The IWI US Masada Slim Elite Pistol is the culmination of IWI's relentless pursuit of optimization based upon real world use and customer feedback. As a compact, polymer, striker-fired pistol, the Slim Elite brings a host of new features designed to improve upon the original without sacrificing part compatibility, all the while retaining the thin profile and compact design of the original Masada Slim.
Improvements found in the Masada Slim Elite include an updated barrel with a longer feed ramp to maximize feeding reliability across ammo types and a new trigger safety fin to improve the feel and disengagement function for a wider array of hand sizes. Most noticeably it sports an all-new grip module featuring a more aggressive texture, interchangeable small, medium, & large backstraps, a picatinny-style accessory rail, a raised trigger guard undercut, and a flared magazine well for faster reloads without sacrificing the ability to strip a stuck mag.
This pistol shares the same modular, serialized, high-grade steel trigger mechanism housing as the original Masada Slim which can easily be removed for cleaning and maintenance. Currently offered in 9mm caliber, the Masada Slim Elite comes with one 13rd and one 17rd magazine. It weighs 20.3oz without the magazine and 23oz with the 13rd magazine inserted. The barrel length is 3.4 inches.
The Masada Slim Elite comes with a white front dot sight and a blacked-out rear sight. Sight cuts are the same on the Masada Slim as on the full-size Masada. The slide utilizes the RMSc Shield optics cut for direct optic mounting options. This footprint will also allow the user to run the Holosun EPS Carry, 507K `X2, Sig Romeo Zero, etc. The picatinny-style accessory rail is compatible with the with the Streamlight TLR-7/8 Sub (1913a).
The Masada Slim Elite has a flat trigger with a built-in trigger safety which prevents the pistol from firing unless the trigger is pulled. It features a clean and crisp break and a positive reset, enhancing tactile control.
The Masada Slim Elite stays true to the long history of IWI Firearms, built to withstand the elements, time, and performing when it matters the most.
NOTE: Factory frames will all be black, frames can be cerakoted and may be available in colors from Mischief Machine.
