magazines (except for the Howa 1500 mini version), giving you all the rounds capacity that you’ll need.
Compatibility Of The Trybe Defense ROCS Chassis…
The Trybe Defense ROCS Chassis is compatible with a number of fantastic, accurate shooting rifles. These rifles include…
- Remington Model 700 Short Action
- Ruger American Rifle Short Action
- Savage Model 10 Short Action
- Howa 1500 Short Action
- Howa 1500 Mini Action
On top of that, the Chassis system comes in 4 colors for each of these firearms:
- Black
- FDE
- OD Green
- Gray
Installation…
Installation of the Trybe Defense ROCS is very simple and easy. All you have to do is remove the original stock from your rifle…
After that, put your action and barrel into the chassis system. From there, all you need to do is tighten down two screws, and Voilà, you have a very stable chassis rifle with a free floated barrel…
Now one tip that may help you when tightening the screws is to use a little bit of non permanent threadlocker like Blue loctite…
This will help keep you screws in place even with all the vibrations that come from firing your rifle, and it should keep everything tight and stable which will help you maintain a high level of accuracy.
Included Parts…
When you pick up a Trybe Defense ROCS Chassis, there are several items that you’ll get in the box…
First of all, you get the 6061-T6 Aluminum Chassis, and again, it’ll come in which ever color you chose to go with your rifle…
You’ll also get the grip and adjustable stock…
Finally, you’ll get the action screws for mounting your bolt gun, and if you have a Savage Model 10, there’s an included offset washer as well.
PROs and CONs of the Rapid Offense Chassis System…
Pros…
- It’s lightweight
- It’s well built and sturdy
- It’s available for several bolt action rifles
- The length of pull is adjustable
- The cheek riser is adjustable
- The grip is ergonomic (and replaceable if it doesn’t fit you)
- Includes M-LOK slots for easily attaching accessories
- Comes in 4 cool color options
- Installation is easy
- It’s affordable
Cons…
- Only available for 5 rifle types
- Cheek riser only adjusts to 3 different positions
Trybe Defense Chassis Review – Final Thoughts…
In the end, I think the Trybe Defense ROCS is a fantastic chassis system, and I highly recommend it for several reasons…
Click The Button Below To Learn More About The Trybe Defense Chassis:
It’s built from very sturdy aluminum, which will help you get more accuracy out of your rifle…
It’s lightweight, so you can acutally carry your rifle around for hunting or just recreational shooting…
It includes an adjustable butt stock and cheek riser, so you can fit it perfectly to your body size…
It’s easy to get installed onto your gun, and last, it’s affordable, which is seldom the case for a quality chassis system…
In my opinion, if you want to upgrade your rifle with a chassis system, it’s currently the best bang for your buck that’s available on the market.
Trybe Optics Enhancer [Is It The Right Scope Magnifier For You?]
/ by
I love Low Power Variable Optics (LPVOs)…
I know my blog is called ‘Red Dot’ Shooters, but I do shoot with a variety of different scopes too…
And here’s the thing, sometimes it’s nice to just have a little (or a big!) boost in terms of magnification…
Now, we all know that there are a ton of magnifiers out there which give you that magnification boost when it comes to red dots…
But the cool thing is that that there are also magnifiers that you can use to boost up a scope’s magnification as well…
One of the best ones I’ve found is the Trybe Optics Enhancer, and in this review, I’m going to tell you everything you need to know about it…
In the end, you’ll have a clear understanding of what you get with this Trybe Optics magnification doubler and you should have all the information you need to determine if it’s going to work for you or not…
Let’s get started!
Trybe Optics Enhancer – Is It The Right Scope Magnification Doubler For You…?
The Trybe Optics Enhancer is a great scope enhancer for many reasons. It doubles your scope’s magnification, and at the same time, it keeps your scope’s glass clear. It’s also a durable accessory and easy to install…
Below I’ll explain with more detail why I think the Trybe Enhancer is a fantastic scope magnifier…
What Is A Scope Enhancer?
Let’s get this out of the way before we jump into the details of the Trybe Optics Enhancer…
A scope enhancer does exactly what the name says, it enhances the performance of the scope by giving it more magnification…
Now, the Trybe Optics Enhancer is a magnification doubler…
So whatever magnification your scope currently has, you’ll be able to get double that amount with the Trybe Enhancer (even if your scope has a range of magnification levels)…
For example, if your scope is a 1-6x LPVO, then with the Enhancer your scope will be transformed into a 2-12x scope, which is pretty cool!
