Hi Hickok45, I recently bought the IWI Masada and shot 100 rounds and it does not shoot low. I read the manual and spoke with IWI and they confirmed the Masada uses SIG sights front 8 and rear 8. Per the manual gun is zeroed for 25 meters and the sights are combat style with 3 dots, where the point of impact occurs when you align all 3 dots ( not the top of the front sight). You can swap out the front sight for a SIG 6 if you prefer to change the point of impact to the top front. Great pistol especially if you are a "south paw" like myself. I enjoy all your videos!
I’ll be honest I thought you’re supposed to shoot all guns by aligning the 3 dots… have I been shooting my Glock wrong this whole time?
@@jordanmorales8610 LMFAO loved this
Agreed 1000+ through ny Masada never low for me! Great firearm great review!
@@jordanmorales8610 yes, lol. you should be aligning the top of the sights, not the dots
i hate that line up the f%^kin dots bs, make the f%%king thing right period.
When it comes to weapons being surrounded by enemies that want to exterminate you is an incentive to build good efficient weapons.
Too true, the Israeli's cannot afford to make junk.
Huh? The cockroaches take over your home, and now the roaches are surrounded by enemies.
@@xxdizannyxx your mom is a cokroach and you dad is the local Dung beetle
and that explains your stupidity and reactions 🤷♂
You should comment this on photos of now-homeless Palestinians looking into their homes that have been appropriated by elderly new york jews that had never set foot in "Israel" before.
@cotykilgannon1468 Let's see the Chinese come and invade the USA and take his home, and when he goes to fight them off, he's labeled a terrorist.
hickok's accuracy with firearms never ceases to amaze me
Now I want IWI to make a pickup truck...
A "fully loaded" one right? ;)
Im buying gear 🤣
Lol they made their own Jeep 😗
IWI Makes vehicles under IMI
This is the one to get!! At around $450 it's the steal of the year. My Glocks are becoming safe queens because of the Masada. Love this gun and it's ease of mounting an MOS reflex sight. IWI did it right. Extremely well-designed. Shoots like a dream with a far better trigger than a Glock.
Heck a gen 2 g17 was the 1st gun i bought a couple years ago and im about to trade it in on one.
“The trigger works for either hand.” LOL. Love it!
Been watching Hickok since I was 10 I am 21 now and these videos are still entertaining
Naw, it just shows that you had poor taste at age 10 and you still have poor taste as an adult! :-)
Thanks for watching all those years and letting us ruin your brain.
hickok45 💀💀 you are hilarious
👍🏻🤣🤣🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
hickok45 = National Treasure.
@Blazin609 ,perks of being a Patreon supporter. :)
True
He needs an national monument tattoo
I love this old man.
He could also be the national defense lol
All joking aside though, this is one of the best feeling pistols I've ever owned. Sits super comfortable in the hand and shoots like a dream. Would highly recommend, especially to left handed shooters like myself.
Well that's music to my ears
"It's a striker-fired pistol and it has a polymer grip. How cool is that?" Ahahahahaha
@proteusx why you so offended? Geez, calm down snowflake
whatever
@@Onus6688 you're fine asf
Awesome. Some experts are saying this is the best all around, high-quality, new firearms on the market - all the features, reliable, durable, easy to assemble and clean, and better than some much more expensive guns.
Picked one up yesterday, absolutley love it so far
Picked up a Masada a couple months ago for my first firearm and I’m loving it
Given their history since 1948, when the Israelis come out with something "others have already done," it pays to examine that product (especially weapons-- i.e. the M60 tank ➡ Sabra tank) to see what *significant improvements* they've made to it... just say'in.
*Thanks for doing so Hickok!*
The IWI Jericho "Enhanced" and the Masada are sighted for 25 meters. That's why many perceive that they shoot low.
"Ambidextrous trigger, ambidextrous sights..." loll
I literally LOL'd
Jajñajña
Actually, IWI also has the Jericho 941 in Polymer although it was originally only in steel (think of the Baby Eagle). I have the polymer Jericho and it's a fantastic firearm.
Agree...great trigger and really accurate. Saw a video where it beat a Sig P226 legion in a torture test.
He did review Jericho as well in past. I've got IWI Jericho, Canik TP9SF, Glock G45, Beretta PX4 Storm and I also have this IWI Masada coming in soon and all of them are in 9mm. Not sure how this Masada will turn up since I don't have it in hand yet. Nonetheless, out of all my 9mm handguns that I currently have in possession I pick my Canik TP9SF as my most favorite and enjoyable to shoot gun. He mentions Masada being cheap while it's still around $400 territory, which I partially agree that it's not a super expensive gun. However, I bought my Canik for $260 meanwhile it's my cheapest handgun I ever purchased and it's by far my most favorite gun. I think people overhype sometimes some firearms. While IWI products have always been very reliable and pleasant to use, I still think there are sometimes better options for possibly even cheaper price.
