 The Ruger Max 9 and the Masada Slim match up fairly well. Masada goes just a little bit longer. The grip goes a little bit longer as well. 9S carries 13 rounds. Max 9 carries 12 rounds. 5 pound Masada Slim, 5 ounces heavier. 3.4 inch barrel, nice forward serrations. The flat trigger breaks right around the same weight. Short of reset. 4.39 with the Max 9, 4.50 with the Masada Slim. Max 9 is a great gun. If I hadn't choose one, I'm going with the 9S.
