IWI Masada

Iwi Masada Capacity

The Masada is chambered in 9.19mm Parabellum (9mm Luger, 9x19mm NATO) and comes with two double-stack, single-feed magazines with a standard capacity of 17 rounds.  This pistol is also available with 10 round magazines if you live in a state with capacity restrictions.

Iwi Masada Ergonomics

The Masada has fully-ambidextrous controls including a magazine release that can be engaged from either side without having to switch anything around.  The only external safety can be found in the trigger, and this was done as a design choice since the Israeli military carries their weapons in Condition-3 where the magazine is full and the chamber is empty (Also known as Israeli Carry).  The grip has a sandpaper-like texture, and has a replaceable back panel that allows you to change the grip circumference to fit the gun more properly to your hand.

Iwi Masada Fit-N-Finish

The Masada comes apart similar to other pistols that utilize a “grip module” design like the SIG P320.  The grip module is made of a high-strength fiberglass-reinforced polymer that makes it very durable against impressive degrees of abuse.  The slide and the other steel parts are black-phosphate coated in order to retain oil and reduce wear.
