By FAR my favorite carry pistol. I too shoot it better than the 365/Shield/GX4. It’s amazing how many micro and compact carry pistols I’ve gone through, only to find the Masada Slim the one for me. I had to get a custom holster, as the holster options are slim (no pun intended). Thanks for the video sir.
I have the P365 & P365XL, as well as a bunch of other pistols. Both Sigs have Wilson Combat grip modules and Mag guts springs and followers. My P365 now has the P365XL's FCU and its' 3.7" barrel while my P365XL has the P365 FCU with the better (IMO) curved trigger with a 4.2" threaded True Precision SS barrel, Tactical Trigger mod, and a Holosun 507K Red Dot. I like them both the way they are modified and carry both IWB at 3:30 with my Clinger 2-clip holster with comfort pad. Really comfortable and shirt tucks in hiding the pistol completely with just a dress shirt all tucked in. I also have the PC Shield Plus with a 4" ported barrel and fiber optic sights (the best IMO), also with a Clinger Holster and pad. My problem is both Sigs and the Shield Plus are not that reliable. Both Sigs have each been sent back for repair 3 times (each) and my Shield Plus twice now. I've also shot to death a Ruger LC9sPro, a 1st Gen CZ P10C, and the Sig P365. I'm thinking about getting either a Glock 48 or a PSA Micro Dagger if they ever go on sale as most likely the Glocks or Glock clones can maybe get 10,000 rounds through them before they go down. I've tried to find videos on how durable all these pistols are, but nobody seems to shoot them enough to say. Seems Glocks are the only ones with excellent durability.
Great video! Recently picked up a Masada slim & I can confirm it does run my factory CZ p-01 mags & Mec-gar CZ 75 compact mags flawlessly. Side by side comparison it’s identical, Masada slim mag is shorter though but had no issues.
I'm breaking in two OWB thumb break holsters, (Craft Holster) one for my Beretta 92X RDO Compact and the other for my Sig P938 Legion, so I'm just carrying around the house and yard so far, next week that will change! 👍👍
For the Sig. Magguts has a kit that will give you 14 in the same length mag. Zev makes a mag button that hooks to the rear makes mag changes a little faster.
I see you're rocking a Amory Craft grip module on your XL. I have 3 P365XLs. One of them has a Spectre Comp slide and all 3 of them have Wilson Combat grips but 2 of them are laser stippled in OD green and tungsten gray by Armory Craft. Weight kits are inserted in the grips and they have extended mag buttons and Magguts. I'm running Holosuns on them. A 407K red, a 407K green and a EPS Carry green all are 6 moa dots. I like consistency in my carry guns. They carry small but shoot like bigger guns.
I had the sig 365 and the shield plus. After getting the Masada Slim i got rid of the sig and gave the shield to mom. Masada Slim just fits my hands better. Shoot it better
Hey spn does the memory pad, stippling add any real grip on the a/c grip mod? I’m debating doing some forward stippling to my xl Wilson combat grip mod.
I’m not even gonna watch this video but I can already predict half of what he says. Let’s see, sig ergos are off the iwi just feels better in the hand. He shoots the iwi way better than the sig. Israel knows how to make good guns. Sig is known for drop safe issues and rust. Sig bad. Iwi good.
I believe sig 365 was just approved for California- you may want to double check, if im right sig has posted bill boards in California letting people know! Congratulations from a former Californiun
For my first firearm I want a slim gun with good capacity that is concealable. What do you recommend? Looking at hellcat pro,IWI Masada S, shield plus etc.
Those 3 are good great you even brought those up for a first timer. No known issues I'm aware of. Honestly there aren't too many crappy guns out at the moment & if there is a quick RUclips search will tell you like a highpoint,sscy's, etc. Go to shooting ranges see what they got to rent & actually shoot some stuff would probably be a better option than blind buying cause someone told u too.
Fair enough! But in all reality, lights are rarely ever used in self defense for lack of time and if you need a light to indemnify the target you may be flagging others.
It was designed for deep concealment for people that have larger sized hands and The 365 doesn’t have a rail come standard either ,large hands are notoriously not favored for the 365.
You ever going to make a video on light rails (light or no light? Do they matter for ccw?)? or did you forget? Fyi, Could shut up the haters about the iwi not having one. :)
What's with people's fascination adding pinky extensions to magazines? You're suppose to hide the grip length. Wouldn't be better just going to a higher capacity pistoI? Like in this example. There's already barely any difference between the XL and Marcos grip length. Adding an pinky extension isn't practical. No hate just saying. Note: I do have a Marco. Imo, the grip length is a bit too much. It prints, but people have to look for it. Going to XL, while not a huge difference, I think it will decrease printing.
It’s about the feel of the handgun. The ergonomics. Also it adds to the looks. But in this case, its purely about making it feel 100% perfect in my hand.
Fair enough point, but sometimes the versatility is nice. I have a pocket pistol that feels and shoots OK with a flush mag. But a pinky extension makes it fit my hand like a glove, and is my PREFERRED way to shoot it. That being said, I have some magazines with pinky extensions and some without. When I wear pants with smaller pockets I definitely use the flush mags to reduce printing and make the draw smoother. When I wear pants that have roomier pockets, I run with a pinky extension because there's absolutely no reason not to. Having different size mags allows me to scale the pistol up and down as needed. If the pistol was built stock with a larger capacity grip, I would only be able to pocket carry it sometimes.
I count EIGHT plastic wonder nines on that table... all basically the same gun. You're entitled to own whatever you want, but does your breakfast table have eight sugar bowels? Are there EIGHT rolls of toilet paper on your bathroom wall? I ascribe to the philosophy of "two is one, and one is none", but eight is not great. It's just silly. Then I took a look at your list of other videos and aside from a single S&W J-frame revolver, all your guns are the same gun... all variations on a theme, and all in 9mm/380. Your breakfast table no doubt has dozens of sugar bowels, and your bathroom must have a similar number of toilet paper rolls on the wall. How many dozen hammers do you own? Most tool boxes are not filled with all the same tool.
Stop trying to make the Masada Slim happen. Its not going to happen.😮 oh i thought it was a single stack.... maybe it will happen. How's the trigger? Oh, maybe i should watch before opening my yap!

