PSA Dagger Compact vs Glock 19 Gen5

By Cole Harlan, EditorUpdated Nov 5, 2026How we verifyEditorial standards

On paper the two are close: both list a 15-round magazine, PSA prints a 3.9″ barrel and 7.15″ overall length against Glock’s 4.02 inch and 7.28 inch. The biggest difference is how the numbers are labeled: PSA’s 4.78″ height is “Without Mag” and its 22.4 oz is “unloaded,” while Glock’s 5.04 inch height includes the magazine and its weights are split into without, empty and loaded magazine. Every figure is copied from each maker’s own product page, checked November 5, 2026.

Like for like: PSA prints “Without Mag” next to its height, so it is not the same measure as Glock’s “Height incl. Mag.”; we do not add or subtract anything to line them up. PSA’s 22.4 oz is labeled “unloaded” without saying whether the magazine is in, so we do not set it against a specific Glock figure; the closest Glock labels are 21.52 oz without a magazine and 23.63 oz with an empty one. Glock calls its width “Overall” and PSA prints “Overall Width.” This is the 3.9″ Extreme Carry Cuts model in black DLC (SKU 910115111); other Dagger sizes and finishes list different numbers and are not covered here. Glock notes its technical data “are rounded and do not reflect tolerances.” PSA prints a price on its page; we list none.

Which to pick (on paper)

If you want the shorter printed barrel and length: PSA lists a 3.9″ barrel and 7.15″ overall length; Glock lists 4.02 inch and 7.28 inch.
If you want the narrower printed width: PSA lists 1.28″ overall width; Glock lists 1.34 inch overall.
If you want the weight on a defined basis: Glock splits its weight into without, empty and loaded magazine. PSA prints a single 22.4 oz “unloaded” figure.
If you plan to mount a red dot: this PSA SKU lists steel sights and no optic cut, and the Glock page we read states none. Check the exact SKU with the maker before you buy a plate or optic.