If your optic is a 3-9x scope, then with the Enhancer your scope will be boosted to a 6-18x scope!
Obviously, having that boost in magnification will allow you to shoot more accurately and at further distances…
And that’s the main benefit that you’ll get from going with a scope enhancer.
Trybe Optics Enhancer – Optics Quality…
As I mentioned earlier, the Trybe Defense Optics Enhancer will double the amount of magnification that you’re able to get from your scope…
But the problem with some scope enhancers is that they warp your glass and give you an unclear (or dark) sight picture when you add them to your optic…
The good news is that the Trybe Scope Enhancer doesn’t do that. With it, you still get a crisp and clear image when looking through your scope…
So you’ll be able to see your target clearly and put rounds on target accurately…
The reason Trybe is able to give you a clear sight picture is because the glass on the Enhancer has a proprietary Diamond bright coating, which enhances the brightness and reduces glare when looking through your optic…
It also has a minor effect on the light transmission of your scope, and it won’t narrow your scope’s field of view much either…
On top of all that, it’s also a scratch resistant coating which will help protect the glass on the Enhancer no matter where you plan on taking it.
Trybe Optics Enhancer – Specs…
Like I mentioned earlier, the Trybe Enhancer is built to be durable. The body of the Enhancer is made from high quality aluminum…
On top of that, it’s also IP67 Waterproof so it can handle rainy or wet conditions without having any issues…
It’s also shockproof to handle the recoil from your rifle, and fog proof as well.
Size And Weight…
Another cool thing about the Enhancer is that it doesn’t add a lot of size or weight to your optic…
It has a width and height that come in at only 1.7 inches, and the overall length is 3.3 inches…
When it’s actually mounted onto your scope, it adds around 2.5 extra inches to the overall optic…
Aside from all that, the weight of the Enhancer is only 8.2 ounces. So it won’t add a bunch of unnecessary bulk and weight to your rifle…
Last, the objective lens diameter is 40mm, which helps give you good light transmission when looking through your scope.
Compatibility And Installation…
There are 3 main variations of the Trybe Optics Scope Enhancer which fit different size scope…
The first model comes with an adapter that allows you to mount the Enhancer to a scope with a 1 inch tube or a 30mm tube…
The second model comes with an adapter that allows you to mount the Enhancer to a scope with a 34mm tube…
The last model comes with two adapters, and that will give you the ability to mount the Enhancer to a scope with a 1 inch tube, a 30mm tube, or a 34mm tube.
Installation…
Installation of the Enhancer is also pretty easy, and it’s really cool that you can attach it to your scope without having to permanently modify your optic…
You start by sliding the mount portion of the Enhancer onto the end of your scope tube and just tightening it down with screws…
After that, you simply screw on the optic portion of the Enhancer…
You will want to adjust the windage and elevation screws on that portion of your magnifier to ensure that it lines up with your scope (and that your zero stays the same)…
And then, to completely remove the Enhancer, just remove all the parts in the reverse order, and your scope will be just as it was beforehand (again, with no permanent modifications, which is pretty cool).
Applications And Versatility…
The Enhancer is perfect when you want a boost in magnification, but there may be times when you want to go back to your scope’s original magnification levels…
The cool thing is that your can easily remove the optic portion of the enhancer by simply unscrewing it…
And you can use your scope’s true magnification levels without having to go through the hassle of removing the Enhancer’s mount.
This adds a level of versatility to the Trybe Optics Enhancer that I really like because it makes it really quick and easy to add double the magnification level when you want it…
And then super easy and quick to go back to your scope’s lower magnification levels when it’s advantageous.
Can It Be Used With Your Scope’s Bullet Drop Compensator…?
The answer is yes, but your scope’s BDC will change with the Enhancer mounted on it…
In fact, the ranging reticles will actually be halved because you’re adding double the magnification to your scope…
So what you’re going to want to do is shoot your rifle with the enhancer on it, and verify the BDC at different ranges.
