IWI Masada Slim

- Опубликовано: 16 ноя 2023
- Hello and welcome. I've been a long-time fan of @IWIUS products. So, I became a big fan of the original Masada (full-size) when it was introduced.
Fast forward to 2022, IWI introduces the @IWIUS Masada Slim. I've been looking for a Masada Slim locally since it came to market. No luck. I even spoke to the sales rep at the NRA Show about sending a sample to Range USA and still no luck. I was starting to loose interest on this gun until my friend Karl purchased one and let it to the channel for this video. Thank you Karl. As of today (late November 2023), I have yet to see one locally.
What are your thoughts on the Masada in general and specifically on the Masada Slim. As always, I look forward to your comments.
Thank you for stopping by and God Bless.

I wanted to give some feedback on the Masada 9S. I had waited a couple of months for any of the gun shops in my area to get one for me, but it was worth the wait. This has been my carry gun for three months. The slide cuts for the sights are the same as the Sig so any sight that fits a Sig will fit the Masada full size and slim. Every major sight manufacturer makes sights for Sig pistols, so it was easy to upgrade to tritium night sights. The Masada slim is compatible with most CZ 75 magazines, so magazines from the full size Masada and the Jericho 941 will work giving you options for 17 and 16 round mags. The 21 round mags from the CZ Shadow 2 and 15 round mags from the CZ 75 compact work as well. This gun is $200 less the base P365 and HellCat PRO . It would be nice to have a rail to mount a light, but I carry a separate light so i can illuminate objects without pointing a gun at them. The thought of going into a room and pointing my gun at my wife, kids or dogs just to see if they are intruders is a risk I don't want to take.
The Masada 9 slim is a robust and reliable gun and you win't be disappointed if you chose to buy one.
Thank you very much for your comment and all the information that you shared with us. I agree with everything you said. Thank you very much for stopping by.
I bought the Masada Slim and have been loving it.
I've been carrying my Masada Slim for 1 year now and it's been amazing. It has less recoil than my P365X, Hellcat, and Shield Plus. It has a better trigger than any of them and has 2,275 rounds thru it from 18 different brands and types of ammo with zero malfunctions.
That’s awesome! Thank you very much for watching.
@whatsup24_7 whats your holster? That is the only thing holding me back... a good iwb appendix hoslter...
@@Scott-zc3iy Muddy River Tactical.. They make excellent holsters, I've been using them for years. Great quality and fit and they have very fast shipping. I have between 10-12 holsters from them and I've never been disappointed in any way.
Very good and fair review of this pistol. I recently purchased the Masada Slim after testing other micro-nines. As you stated, the trigger breaks very cleanly and its pull weight is appropriate for carry. The sights are certainly adequate for its intended use. The grip length allows me to get a good purchase on the firearm for better control and recoil management. Yes, the grip is slick so I put two layers of Talon grips on it (I wear Large gloves) and it's much, much better during firing. The pistol has been flawless through 250 rounds. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase. Thanks again for the fine review.
You are very welcome. I appreciate you stopping by and your kind words.
Thanks for another great review! It truly is a contender in a crowded field. I concur with your findings, but I'm sure there will be plenty of people who find this pistol as ideal for their needs, too. It's always nice to have options. 👍👍
I completely agree. Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to stop by.
For the price of the gun and with the optic cut for a 🔴 I think it’s a good deal honestly, I have never shot anything made by IWI before but I have heard good things about them,It’s a win in my opinion,And I might try to see if I can find one somewhere with night sights,Thanks for the video and keep up the great work 👍
It is a very good deal for the money. I think I mentioned it in the video, but I absolutely love the full size. Thank you very much for stopping by.
I wish i can have this awesome gun! Great video btw!
You’re very welcome. I appreciate you taking the time to stop by.
I love your reviews.Your voice Always sounds cool calm and collective keep up the good work God bless you 🙏
My masda is great, I like the Smith/Wesson shield plus, is great, I purchased a Taurus g3x,it is a lot of pistol for the buck, My ruger max 9 is very good also. Thanks
Shot it and for me, in stock config, it was amazingly accurate. Loved the grip, the sights and the trigger. Having said that, your Apex trigger + comp makes your G48 a real wonder gun, so comparing the two on the range is a bit unfair. Of course you would be underwhelmed.
Yes indeed … Excellent choice - based on the design, features and build quality, the IWI Masada Slim is EASILY one of the very BEST compact pistols on today’s market !!! 😉👍🏻👍🏻
Been carrying mine for almost a year shot 5-600 rounds at that range without any issues. I’ll actually be there Friday with it.
Very nice! Thank you so much for stopping by.
Very interesting that I have heard two consistent opinions about the Masada S recoil. Snappy and soft. Opposite end of the spectrum through all the reviews I have watched.
I liked the Masada Slim so much i bought a second one. Put red dot on one . Great guns to me. It shot so well for me it replaced the Sig p365 and shield plus. Good review.
They are pretty nice. Unfortunately, since they came out, I have yet to see one locally. The one you saw in the video was sourced via the Internet. Thank you so much for stopping by.
