 Hey there friends, thanks for checking in today. We're going to do a range comparison with the Ruger Max 9 and the Masada Slim or the Masada 9s They match up fairly well. They're both double-stacked 9 millimeter handguns of the Subcompact nature now the Masada 9s is a little bit larger with a 3.4 inch barrel The Max 9 has a 3.2 inch barrel, but if we align them, you will see that the Masada goes just a little bit longer and the magazine Or the grip goes a little bit longer as well the 9s carries 13 rounds The Max 9 carries 12 rounds. They also have a 10 round magazine So let's check out the Max 9 already mentioned 3.2 inch barrel It has serrated black rear sights a fiber optic tritium front sight That is a nice touch. They all come optic ready. This has a sightmark mini shot on there I've had it on there for a while 10 and 12 round magazines nice ergonomic feel the trigger measures right around five pounds It does have the trigger bar safety in there And it has performed well. I've had good luck with the Max 9 from the beginning It also has a integrated barrel bushing right there So it locks up nice and tight Disassemble now you have a gate you have to move Downward but a similar system with the 9s. Let me take a few shots with the Max 9 here And we'll check it out. All right, not bad the Masada 9s or Masada slim as I mentioned has Magza carry 13 rounds This is five ounces heavier 29 ounces Loaded with 14 rounds 3.4 inch barrel nice forward serrations deeper cut serrations than the Max 9. It has a flat trigger That breaks right around the same way with a shorter reset I Have a Holosun EPS carry on here, and I like the sights. Well that that fiber optic tritium sight The front of the max 9 front sight is a little nicer than the front dot, but the overall feel I like with the Masada slim The grip texturing is just a little bit nicer in my opinion But we're looking at 29 ounces loaded with 14 rounds to Max 9. We're looking at Well, it would be five ounces lighter. So 24 ounces loaded with 13 rounds. Let's take a few shot with the with the slim Now there is no doubt that I have a better optic with the Masada slim Holosun EPS carry enclosed pistol sight Overall the MSRP when turn and we're talking about price is not that different 439 with the max 9 450 with the Masada slim the size is Minimal both would make great carry guns both our optic ready the Max 9 has dropped in the store price anyhow I think a lot of people got a great deal on this just recently Just under three hundred dollars. This has a sight mark mini shot. This has a Holosun EPS Both shoot very nicely Masada just a little heavier just a little longer with the barrel Ruger max 9 a little bit lighter I like to trigger better with the slim and that makes a big difference It is a flat trigger that breaks right at five pounds. This is more of A rounded trigger. I think the max 9 is a great gun and It has been very reliable for me now I mentioned the disassemble the max 9 has a gate right there You have to push it down the Masada slim has a gate right there. You have to push it forward or backward forward and In each case a pin has to be removed. So They actually break down rather similar Overall shooting impressions. I'm going to give it to the Masada slim It it just feels more like a compact size handgun This would be considered a larger subcompact although IWI doesn't Consider it subcompact that I've seen they've taken many of the features here from the full-size Masada Put it on the Masada 9s and created a very nice Handgun grip texturing no great difference magazine. There is barrel length. There is optic ready with both both clearly and By shooting them side by side if I had to choose one I'm going with the 9s what I really want to know is which one would you choose if you like videos like this Please subscribe and share.
