I also fired a number of the Winchester 115-grain Silvertip and the Winchester 124-grain PDX +P with good results. Moving to 15 yards, it took a few rounds to get the pistol sighted in.įiring in a slower cadence, the pistol proved quite accurate and the results were good. The pistol is very fast and, with the red dot mounted, hits were rapid. I loaded the magazines with Winchester Ready and zeroed in on man-sized targets at seven yards. With the Burris Fast Fire 3 and TRUGLO combat light mounted, the Masada is ready for business. With the Burris Fast Fire 3 installed, the Masada remains a compact and fast-handling handgun. Remove the plate, mount the proper red dot plate to the sight, and tighten it down. Testing ItĪdding the Red Dot was simple enough and accomplished in a matter of minutes. When I took my time and did everything right, the pistol put five holes into less than three inches. The pistol was fired from a standing benchrest at a long 25 yards with Winchester’s accurate and reliable 147-grain PDX loading. We will have to see what type of service the Masada gives, but IWI is known for reliable tools. The sights are preferable to GLOCKs and so is the trigger action, and I like the takedown better. The inevitable comparison is to a GLOCK handgun. The Masada features a safety lever set in the trigger face. This handgun responds well to a trained shooter. Most of the work with the USA Ready loads was fast work on man-sized targets at seven, 10 and 15 yards. The pistol was accurate enough for personal defense well past 25 yards. The trigger is smooth with a positive reset. The Masada is a comfortable handgun to fire and use. The Burris Fast Fire offers a wide window.
With the magazines loaded, I faced the targets, drawing from an Uncle Mike’s belt slide. I began the evaluation with a good supply of Winchester 115-grain FMJ ammunition. I added the red dot toward the end of the test program. I used the Burris Fast Fire 3 during this evaluation, but relied primarily on the sights for initial combat firing. There is no consistency that makes mounting a red dot easier-all have different footprints and use a different mount. This is the slide with the cover removed. Another advantage is that the Masada is supplied with four polymer plates to accommodate a number of red dots.
#MASADA 9MM VS GLOCK 19 PLUS#
A big plus is that the pistol is optics-ready.Ī cover on the frame, between the rear sight and ejection port, is removed and replaced with the proper mount. That is good, as strong magazine springs ensure feed reliability. The last couple of cartridges are difficult to load. The pistol is chambered for the 9mm Luger. There are mental elements and there are mental operations. Do it the NRA way by checking the magazine well first and then the chamber. Let the first step be checking to be certain the handgun is not loaded. Be alert and mindful when fieldstripping any handgun.
#MASADA 9MM VS GLOCK 19 ZIP#
Note: Humans misplace their keys, stub their toes and forget to zip their trousers. The trigger must be pressed and the piece de-cocked to field strip the handgun. I find manipulating the lever handier than the GLOCK-type takedown. The trigger guard is large enough for gloved hand use and squared at the front. The frame features a rail for mounting a combat light. This makes racking the slide more difficult, but on the other hand, the pistol was comfortable to fire with +P and +P+ ammunition. They are needed, as the pistol features a heavy recoil spring. The slide features both forward and rear-cocking serrations. The pistol has a robust heavy-duty extractor. The hammer-forged barrel features polygonal rifling. IWI Masada Design The polymer-framed, striker-fired Masada is a first-class defensive handgun. There are three frame inserts to accommodate many hand sizes. The high-visibility sights are excellent designs. The frame and grip are designed to make for a lower bore axis than most striker-fired handguns.
Finger indents slightly shorten trigger reach. There is a slight curve in the backstrap. This grip frame offers good abrasion and adhesion. The sides of the handle are treated as well.