PROs And CONs…
PROs of the Trybe Optics Scope Enhancer…
- Double Magnification
- Clear Glass
- Durable Aluminum
- Waterproof
- Shockproof
- Fogproof
- Compact Size and Weight
- Easy Install
- Easy to Remove or Attach (Once Installed)
- No Permanent Modification to Your Scope
Cons…
- If you scope has a Bullet Drop Compensator (BDC), it will be changed because of the double magnification you’re adding
Trybe Optics Enhancer Review – Final Thoughts…
In the end, I highly recommend the Trybe Optics Scope Enhancer if you’re looking to get a significant boost in your scope’s magnification level…
Click The Button Below To Learn More About The Trybe Optics Enhancer:
It’s durable. It keeps your scope’s glass clear. It’s not bulky, and it’s easy to install…
Aside from all of that, it’s also a very affordable way to enhance your scope’s magnification, and at this point Trybe has a great reputation for making quality accessories that are still reasonably price.
Best PSA Dagger Upgrades [Top 9 List]
/ by
I love affordable guns…
But even if they’re reliable and accurate, you can sometime run into a problem…
And that problem is that they can be very simple and hard to upgrade…
Lucky, that’s not the case with the PSA Dagger…
It is a reliable and accurate little gun, but because it’s based on a Gen 3 Glock platform (and because it’s very popular)…
There are a number of PSA Dagger upgrades that you take advantage of…
And in this post, I’m going to share with you some of the upgrades I’ve done to my personal Dagger, and share with you some of the potential upgrades you can do as well…
Let’s get straight into it!
Note: I don’t cover holsters in this post. If you’d like to see My Top 7 PSA Dagger Holsters Go Here!
PSA Dagger Upgrades – What’s Right For Your Gun…?
As I said before, there are a lot of ways that you can upgrade your PSA Dagger…
Some of the upgrades can come straight from Palmetto State Armory, and some are just standard Glock or PSA Dagger aftermarket parts…
Now, it should also be said that there are a number of different variations of the Dagger that PSA sells…
Some of the models are pretty plain-Jane, but others actually have upgrades included on them…
So just keep in mind as we’re going through that you might already have some upgraded Dagger parts, depending on which version of the gun you purchased…
PSA Dagger Slide
One area that you should think about upgrading on your Dagger is actually the whole slide…
And this may or may not be an important upgrade for you depending on which version of the PSA Dagger you already have…
For example, if you have a slide without an optic cut, the first thing I would do is swap it out for one that does (my blog is called red dot shooters after all haha)…
Iron sights are OK to shoot with, but I love red dot sights on handguns because (with a little bit of practice) they just allow you to shoot faster and more accurately…
Now at the time that I’m writing this, PSA currently offers 8 different versions of the Dagger slide, and any one of them will fit on your dagger frame regardless of whether you have the compact frame or the full size frame…
Out of the 8, my two favorite options are the classic Extreme Carry Cut and the Compact X, but I’ll list all the options on this post a little further below…
I love the Extreme Carry Cut because it has all the things that Gucci Glocks typically have such as front slide serrations, relief cuts, and cool chamfering…
It’s also a compact slide so it will sit flush with the end of your frame, and be a little bit easier to conceal carry…
I also love the Compact X slide which is a little newer. This slide also has front slide serrations and cool relief cuts, but even though it will fit on a compact frame, it gives you a slide length similar to the Glock 17…
This larger slide is more of a ‘Duty’ size, and the extra mass in the slide makes it a really smooth shooter…
You can check out all of the PSA Dagger slide options below (Just remember to look at versions that give you an optic cut):
Other Slide Options…
Now because the PSA Dagger is a Gen 3 Glock Clone, it’s important to remember that you can actually upgrade your gun with any Gen 3 Glock slide…
There are a ton of options out there, but one of my favorites is the RMR Cut Slide for a Glock 19 (Gen 3) by Brownells…
I like it because it’s just a perfect match with the PSA Dagger Frame, and it will give you the ability to mount a red dot sight at an affordable price point similar to PSA’s optic cut Dagger slides.
PSA Dagger Optic
Now, that’s I’ve droned on about getting an optic cut slide, the next upgrade you should consider for your Dagger is a quality optic…
Now, PSA currently offers slides that are cut for an RMR footprint and slides that are cut for a Docter footprint…
Out of the two, my favorite is the RMR footprint because it gives you a lot more options when picking your optic…
But truth be told, there are some high quality Docter footprint optics available as well…
My Personal PSA Dagger Optic…
Right now, you can see that I’m running the Swampfox Kraken optic on my personal Dagger, and I love it!
