Palmetto State Armory Releases the Dagger C-1 with Integrated Slide Compensator

Palmetto State Armory (PSA) is proud to announce the newest addition to its handgun lineup with the release of the PSA Dagger C-1. Designed for shooters who demand both performance and value, the Dagger C-1 is a compact, polymer-framed 9mm pistol that combines modern ergonomics with industry-standard features. The new pistol includes aggressive front and rear slide serrations, an RMR cut, and serrated suppressor-height sights. What sets this model apart is its integrated slide compensator, originally available only on the Dagger Micro Compact. Now it’s available on the Dagger C-1 helping minimize muzzle flip and recoil for faster follow-up shots on target.

Below are the product details from PSA’s website on the Dagger C-1.

Product Details

A Compact polymer-framed pistol with integrated compensator, the PSA Dagger-C introduces game-changing ergonomics and controllability. Made from high-quality stainless steel and advanced polymers, this pistol lives up to today’s highest expectations while maintaining the unmatched Palmetto State Armory value. Chambered in 9x19mm, this Dagger is fed from a supplied PMAG® 15 GL9™ (15-Round) magazine and operated by a smooth single-action striker-fired trigger mechanism. The Palmetto Dagger is feature-rich even in its standard form, yet also provides a framework for further customization, as it is highly compatible with many aftermarket offerings. The Extreme Carry Cuts™ offer smoother edges to the rear and front of the slide to help with faster drawing without snagging the user’s holster while the slide-integrated compensator helps to reduce muzzle rise and felt recoil. This slide is also finished with a Gray Cerakote coating and RMR footprint for compatibility with RMR-style reflex sights. A black cover plate is also included.
