The PSA Dagger is a pistol designed with compatibility for specific magazine types in mind. This compatibility allows users to leverage existing magazine stocks and potentially reduce the cost of ownership by utilizing readily available and often less expensive magazines. Using Glock 19 magazines, for instance, offers access to a wide variety of capacities, materials, and aftermarket accessories.
Magazine interchangeability offers significant advantages, including logistical simplicity and cost-effectiveness. Standardization around a common magazine pattern simplifies ammunition management and reduces the need for specialized magazine pouches or other accessories. Historically, firearm platforms have benefited from adopting widely used magazine patterns, fostering a robust aftermarket and allowing users to benefit from economies of scale. This cross-compatibility can be a critical factor for both individual users and organizations.