Masada S is the best among all micro 9s.
I love my masada s, one of my favorite guns
Yessir agreed 100%! Respect

I love the Slim. It is my home defense weapon with a Holosun 407k on it. Shoots dead accurate. CZ 75 mags fit perfectly. Never a malfunction.
muddy river tactical has remakes holsters for the masada slim .
The sigs lookin nice man,like the grips, excited to see it fully built out
Great video! Recently picked up a Masada slim & I can confirm it does run my factory CZ p-01 mags & Mec-gar CZ 75 compact mags flawlessly. Side by side comparison it’s identical, Masada slim mag is shorter though but had no issues.
Any idea if the Masada S. takes the Jericho 941 mags?
@@josephpaul4548 yes. I’ve tried cz 75 compact factory as well as mecgar mags also. They run flawless
Iwi came out with a version now that has night sights
I'm breaking in two OWB thumb break holsters, (Craft Holster) one for my Beretta 92X RDO Compact and the other for my Sig P938 Legion, so I'm just carrying around the house and yard so far, next week that will change! 👍👍
I wanted to get a holster from them for my Jericho steel crazy you said craft holsters 🔥 nice
For the Sig. Magguts has a kit that will give you 14 in the same length mag. Zev makes a mag button that hooks to the rear makes mag changes a little faster.
I bought this on your recommendation, the box included a holster (Orpaz msd9s) for concealed carry (in Israel). Recommend, thank you
What holster do you recommend for the Masada slim?

Massada 9 s is my new carry with an eps carry
Hey spn does the memory pad, stippling add any real grip on the a/c grip mod? I’m debating doing some forward stippling to my xl Wilson combat grip mod.
Nice review sir ill go with the masada 9s 😍😍😍
Alabama holster will mold kydex specifically for the gun version.
The Slim does take CZ75B magazines. I have some 19 rounders it rocks them all.
I carry the Masada Slim in a holster by rounded.
💯 Masada Slim🔥🔥
I also use gold dot Speer carry gun ammo
Wanted a Masada slimbut none to be found. Found a used Masada tactical- hoping the small back strap will help once it arrives.
I carry a sig p938 in a sticky holster at work and a glock 19 in a galco hybrid holster. Thanks

@@jmfarouche6688I went to go get the Max 9 and I shit you not very next day 365 was approved
The IWI is really a great pistol.
Compare the Smith/Shield plus...to the Masada Slim Plus...Thanks
Do you find the p365xl grip pinches your palm between the grip and magazine when you maintain grip with the right hand,while reloading with left hand?
I'd like a small heel bump.

Finished the P365 X build yet ?
For the algorythm.
I'm having an extremely hard time fighting off putting myself into some debt to NOT buy a Ruger SFAR right now.
Have they ironed out all the kinks yet? I know they were having a lot of problems
I just bought the MSlim I like it but the steepling on the Sig is bad
Wish the slim would get more modules
Yeeeeeee🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
IWI missed the mark with no light rail
Fair enough! But in all reality, lights are rarely ever used in self defense for lack of time and if you need a light to indemnify the target you may be flagging others.
@@spnfirearms fair enough but if you’re someone that can only afford one gun and you want to double as a home defense weapon it won’t work
It was designed for deep concealment for people that have larger sized hands and The 365 doesn’t have a rail come standard either ,large hands are notoriously not favored for the 365.
@@gutWrench9mmthe 365 has a rail, and larger grip modules. The IWI does not.
As a blind firearms owner, I find a light unnecessary.
Sig all day
Can you do another video with the Walther PPS please?
Yes I got you!