The Kraken is an enclosed emitter red dot (which is why it looks so boxy), but that makes it an extremely durable handgun sight…
It also eliminates any chance of debris blocking the red dot’s emitter, which is a possibility with traditional open emitter pistol optics…
I think the Kraken is a great fit with the PSA Dagger because it comes with an RMR adapter plate, so it’s super easy to get it mounted onto a Dagger slide with an RMR optic cut…
But it also gives you a clear sight window and a nice, crisp 3 MOA dot to help you make fast and accurate shots…
I’m very happy with the performance of the Swampfox Kraken on my Dagger, and right now, I have no plans to change it out for something else…
Holosun 507C
Another amazing optic that will fit the RMR cut Dagger slide is the Holosun 507C…
I currently have one of these bad boys on my Glock 45, and I would have no problem mounting it on a PSA Dagger…
I like the 507C because it’s affordable, super durable, and packed with useful features like ultra long battery life, a Solar panel to back up your battery, and Shake Awake technology to extend your battery life even further…
It also gives you 3 reticle options to choose from including a 2 MOA dot, a 32 MOA circle, or the Holosun Circle Dot Reticle which is a combination of the two…
And let me tell you, the Circle Dot Reticle is awesome because it makes finding and tracking your dot super quick and easy…
But at the same time, you still have the small 2 MOA dot in the center when you need to make shots that require a high level of accuracy…
All in all, you can’t go wrong by going with the Holosun 507C.
Crimson Trace RAD Pro…
Another fantastic red dot option that you should consider if your Dagger slide has a Docter cut is the Crimson Trace RAD Pro…
The RAD Pro gives you a large sight window, long battery life, Shake-to-wake technology which extends your battery life even more…
And it comes with a crisp 3 MOA dot. I’ve recently been testing one out, and it has now become my go-to Docter footprint optic.
There are other sights I could mention here, like the Holosun EPS, the Trijicon RMR, the Vortex Venom, and others, but I could go on all day in this section…
So it’s best if we stop here and move on to the next upgrade…
PSA Dagger Sights
The stock PSA dagger sights are OK (they are better than plastic stock Glock sights), but they can be upgraded…
And I should mention here that if you are getting an optic cut slide from PSA, then you already get upgraded sights which are raised to co-witness with your optic…
But if you’re going to run an iron sight gun, I recommend you go with a fiber optic front sight because it helps you find and track your front sight better (which allows you to shoot faster)…
Luckily, PSA sells an affordable set of sights for the Dagger that come with a red fiber optic front sight…
But keep in mind that most sights that are designed for a Glock will fit in the Dagger, and there are tons and tons of options out there are on the market.
PSA Dagger Barrel
Another area that you can upgrade on your Dagger is the Barrel. As usual, there are many Dagger models that already come with an upgraded barrel…
But if your Dagger just came with a standard barrel, PSA offers:
- Fluted Barrels
- Threaded Barrels
- PVD Coated Barrels
- Stainless Barrels
- Spiral Fluted Barrels
- Honey Comb Barrels
- Copper Barrels
- Chameleon (Oil Slick) Barrels
The different coatings and colors look cool, which is great if you’re going for a Gucci Glock aproach…
But the Fluted barrels will save you a little bit of weight, and the threaded barrels will allow you to mount a suppressor or a compensator…
What’s the best PSA Dagger Compensator?
Like I said, if you have a Dagger with a threaded barrel you can put on a screw-on compensator, which will dampen the recoil significantly when you’re shooting…
Some of the best options on the market are currently: the Agency Arms Single Port Barrel Comp, the Strike Industries Micro Threaded Comp QUAD, and the Strike Industries Micro Threaded Comp CIRCLE…
All offer different benefits in terms of how effective they are verses how compact they are, and you can check them out if you’re interested by looking at the table below…
PSA Dagger Trigger Upgrades
As I said earlier, the PSA Dagger is a Gen 3 Glock clone, and it will take many of the aftermarket parts made for Generation 3 Glocks including trigger upgrades…
Why would you want to upgrade the PSA Dagger trigger?
