I was reading about this pistol in the latest issue of Shooting Illustrated. I had never heard of them before. Israel is a country that gets my utmost respect (for religious reasons more so than their good products produced), and I have been very pleased with the Uplula magazine loader that country produces. But I know nothing about Masada. I'm not currently in the market for a new gun, but I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this pistol, and what your opinions are if so.

It is probably a little bigger than I would use for CC, but it might make a great HD weapon. I'm very happy with my M2.0 Compact for all self defense right now. But I never know what I might consider at some point down the road.

If you haven't heard of them, here is the web site for this model... https://iwi.us/product/m9orp17/.

IWI is a very experienced and respected small arms manufacturer. They used to belong to the Israeli government, but are now a private company. They came up with the Uzi, the Tavor, the Galil and the Jericho pistol, all solid models. They don't mess around over there. Their stuff gets used.

Fallsrider, I recently purchased an IWI Tavor TS12. I have been very impressed with it to date, including quality, design, and innovation. I've also spoken with their customer service folks with questions and they are very responsive.

Never heard of this maker, but the Magnum Research Desert Eagle and 1911's are made in Israel and they all get rave reviews. I have a couple of Israeli-made FAB Defense AK pistol grips and they're awesome.

Anecdotal, I know, but I wouldn't hesitate to buy an Israeli product.
