In the market for a slim line "Glock". Been looking hard at the PSAs. Really like that the C-1 comes with a comp but maintains the 48 length. Also really want to buy in on the reality of Glock reliability. Just want some opinions and real-world experience before purchase.

Between your 2 choices, I would choose the G48 if for carry/defense, or either if for range/fun only.
I have a few 19-size Dagger frames and slides, and I really like them, but I want a few more years of reliability data before trusting them for carry/defense.

If I was looking to make a slimline for carry it would be the Glock. But if it was just another gun on the pile I wasn’t going to carry, I would likely go with the dagger. I wouldn’t mind owning a Dagger Slimline just to have one, it’s looks great. If it proved itself to me personally over the years I could migrate to carrying it.
I’m also no convinced those slide based “comps” are all they are cracked up to be. Even sig released a 365 Macro without it. I’d look at the Dager without it personally. Or a 43x sized Dager with a real Comp on the barrel.
But would also just not buy either and get a 19.5 and call it good.

If you want Glock reliability, then the obvious answer is the 48.
Not sure what the point of the compensator is on a defensive pistol, other than another frill.

Only issue with that is having to take apart the comp when taking apart the gun.

Agree. I briefly went the comp route for a G20 and a G22. It didn't make a huge difference, and I didn't like not being able to remove the barrel for routine cleaning. If I were shooting competitively, it would probably be worth it, but I didn't like having to bring out the heat gun every time I wanted to remove the comp/barrel.
OK, I'll be the outlier here. When I was working in a gun store I was impressed with the apparent quality of the Dagger pistols. I believe that for most of us, those firearms would be good enough. Having a firearm capable of lasting through a 50,000 round torture test would be great, but realistically I'm only going to fire a fraction of those rounds during my use of it. When I have a chance, I'll buy one of the Micro Dagger X-1 models, because I don't want a ported barrel on a self defense gun. Of course I'll test with my carry ammunition; 300 fmj and 200 of my carry hollow points is what I do. If it passes that, I'll consider it good to go. My last two handgun purchases were a Shadow Systems MR920 and a Glock G48 MOS. With each I was unimpressed with the smoothness of the trigger bars and connectors. Both had jagged edges on their connectors that required stoning. Nothing is perfect and I'm willing to do that for a smooth trigger pull. But I'm also willing to give a PSA product a chance.

Send a 48 out for a real comp install. Top slide opening and ported barrel?

Glock all the way.
Between those two I would go with the 48.
If you wanted to venture out and look at other brands I would highly recommend the p365 or the Mossberg MC2C.
I have put several thousand rounds through both with not a single issue. The MC2C punches way above its price range.

As someone else just said, you’ll probably go with the Micro Dagger mags with either choice. So why not go with the Micro Dagger. However, the comp is not a selling point for me. Other than some additional weight in front. I suspect it compensates about as well as the old 1911 bushing comps. In the end I think I’d opt for the 48, or wait till a Micro Dagger X1 became available.

I would rather get the Microdagger as it'll run PSA mags anyways.