I think the PSA Dagger trigger is pretty good right out of the box, but that being said, there is room for improvement…
For example, many people don’t like the PSA Dagger trigger shoe because it articulates or bends in the middle to incorporate the trigger safety…
You might be in this group, and you might prefer a bladed trigger safety that is more similar to the trigger shoe on an actual Glock…
If that’s the case there are many options for you, and you can check out my article on PSA Dagger Trigger Upgrades Here…
Timney Alpha Glock Competition Trigger…
Without a doubt the most popular trigger upgrade is to put a timney trigger in your PSA Dagger…
These triggers give you a crisp, 3 pound trigger pull, which will definitely help you shoot faster and more accurately…
The Timney Alpha Glock trigger also gives you an aluminum, straight trigger shoe with a wide safety blade, which makes it very comfortable to use…
And it can be installed into your PSA Dagger without the need to actually take it to a gunsmith, which is nice…
Apex Trigger For PSA Dagger…
Another great option is an Apex trigger for your PSA Dagger, specifically the Apex Tactical Specialties Glock Action Enhancement Trigger…
This trigger is awesome, first of all, because you get the Apex trigger shoe which has a trigger blade safety and is extremely comfortable to use…
Aside from that, this trigger gives you a shorter take up and a smoother pull than the stock PSA Dagger trigger…
And it has a much more crisp break that the Dagger trigger as well…
It’s also drop in part, so no need for a gunsmith, and overall it’s another fantastic trigger upgrade that you should consider for your Dagger…
PSA Dagger Magazine
The PSA Dagger comes with a Magpul Glock magazine. These magazines are good, and I’ve never had any problems with the ones I own…
But they are made from polymer, and they’re simply not as rugged as a stock Glock magazine…
OEM Glock magazines have been proven for reliability and durability over many, many years now…
And they have functioned perfectly in my PSA Dagger…
So if you intend to use your Dagger as a defensive pistol in anyway, I recommend you upgrade the magazines you’re using to stock Glock magazines (I like to have 5 per gun)…
And reserve the Magpul magazine that the pistol comes with for training or recreational use on the range.
PSA Dagger Weapon Light
I always like to put weapon lights on my handguns if they have a rail to accommodate them (which the PSA Dagger does), and there are 2 reasons why…
The first reason is obvious. A weapon light gives you the ability to use your Dagger with both hands in low-light situations…
This is actually a super important reason to have a weapon light on your gun…
…because often times defensive shootings do occur at night, and you absolutely MUST identify your target before making a shot.
The second reason is because a weapon light adds weight to the front end of you handgun and it actually dampens recoil and makes the gun easier to shoot…
Having said that, here are a couple of weapon light options that are a great fit for the PSA Dagger…
Streamlight TLR-1 HL…
The Streamlight TLR-1 HL is my go-to weapon light for many reasons…
First of all, it’s a very powerful and bright weapon light which gives you 1,000 lumens and a wide candela…
On top of that, it’s also easy to actuate the light from either side with the toggles…
And it’s also easy to mount on your gun with the screw on system (if you have a rail on your frame like the one on the PSA Dagger)…
In addition to that, the TLR-1 HL is a very ruggedly built weapon light, and it also has wide holster compatibility which is a pretty big deal for me…
Creative XP Glass Eagle…
If you’re wondering what weapon light I have on my PSA Dagger in the pictures…
…it’s actually a budget light that I have been testing called the Creative XP Glass Eagle, and so far I’ve been very impressed.
The Glass Eagle is modeled after the Surefire X300, and I really like that because it means there are a ton of holster options that are compatible with this light…
But aside from that, the Glass Eagle gives you 1,000 lumens (which is perfect for identifying targets at night)…
And it’s also built pretty ruggedly so it can handle the recoil from being mounted on your gun…
So far, I think it’s a fantastic option if you want a budget light with good build quality, 1,000 lumens, and great holster compatibility to go on your PSA Dagger…
PSA Dagger Magwell
If you want to upgrade your Dagger with a magwell, there are a few options that are currently available….
First of all, it’s important to keep in mind that you won’t be able to use a Gen 3 Glock magwell because the grip on a Glock is significantly different from a PSA Dagger…
But here are a couple of options that are currently available…
GG Magwells Polymer Magwell…
These magwells are polymer, affordable, and easy to install. Just be sure to get the model that is compatible with the Dagger frame that you have because they are not cross compatible…
>> GG Magwells PSA Dagger Compact Magwell
>> GG Magwells PSA Dagger Fullsize S Magwell
SLR Rifleworks Aluminum PSA Dagger Magwell…
If you’re looking for an aluminum magwell for your PSA Dagger, you should check out the options from SLR Rifleworks…
Again, be sure to select the one that is compatible with the Dagger frame that you have…
