The IWI Masada, a polymer-framed striker-fired pistol, stands as an exemplar of modern firearms engineering. Designed with the demands of today's battlefield in mind, this pistol offers far more than the typical striker-fired sidearm.
At its core, the Masada features a low-profile barrel engineered to reduce perceived recoil significantly. This ensures quick follow-up shots and enhanced control during rapid fire scenarios. The frame is constructed from high-strength, impact-resistant fiberglass-reinforced polymers — a testament to its durability under severe conditions.
A hallmark of the Masada is its fully ambidextrous controls coupled with superior ergonomics that provide an instinctive grip angle for natural pointing. Whether you're left-handed or right-handed, you'll find operating this pistol seamless and intuitive.
For those who demand adaptability in their firearm's fit, the Masada includes three interchangeable wrap-around back-straps alongside a deep beavertail design. These elements allow users across a spectrum of hand sizes to achieve their ideal grip comfort and stability.
The trigger system on this piece deserves particular attention: it boasts a clean 6-pound pull with both crisp break and positive reset characteristics — crucial for precision shooting. Additionally, built-in trigger safety ensures that discharge only occurs when intended; it will not fire unless you pull the trigger deliberately.
This variant comes optics-ready out-of-the-box, accommodating popular sights such as Trijicon RMRs, Vortex Venoms, Leupold Delta Point Pros, and Sig Romeo1s through included adapter plates and screws directly mountable onto its slide.
Furthermore equipped with threaded barrels for suppressor compatibility and two magazines each holding 17 rounds (17+1 capacity), the IWI Masada provides versatility whether your needs are tactical or recreational in nature.
