That's a PSA Dagger which is a Glock 19 clone. Very nice for the price (~$300). I'm a big PSA fan, but not really a Glock guy....although I now have....4 of them clones. Mostly cause I have 4 grown boys and....a gun habit.
My EDC is still a Sig

Had some "family" guests over this weekend for some shooting. My daughter in law's father (who is a German citizen) is visiting for 2 months so we introduced him to 'merica.
His first time ever shooting a gun....or two....or twelve.
He was very interested in trying different guns; both pistol and rifle - having very limited access/opportunity in Europe.
We only had a couple hours so he shot all automatics...
Started with .22 G2G Firefly (kind of a Sig copy, made in Germany). I have a LOT of trouble with this gun. It fails to fire way too often. Should have brought out the Taurus TX22 - it fires every time....no matter the ammo. (I have actually been very happy with all 3 of my Taurus guns; TX22, G3, G2c
9mm: Glock 17, Sig 228, Canik TP9sfx (He liked the Canik the best, which is no surprise as it is the largest frame and longest barrel of them all....he did NOT like the Glock)
PSA Rock 5.7 - He LOVED this one, and it is fun to shoot. very fast, very flat shooter. I have a Holosun 407k optic on it. This is a fantastic target gun (don't make me get my targets and pencils out again) Also a full frame and longer barrel so it is easier to control
Then we gave him M&P15-22 rifle (.22 caliber AR platform).
Then AR-15 - couple different builds. He was a little intimidated by these. I think some of that was just how loud they are (yes we were wearing hearing protection)
Gave him the AKV to shoot (9mm AK pistol..."carbine") Technically pistol, but it really is more like a carbine IMO. EVERYONE loves shooting this gun. It is an absolute dream. Never seen anyone shoot it and not smile.
Ended with .300 BO AR pistol build. He likes this one as well. Surprisingly this gun is always one of the favorites.
We didn't get him into the AR-10 or .308 Bolt guns, or the Shotguns. Figured we'd save his shoulder for another day. ;D
Good (and safe) time had by all....
except for maybe the guy who provided all the ammo (me). Nah...I had a good time, but it was an expensive afternoon.
75 rounds .22
220 rounds 9mm
100 rounds 5.7
240 rounds 5.56
150 rounds .300BO
Should have gotten out exclusively the revolvers and lever action guns - would have saved a bundle.

Always fun watching a gun virgin enjoy some Merica for the first time! Could of definitely saved a bundle if ya only brought wheel and bolt guns. lol
alta:
.22 is cheap, 9mm is cheap, 5.56 is cheap
I don’t have a .300, but I do shoot a bit of 6.8spc. 6.8 runs at least $1.50 per round for commercial stuff.
Lever guns are cheap to shoot :huh:
minimums…
.357 plan on .85 a round
.41 mag runs $1.25 per round
.44 mag runs $1 per
.45 colt runs $1 per
.454 minimum $1.45 per
.308ME is over $2 per
.30-30 is over $1.60 per
.35 Rem is $2.75 per
.444 is $2.60 per
.45-70 is $3 per for what I shoot, cowboy loads are a little cheaper
revolvers are similar..
.357, .41, .44, .45, .454 plus
.30 carbine $1 per
.480 $2.50 per
Most of that I have dies for. But I still run quality bullets, meaning I’m not saving much over commercial ammo.