I just got a Massada slim. Honestly I carry this more then 43x.
Looks like a good middle ground between the G43X/48 and a G19. Would I buy one? Maybe. Personally, I prefer my P229 over any of them [as a primary EDC]. I would be curious about a trigger comparison between it and the Masada's main competitors.
The Slim also functions with CZ75 mags. I have a couple 18rd for mine.
That is correct. Awesome feature. Thanks for stopping by.
I hope to give you feedback .
I look forward to it!
You did not mention live cartridge in the chamber indicator on the right side which slightly protrudes when loaded. Big plus in the dark. I love this gun. Have this and the XDM Elite 3.8 9 mm.
You are correct. I forgot to mention that. Thanks for stopping by.
I have been interested in Massads slim for quite some time and under same circumstances, can't find one. It takes 17 and 19 round CZ75 mags, same as the Jericho, I am a fan. It may be a snappy and on the small side for me, I don't know. I am limited to watching different reviews on it. No matter what I try i seem to go back to the CZ p07.
I love the P07!
I just found one at Dissident Arms online. I was directed to them by a rep at IWI.
only small drawback is the handle is long compared to other subcompact brands so its harder to avoid printing, but its a great shooting gun
Just not looking for anything in that size. Lots of clones around. With a lot of the smaller offerings it is more about the hand size and grip shape if one can deal with their grip on the smaller area to place them. I liked the H11 or hellcat but that's a hand thing. On smaller and slimmer frames, give pressing one thumb with the other inward a try and on some the trigger guard can be an option when the reach changed or the thumb would stick out otherwise. But those aren't small enough for that. I think there are enough options out there to try more until you don't have to learn to like something.
You’re absolutely right. It is such a personal thing. Thank you very much for stopping by.
Hi there. Was wondering if you can get higher capacity mags for this gun? Such as a 15 or 16 round mag.
Yes. You can use the Shadow 2 mags. Thank you for watching!
IWI Jericho mags fit it as well
All CZ75 mags fit these.
How would you compare the Masada Slim to the APX Centurion? The reason asking is I was considering this but could never find one either. Also, check out Handleit Grips. The Edge Series.. You're welcome. 😎
Thank you for the tip. I’ve never tried Handleit grips. Always Talon Grips. Regarding the Masada versus the APX, I would choose the APX. Personal preference. Thank you very much for stopping by.
MD Polo..I’d to see a review on the Shadow Systems Cr920p
Hello. I’d like to do a review on that gun but I haven’t been able to find one locally. Thank you for stopping by.
How does this compare, to the Smith Wesson shield plus??HOW ABOUT THE RUGER MAX 9.THANKS
I do not own the two handguns that you want me to compare the Masada to.
How many yards out
Clean your ears
7-10. I don’t remember.
No rail limits the role of this pistol. Why would they not mold the frame with an accessory rail? It's a fail for me on this alone .
Agreed.. specially having an optic cut it should've came with a rail!
Because it's a concealed carry gun so a weapon light is not needed. It's not a police duty pistol.
@@whatsup24_7I see so why would it being a conceal carry gun preclude including a rail? It doesn't on many other even smaller micro 9's that are even more concelable.
@@conlaiarla Because some company's like Sig puts a rail on their micro compact means most of the time that they want you to buy a sig light to mount on it. Concealed carry guns don't need lights because you're not a cop on duty which they do need a weapon light. They pursue criminals at night in dark abandoned buildings with no windows and are lawfully allowed to be pointing their pistol with the light on. Citizens cannot pull out their pistol and shine a light to determine if someone is threatening their life they have to know 100% their life is in danger. If you just pull your gun and the person isn't armed with a lethal weapon you will be charged with aggravated assault which is a felony. I take walks at night a lot and I've been to some very dark areas and still have enough ambient light to see if my life is being threatened which means I have enough ambient light to put accurate shots on target.
@@whatsup24_7Thanks for your reply and your thoughts on the subject at hand from your perspective. However, it would in no way impede the firearm in any way to include the option of a rail. Failure to do so results in this firearm which could easily fulfill the role of CC and home defence from fulfilling this second role . It could have a rail and you would not have to utilise it. Not having one reduces options. In the market of today where there are so many firearms with the ability to mount a light or laser this was in my opinion a mistake on the manufacturers part . I respect that you differ that's what the comment section is about.
400 dollars for a new Masada 9S?
Yes sir.
No light laser rail its 2023 get it done Masada
looks almost like that peace of junk hellcat hope it performs better.
As I'm watching this video, I'm looking at the price of this firearm online as of today. it's $550.. that's Glock 43x mos & Shield Plus price.. No rail no night sites, no track record and no 3rd party support.. I would pay $300 for it. But that's it
Nice thing about Masada 9S is that you can use magazines from your CZ Shadow 2. So, if you run some competitive shootings with a Shadow, that's a plus. Canik Mete MC9 also has this thing with its other Mete brothers including a Rival. Thumbs up for this.
Good point! Thank you for watching.
