Iwi Us Masada M9Orp17Fdns Masad 9Mm 17R Or Ns 4.1 Fde

The IWI US Masada 9mm is a modern striker-fired pistol built for shooters who want genuine versatility without compromising on handling. Developed from IWI's military heritage, the Masada M9 ORP 17-round model brings a fully ambidextrous, optics-ready platform to hunters, sport shooters, and defensive-minded gun owners. Its low barrel axis design—rare in this category—noticeably reduces felt recoil and helps you stay on target faster, shot after shot.

The ergonomics here matter. Three interchangeable wraparound backstraps let you dial in the grip to your hand size, while the deep beavertail and enhanced grip texture work together to keep the gun stable during rapid fire. The large trigger guard is welcoming whether you're shooting bare-handed or gloved up. All the controls—slide stop, magazine release, safety levers—work from both sides, making the Masada equally at home in right or left-handed hands. You get the advantage of a striker-fired action (simple, reliable, consistent) paired with a 6-pound trigger that breaks clean and crisp, with a positive reset and integrated trigger safety.

For optics, the Masada ships as an optics-ready platform with four adapter plates to mount Trijicon RMR, Vortex Venom, Leupold Delta Point Pro, or Sig Romeo1 red dots directly to the slide—no gunsmith needed. Right out of the box, you'll have Mepro Hyper Bright 3-dot night sights (orange ring design) and a picatinny rail for lights, lasers, or other accessories. The frame is forged from high-strength, impact-resistant fiberglass-reinforced polymer; the barrel is stainless steel, 4.1 inches of tested durability built to handle hard use in any weather.

IWI built the Masada to endure—it's lightweight (1.43 lbs), compact enough for serious carry or sport use (7.4 inches overall), and fed by reliable IWI steel magazines holding 17 rounds of 9mm. Whether you're setting up a duty rig, a hunting sidearm, or a range gun, the Masada brings professional-grade engineering to an accessible price point.
