 there friends thanks for checking in today we're looking at an IWI Masada Slim otherwise known as a Masada 9S subcompact well kind of it would be considered a larger subcompact handgun polymer frame striker fire 9 millimeter becomes so popular ORP optic ready pistol and I have a holosun EPS carry on there I want to talk about that but it is slim the grip is very thin I do like to grip I like to grip texturing three finger contact when when grip in the pistol it's not overly textured or extremely aggressive not at all if you carry this it shouldn't irritate the skin when carrying but the grip is thin we'll do a quick comparison here or shall I say slim not thin slim hence the name but you can see the hellcat on the right a little bit wider with the grip let's check out the p365 we'll put that on the left and we'll see that the grip is a little bit wider as well so I'm thinking that's where they came up with the name slim it comes with two 13 round magazines 10 round mags are available for those in states that require that the less free states I should say if you go with this here's the case you're getting two 13 round magazines a hex wrench for the optic plate and there's the optic plate I always put some tape over so I don't lose the screws lock paperwork box everything else but I have taken it to the range on a couple occasions already I I have to say I now know why this was highly requested it it shot very well and what I've been running are store-bought reloads and I haven't had one issue with it had to put 450 500 somewhere in there rounds through it and and I just kept eating it up and forgot to hit that record button a few times because this is a lot of fun forward serrations I'm one of those guys that do press checks some people don't think it's necessary the magazine release is triangular you could switch it out to the other side making it left-handed friendly I like the forward serrations the sights are a little bit taller and I think that's to help co- witness with the dot you see the rear sights serrated black with a couple indentations in on there see that same as the full-size Masada and a front dot and I dig the trigger way you see this reset five and a half pound trigger pull does have a safety in the middle of the trigger but the reset is very short for a larger subcompact gun that is one short reset five and a half pound trigger pull squared off trigger guard plenty of room if you have a glove these serrated like lines I guess they're really not serrations because they are on the frame it looks like you could put a a light or a laser on there you just can't do it there's not enough room the optic that I have here is a Hollison EPS carry EPS stands for enclosed pistol sight you can see that it's solar powered has a battery compartment right there and what makes it an enclosed pistol sight is that the light emitter that we typically see right in there with this the Hollison 407C okay that's enclosed so no dust dirt grime anything could get in there to obstruct the dot now it's a multi reticle system so it has a regular green dot a circle or a circle dot two MOA dot I went with the dot just the dot but if I wanted the circle dot I could easily do that with these settings 12 brightness settings it's shake awake and the footprint is the same as an rmsc okay or the Hollison k series very nice combination I keep wanting wanting to call it a red dot it's not a red dot it's a green dot and I have really come to love green dots so easy it's a direct mount on the Masada slim another thing that sets this apart is that the serialized chassis is on the trigger group okay so what you'd have to do is punch out that roll pin punch out that roll pin and then you could easily take that off to disassemble the Masada slim it takes an additional step the first thing you're going to do as always we check clear we're going to lock the slide back this lever right here needs to be pushed forward so you get that out of the way you drop the slide and then you move it back a little bit because it has a cut out there to pull out the pin and just reach in there and pull it out right there you can't lose it you don't need to pull the trigger slide comes right off from the frame you'll see that we have a dual recoil spring and a 3.4 inch barrel cleanly machined slide and then it goes back in in opposite order same steps opposite order and is that low enough I believe so long frame rails check that out very long so at this point we're going to put that pin back where do I get this thing on the scale I think you'll like what you see with a it's got to be pretty perfect in there and it is locked the slide back if if you're here but that lever is pushed forward the magazine will not insert once that caught me off guard so you have to lock the slide back push that lever down where it belongs and then the magazine will insert but we'll go ahead and get on the scale dial down this light here and the unloaded weight get ready would you one pound seven and a quarter ounces 23 and a quarter ounces here are 13 rounds nine millimeter they were looking at 28 and three quarters ounces 29 and an eight ounce with 14 rounds so many people have told me you have to check out the Masada Slim and now I can undoubtedly say I own it I checked it out and it performs exactly like everybody told me it would very reliable I have been using store-bought reloads that perform way better than freedom munitions I will tell you that and with those I had no issues none with the Masada Slim or Masada 9S ORP optic ready pistol very happy with it I think the combination is great this Hollison EPS carry is a phenomenal optic green dot multi radical shake awake all that and then the Masada Slim a larger subcompact 13 round mags long frame rails disassemble yeah not too bad once you get it down you'll see but it's a lighter weight nine millimeter handgun that I'm sure a lot of people are carrying to this very day if you like videos like this please subscribe and share I always appreciate thumbs up button thanks for watching and you guys be safe
