Our Assessment: The IWI MASADA 9mm polymer-framed striker-fired pistol was developed in order to provide an advanced solution to modern battlefield requirements. Much more than just another striker-fired pistol, the MASADA features a low-profile barrel for reduced perceived recoil. Fully ambidextrous controls and enhanced ergonomics which provide a natural and instinctive pointing grip angle. Three interchangeable wrap-around back-straps coupled with the deep beavertail enable the MASADA pistol to fit a wide variety of hand sizes. The frame is made of high-strength, impact-resistant fiberglass-reinforced polymers. Like all IWI firearms, it is built to withstand and endure all types of military use and abuse in extremely harsh environmental conditions. The MASADA utilizes a modular serialized high-grade steel trigger mechanism housing that can be easily removed, allowing simple and easy disassembly and maintenance. The trigger is designed to enhance the shooter’s accuracy and safety. The MASADA trigger has a 6 lb trigger pull with a clean and crisp break and a positive reset. Featuring a built-in trigger safety, the pistol will not fire unless the trigger is pulled. Even better, this is an optics-ready platform and is designed to be used with the Trijicon RMR, Vortex Venom, Leupold Delta Point Pro, and Sig Romeo1 optics. Respective adapter plates and screws for each of these optics allow the optic to mount directly to Masada’s slide. This is one sweet pistol and something we don’t see many of, it has hardly any wear and looks like it saw little use. Please see our photos and good luck in your bidding!