@@SOBIsHobbies He reviewed the Baby Desert Eagle but the Jericho 941 in Polymer has many differences, especially in the grip. In comparisons, the steel version has slightly less recoil due to its weight but the polymer version has a more comfortable and smaller grip. Of course, which is better is up to the individual but the polymer version is $100 cheaper. Still, it doesn't beat the price of your Canik. Glocks are great guns and I carry a Glock 19, accessories are almost limitless.
@@astrofrk the Jericho that I got is full steel body. And you're right recoil on that thing is almost unnoticeable. Never shot from the polymer one though. Glocks are definitely nice handguns. Like I mentioned earlier I do have one myself G45 gen5. Nonetheless, I never can justify the prices of Glock pistols. Don't get me wrong, they're very nice pistols, but wayyy overpriced, overrated and overhyped handguns in my personal opinion. I paid $400 for Masada brand new, TP9SF cost me $260, Baby Eagle cost around $500, PX4 Storm was around $420, M&P Shield was $380 and they're all great guns that can easily compete and even beat Glock guns in most scenarios. By far my Glock is the most expensive handgun that I purchased. And I purchased it just to see what is it like having a Glock pistol and what's all that commotion about Glocks. I love my Glock and it's one of my first handguns, but if I were to redo it again I probably wouldn't get it or at least pay what I paid for it. Perhaps, I never can understand what's all the fuss about Glocks.
I have the iron baby 9mm y es un gran pistol!!!!!!💪🏾
Love the Masada, love Iwi, love Israel and America 🇮🇱 ❤️ 🇺🇸
Absolutely love my IMI an IWI firearms !!!!!!!!! They are well built an reliable firearms !!!!!!!!! Thanks for showing the IWI Masada handgun , Hickok45. Also have a Happy Merry Christmas , Sir !!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. !!!!!!!!!!!!!. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Tavor is good but this thing shoots low. Not too innovative if you ask me
Is a Masada a good first pistol? I only have a Charter .38 revolver.
It doesn’t shoot low the sights are combat sights and how the Israelis train for two eye shooting and sight on target shooting. If it bothers you that much, you can switch it out for Sig #8 sight and it’s more traditional. Glock 19X are sighted the same way.
Who else doesn’t care about the gun and is just excited to see another Hickok video?
watching old men smoke pot is my new fav
I thought to myself " Times must be tough, Hickok's doing videos on Indian food now! Must be his secret to weight loss! Great to see you sir, looking super. Happy Christmas to you and yours. Eddie
It looks like a beautiful day there in the compound!
So.... if he was demonstrating needle point techniques, you would still tune in?
edwoll77 I would watch my grandpa do anything
Masada, is a ancient fort on top of a mountain in the middle of nowhere in israel, and its one of the most beautiful places that ive been to
I got one a month ago. 600 rounds through it and not a single hiccup.. love it. 👌
Have had my Masada 3 years now. Liked it so much I bought a second one. After shooting it for a while I came to prefer way of sighting. Cover where you want the bullet to impact . Very well made handgun and accurate. Just waiting to get my hands on the Masada Slim.
You will love the Slim ! Had mine for awhile and just changed out the original sights for MeproLight sights which sit lower on the frame and really zeroes in the groups. MeproLight is also a product of Israel.
I love my Masada. I spent under $40 and installed a front sight to add fiberoptic and fix the point of impact. This totally fixed the issue:
Dawson Precision Sig P320 Fiber Optic Front Sights
(Sight Height and Width: .195" Tall x .100 Wide Patridge Serrated)
Saw two today July 2021 549 if it was 449 I would own it, never heard of them before but it felt good
Usually I watch your video's BEFORE I buy a new gun but bought one before you made this video great little gun I'm 1000% happy! Thank you for doing another great video!
I want to take the "Shoot like Hickok45" handgun class. I'm in Kentucky and waiting patiently.

I recently won one in a raffle. Not on my radar prior to that. Every review I've read or viewed is pretty high on it. I picked it up Saturday and brought it home and stripped and cleaned it. So far I am very impressed. Fit and finish, ergonomics and controls, all impressive. This does not feel like a $489 pistol. I can't wait to shoot it.
"Like that two liter!" Should be a catch phrase 🤣🤣🤣

I want to time it so that I'm firing my sixth round from my Model 29 just as I take my last breath, or the last round from one of my Colt Single Action Army revolvers, even if somebody has to cock it for me. :-)
Took one for a spin at the range today. This was before I watched this video. It was very comfortable and accurate. No issues with misfiring.
This man is awesome. He is responsible for my growing collection of firearm beauties..... At least, that’s what I tell my wife😂. ITS HIS FAULT!

God bless Merry Christmas Hickok.
