Most SIG, H&K, Walther and S&W striker-fired pistol magazines have a $40 to $50 MSRP. One of the more contentious points for a pistol shooter is the cost of magazines. With an already excellent trigger, extended slide release and MOS-compatibility for the RMR right out of the box, the Masada buyer is getting a significantly upgraded gun right from the factory without the need for upgrades. Upgrades include an enhanced trigger, sculpted and contoured magazine releases less prone to self-release in the holster, oversized slide release, forward slide manipulation cuts, deeper trigger guard forward serrations and reflex optic-ready slide without disassembly or modification, all for an MSRP price about $200 less than competing MOS-ready pistols.
With the Masada, IWI paid a significant amount of attention to addressing the many complaints and typical upgrades customers have with striker-fired pistols. Left- and right-hand slide and magazine releases work with equal authority. Instead of an ambi-swappable magazine release configuration, the Masada is truly ambidextrous out of the box without the need for disassembly for a left-handed shooter. The Masada’s slide releases are also oversized for gloved hand manipulation similar to the Walther PPQ releases. The SIG and Glocks fall short with slide releases that can be difficult to find with gloves. But there the Masada has delivered more working room for gloved index fingers.
MASADA 9MM VS GLOCK 19 UPGRADE
Customers do not need to worry about a trigger upgrade, but there is more they can cross off the upgrade list.Ī common complaint on many striker-fired pistol models with gloved hands is the lack of room inside the trigger guard. The factory trigger is shockingly amazing for a striker-fired gun with a trigger feel that is on par with aftermarket striker-fired triggers and spring kits from companies such as Apex. The Masada features a 6-pound trigger break that notably is the best factory striker-fired trigger on the market and, for a striker-fired pistol, is very crisp. In addition to a design that combines all these more brand-unique features into a single pistol, the IWI Masada went further with the overall design. Glock owners love the no-nonsense design, inexpensive magazines, simple operation, integrated safeties and very high grip-to-bore axis for fast shot strings and yes, the Masada also delivers those features. Walther PPQ users like the grip customization, enlarged slide and mag releases, slide cuts, industry leading trigger feel and outstanding accuracy, which the Masada also delivers. The SIG 320 users love the interchangeability of the serialized trigger unit to allow for frame, slide and caliber swaps and a simple disassembly that requires no trigger pull, all of which the Masada has. Having reviewed all manner of industry polymer-framed guns, one might believe the Masada is the love child of the SIG 320, Walther PPQ and a Glock 17 featuring their best attributes. With so much of the Israeli and other global militaries preferring a striker-fired pistol, IWI created the Masada as an option to Glocks … and it has done a stunningly spectacular job for a very cost-effective $439 MSRP. Due to weight and manual-of-arms preferences, the Glock polymer-framed models have become extremely popular with Israeli military. It also is based on a more classic thumb safety design and operation many militaries and police are transitioning away from. However the all steel frame is also roughly a half pound heavier than most competing polymer framed pistols. The IWI Jericho is one of the most widely regarded and proven combat pistols in the military. The Israeli military has a long history of harsh testing of a variety of handguns on the battlefield, recently including the IWI Jericho pistol models and other pistols including Glock variants. release that its new striker fired Masada is not a “me too” pistol, but a design that is an evolution of all the best pistol features in one affordable design.
