PSA Dagger Micro 9mm Shield Cut, Black

The PSA Dagger Micro is Palmetto State Armory's Glock 43X/G48 clone, built on slimline tooling and priced roughly $200 below a factory Glock 43X MOS. All Dagger Micro slides ship with a Shield RMSc / Holosun K footprint optic cut from the factory, so Holosun 407K, 507K, EPS Carry, Shield RMSc, and Sig Romeo Zero red dots mount directly without an adapter plate or aftermarket slide.

Magazine compatibility is the Micro's biggest practical win. The frame accepts standard Glock 43X and Glock 48 magazines, Shield Arms S15 magazines (with the steel mag catch swap), and PSA's own Dagger Micro 15-round magazine. The PSA Dagger Micro mag is a steel-body, polymer-catch-face hybrid that delivers the same 15-round flush-fit capacity as the S15 without requiring the steel mag catch swap, at roughly half the S15 price. Glock-pattern slimline dovetail sights drop in directly; Night Fision Stealth and XS R3D 2.0 slimline sights are confirmed fits.

The 3.41-inch barrel and 15.9-ounce unloaded weight put the Micro in the same envelope as the 43X MOS for IWB and AIWB carry. A Streamlight TLR-7 X Sub (slimline rail key version, not the 1913 key) is the go-to weapon light for the slim front rail. The trigger has a clone-frame catch: the plain Overwatch DAT shoe-and-bar swap reuses the frame's own trigger housing and does NOT fit the Micro, so it needs a complete drop-in kit that ships its own OEM Glock housing, such as the Overwatch PolyDAT Drop-In Kit. Holsters need a mold cut for the Dagger Micro, not a generic Glock 43X shell: the Micro's trigger-guard geometry differs enough that a 43X holster does not retain it reliably. T.Rex Arms offers a dedicated Dagger Micro fit.