I just picked one up at my local gun store in Orlando, 399 baby! With 2 extra mags, optic ready, and extra sizes of grips which I needed, fits perfect in my hand.
Hickok is the coolest guy on TH-cam :)
Masada ? Oh yea ! Love my Galil too ! Never jams !
@hickock45 This is what I refer to as a European sight picture. A lot of European guns (particularly from eastern Europe) have sights where you have to cover the target with the front sight and look down the groove, whereas with a Western sight picture you're supposed to align the sight with the groove and sight from the top. It's not wrong, it's just different. Once you adapt to it, it's fine. I have seen this with the Tokarev, Makarov, P-64, and a number of others. Many such European guns will seem to shoot low by our standards until you realize you have to treat the sights on them differently.
This must be why my IWI Jericho full size steel seems off. Not off, but has the same sights.
I own this gun and Israelis have sighted at 25 meters with 124 grain bullet. Use combat where you put front sight on the target. If shoot it with same way as a Glock hit low. Can mount sig sights on it. I mounted a Vortex Venom red dot last year and last week installed tactical sights that coexist with the red dot.
I love the fact they are making it in black. Awesome
Striker, polymer AND black? Weird.
Hahahahha. Right, about time!
I guess I can't watch your videos anymore. My wife said it cost too much money. Can you believe that?! I have only bought 10 guns in 2 years of watch your videos. I watch your videos everyday. Thank you Mr. hickok and John for being an inspiration for me!
Cait wait for the compact to come out next year IWI told me while I was at an expo
The Masada is made with combat sights and is sighted for 25 m. To make the sights more like others just replace the front with a Sig #6
I saw your comment, and I'm having difficulty with my masada, my shots are all low, just change the front sights? where can i find a model that fits it?
@@ferzikAny sig p 320 sight has worked for me. I replaced mine with #6 front and #8 rear
Every IWI I've owned or shot, I've loved.
Almost no recoil, I want one. I actually checked one out 3 years ago & the trigger is really smooth. Now it comes with a threaded barrel definitely getting one for the collection.
Ive been looking at them at my local gun store and I have one permit left before applying for more. It's either gonna be this thing or an xd mod 2 osp
With all the drama in the news aside, I hope you're having a peaceful holiday Hickok45. Same wishes for all your viewers.
F the news they should just rename it the gun-grabber network. phunny how mass shootings are becoming a regular thing nowadays Huh? could there be an agenda? i don't know what do you think?
Merry Christmas.
@@John5.56 back at ya
Many don't realize that IWI makes their weapons for the Israeli Defense Forces, police, border and security forces. These weapons have to be rugged and accurate. Israel is surrounded by enemies who want to wipe them out of existence. I have NEVER had a bad IWI weapon. They have all been well made, great finishes, and have been extremely reliable. Yes, there are plenty of polymer pistols out there, but IWI makes theirs for combat.
I just recently bought a Masada and found that it does shoot a little low (2” more or less) but I found that if you aim the way that Israelis are taught to aim you are pretty much on center. Now I don’t have the experience which most of your viewers have but I don’t have the problem in aiming which many people complain about. I have found that the Masada is extremely accurate with a recoil similar to the Bersa 380.
IWI Masada > Glock, but Hickok is not ready for this debate.
I’ve been getting my gun knowledge from Mr45 since I was 9 years old I’m now 20 I can’t believe he’s still goin on strong
Ambidextrous trigger, ambidextrous grip, and ambidextrous sights!?!? Brilliant!!! Hahaha! I love my Masada. Seriously it’s a fantastic pistol for the money. Merry Christmas to you and your family 😎
Really thinking about this for my next one as I am lefty!!
Seeing hickok shooting guns is so amazing I've been watching you since i was 10 yrs old keep shooting stay healthy pops. pew pew
I will. I want to still be doing this when you are MY age. :-)
I fell in love with mine, I compared glock and other sight ready with the IWI and I went home with the IWI. Price must have went up I paid $525 new Glock was almost $700 Put a dot on it and got it dialed in and it’s my favorite pistol. I still EDC my M&P because of the size, but I could Conceal carry the Masada in my front bib pocket. No safety so I don’t keep on in the chamber.
Sounds like you got your head busted by the lgs. It happens to the best of us, but don't be a sucker next time. I appreciate those who can afford to support local biz, but when we're talking nearly double the price ($700 for a gun that can easily be found for $400), they're being greedy so I'll return the favor and order online. Good pickup though.
Certainly do appreciate your time in bringing these videos to us and I would like to extend a Merry Christmas to you and your family and good health to you all
It shoots low because you are using them as conventional sights. These are combat sights and it’s zeroed at 25 yards when you hold front dot on bullseye.
I Slapped A Leopold Delta Point Pro on to my Masada... Probably the best Handgun ive fired. it never shot low for me prior to putting a RDS on it btw. I just felt the need to fill that optic cut. im about to be ordering the manticore Guide rod and the threaded barrel.
