dont be a dumbass
huh. IWI makes fantastic firearms. and MSRP is $480. I wonder how it compares to the VP9.
I don't see how this gun is currently meaningfully better than a Glock 17 MOS. Maybe a little cheaper, I guess? It does use a chassis system, so maybe in the future IWI will release some modules for it for customization.

Looks like biggest advantage is fully ambidextrous operating controls: slide stop lever, magazine release.
A better comparison might be to a PPQ M2 with Ambi slide release and reversible mag release. I was at cabellas in El Paso last week drooling over a PPQ SC M2 LE kit with night sights 2 x 10 round mags + 1 x 15 round with grip extension for $499 Damn shame we cant get this here
I was curious if IWI would be offering with 10 round mags. below was pulled from IWI
"Restricted States:
Each MASADA comes with two standard capacity magazines or two 10 round magazines for consumers who reside in states with magazine capacity restrictions."
The Gen5 MOS has all of those, albeit the mag release is reversible not ambi. Sorta drives me crazy to see all these "serialized fire control" not have proper support with frames, slides, etc. at release... so much wasted potential. Feels like Sig is the only one who got this right, with the P320.

It is better than a glock because it is not a glock. simply put I am a glock hater. kidding aside I am a big fan of anything IWI makes. I am sure at some point IWI will make a compact frame so that you can take advantage of the modularity.
I have handled one but did not get to shoot it.
It appears to be a sig p320 clone instead of a Glock based on the photos in the recoil review. https://www.recoilweb.com/review-simply-israeli-the-iwi-masada-does-the-job-for-less-153238.html
Does anyone know if it uses a common magazine?

I asked my LGS about them and they said they were Maryland approved
