Scope note: The directory's first non-Glock record, and the first built under the widened source policy (2026-08-12). Every recorded value is PSA's own, but read via Web Archive: palmettostatearmory.com returns 403 to direct fetching and serves a bot-protection interstitial to the browser, which this directory does not attempt to defeat. The product source is a capture dated 2020-10-03 of the base listing (part 910111111) — the earliest archived capture of a plain, non-variant Dagger Compact page. THE SPECIFICATIONS ARE THEREFORE AS PUBLISHED IN 2020 AND MAY NOT BE CURRENT: PSA has since shipped Extreme Carry Cuts, SW1/SW3 and RMR-slide variants, all of which are separate listings under the base-model rule and none of which this record covers. Re-verify against a current PSA source whenever one becomes reachable. Two lower-tier sources were checked and both lost to the manufacturer capture, which is exactly what the tier rule is for: Buds Gun Shop (retailer) lists the action as "Double Action", which is wrong — PSA's own page says Striker Fired; and a Field & Stream review (editorial) gives a 4.5 in barrel and 7.65 in overall length against PSA's 3.9 in and 7.15 in, evidently describing a different variant while repeating the compact's 22.4 oz weight. Neither figure was recorded. PSA publishes imperial only, so every metric value here is converted by the directory and flagged as such. Two measurement-basis cautions before comparing this record with a Glock: PSA measures overall height WITHOUT a magazine, where Glock's height includes one, so the Dagger's 4.78 in is not comparable with the G19's 128 mm; and PSA publishes a single weight it calls "unloaded" without stating whether a magazine is fitted, so it is recorded under weightUnloaded rather than guessed into one of the two magazine-specific fields. Trigger pull is unrecorded: PSA publishes none, and the Field & Stream review's 4.5 lb is a measured figure, which the source policy forbids. Year introduced is unrecorded: no PSA launch announcement was found on either the live site or in the archive, and the 2020-10-03 capture evidences only that the model was listed by that date, not when it was introduced. Magazine: PSA states the pistol ships with one 15-round magazine and lists no optional capacities.

Verification boundary: Published technical data are rounded, may not reflect manufacturing tolerances, and may change without notice. MSRP is not recorded: most cited product pages do publish a price, but it changes without notice and independently of the specification, so this directory has no field for it and the row stays blank rather than carrying a figure that would silently go stale. Values marked ≈ were converted by this directory from the unit system the source published; the unmarked figure in the same row is the published one.

Evidence tiers backing this record: Manufacturer. Unmarked values come from manufacturer documentation; any value drawn from a lower tier is labeled inline with that tier. Where two sources disagreed, the higher tier was recorded and the disagreement noted.
