I foolowed the GHG link and came up with this PSA Intro, which has been mentioned several times in the thread, thought it worth posting:
Palmetto State Armory PS9 Dagger: $300 Glock Killer
by: Richard Johnson
At the 2020 SHOT Show, Palmetto State Armory announced a new 9mm pistol called the PS9 Dagger.
With its combination of features and price, the new gun stands to make quite a splash in the industry.
General Information
The short story is the new PS9 Dagger is a Glock clone. I don’t mean that in a disparaging way, but instead as shorthand for a polymer-framed, striker-fired pistol that takes Glock magazines.
Palmetto State Armory (PSA) will make several variations of the gun, but the basic model is the one that will ship first. It has many parts that are compatible with the Gen3 Glock pistols including the magazine and trigger group. PSA ships the PS9 with Magpul P15 magazines, but you can use your existing G17, G19 and other 9mm magazines with the gun.
Obviously, the gun differs from the Glock pistol in a number of ways. One of the things that Glock is often criticized for is the use of plastic sights. PSA elected to use metal sights on the PS9 Dagger. The metal sights use a 3-dot arrangement and are far more durable than standard polymer sights.
Additional features include:
forward cocking serrations on the slide
an accessory rail for a weapon light or laser
stainless steel guide rod
a moderately aggressive texture that is not likely to damage clothing but still provides a positive grip
frame cut-outs at magazine well to better grab magazines should you need to strip them from the gun because of a malfunction
undercut trigger guard to allow a higher grip on the pistol
a barrel with traditional rifling (unlike the Glock, lead bullets should be ok)
Palmetto State Armory states the PS9 Dagger will be backed by a full lifetime warranty.
Pricing
Even if you aren’t impressed by the features of this gun, the price might get your attention:
$299.99
Yes, that’s correct. A Glock 19 compatible pistol for less than $300. With shipping and transfer fees, I estimate the average person should be able to get one out the door for about $360-370.
Assuming that these guns run as reliably as a Glock pistol – and only time will tell us that – a $299.99 defensive pistol is a major value. The price alone will sell many of these pistols.
It also makes you wonder what Glock’s margins look like.
Variations
Customer demand will ultimately drive variations of the basic PS9 pistol. However, Palmetto State Armory does have a number of variations already in the works.
Future releases will offer suppressor-ready versions that include threaded barrels and suppressor-height sights. Also, there will be options for optics ready PS9 Dagger pistols.
PSA also suggested that custom pistols might be available also.
What are your thoughts about the new Palmetto State Armory PS9 Dagger? I’m cautiously optimistic about them. A $300 Glock clone would be huge in the marketplace.

Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the President... - Theodore Roosevelt, Lincoln and Free Speech, Metropolitan Magazine, Volume 47, Number 6, May 1918.
Every Communist must grasp the truth. Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. Our principle is that the Party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the Party Mao Zedong, 6 November, 1938 - speech to the Communist Patry of China's sixth Central Committee