Hick is a funny dude. His sarcasm at times has me cracking up. Big shout out though. Really enjoy the channel.
is this the first time Hickok45 didn't take down a gun to see the innards?
Yeah, I just totally forgot. Looks about like all the others, though. Guess that's one reason it slipped my mind; there was nothing special or different about it.
@@hickok45 and that is where you got very wrong. It has something different inside, I won't say what as you didn't liked it anyway.
@@hickok45 Isn't it a modular gun like the Sig? So you stamp only the metal insides and then you can put whatever plastic furniture on you want
I'm a big IWI fan. When your little country is surrounded on 3 sides by countries that would love nothing more than to wipe you from the face of the earth, you're gonna make some nice guns.
If you're going to stop people on the road and invite them in to come shoot guns I'm going to park outside your house for my holiday lol. Love my IWI .
This is a great review. I have this pistol and it is extremely reliable. The great option is that you can use the delta point Luepold, holsulm, Trijicon RMR and RMO. Mepolite makes a night sight specifically for this system. The trigger is really nice. Better than the Major of stock triggers. The he feel of the weapon is outstanding in the hand with 3 back step options.
That would unnerve me too. I'm a 6 o'clock guy too. Many years of revolver and 1911 shooting lol. I am also a fan of Talon grips. Had em and used em before I watched your vids
I got one 2 days ago. They are wonderful. I suggest anybody to get one !
🤣 “this is a great gun for da fence”
@Mitchell Nova LMAO you're funny
I like mine a lot. I installed a Holosun 507c-GR and TLR1 HL light. C&G holsters even makes a holster for that combo. I plan to order one soon.
I need to get down to Tennessee! The weather looks much nicer there. :-)
I like point of aim to be point of impact when I do my part.
The polymer wonder 9s are simply awesome because of selection. And with variety comes tight competition. Iwi is known to make good shit. Seriously considering one of these masadas
hello hickok45 . been watching you since i was 18, now 25. huge fan. hello john i have love for you and your father for all the incredible balance of knowledge on firearms. appreciate all that you do. and happy early thanksgiving GET FULL AND PULL!!
I'm a simple man: I see a new Hickok video, I hit play
Such an original comment. Bravo
I will definitely check this pistol out, great review!
6 o'clock is my preferred when using "iron" sights, scopes, red dots, etc I put the dot right on the target.
This is my go to channel if I need gun advise 👍🏼 thank you 🇺🇸
One more year and lots of paperwork I can own a hand gun 😂
You’re a very funny man, I love your “sarcasm”, it’s funny!!
H45. From another shooter's review: 'The Masada is a great shooting pistol with a even better price tag. I also found out the sights on the Masada are sighted in for a 25 meter zero, so you need to aim with the 3 dots in the center of the bullseye.'
This likely explains the pistol shooting low consistently.
Good job Hickok45 ! Your videos make me happier!!! All the best for you and your family!!!
Much respect ✊ and love for this man God Bless him
If anyone tried robbing this guy they’re in for a lot 😂

John at the end of the video "This is great gun for the fence". Funny.
I like the historical reference to Mt. Masada
"You gotta shoot 'em in the head!"
*BANG!*
"The one with the brain!"
"That's where I was aiming!"
If they offered those with walnut grips and an ambidextrous cylinder release , I'd get one. Merry Christmas!!!
The sights can be better but the actual pistol is outstanding.
Put a red dot on it.
I have been told that it takes the Sig Sauer P-series pistol sights, like the P226 and the P320 sights. I have my sights on some P320 sights for it.
Yes it take p320 sights
I can also confirm it takes sig sights
@@capcadetNH are you using suppressor sights? Or regular Sights? I just ordered some Truglo #6 front #8 back. Will that work?
@@kanelive2686 I am using suppressor hight sights
@@kanelive2686 as long as the sights you ordered can fit a sig, you should be fine
I just traded in a Glock 19 for an IWI Masada. I very much prefer its ergonomics.
The Masada and the Jerico both from IWI are on my radar. I will buy one if not both if they begin to make them in flat dark earth and/or coyote tan colors.
The jericho 941 f9 is a beautiful gun and shoots so accurately. Bought one this fall and I don't regret it one bit
Its sure flings that brass away. That's something I pay attention to in gun reviews that I don't think many have, and I've seen a lot that just kind of drop the casings beside you, kinda spew em out. This one flings those things!
Speaking of Balistol, I bought some and gave it a try as a result of Hickock 45's recommendation. It cleans, lubes and protects as well as CLR, which I had been using. It's solvent power is a bit better than CLR. As good as Hoppes. Lubes as good as Rem Oil and is as persistent. Any downside? I had two pieces of skateboard tape on the rear of my Glock 19 slide to assist my 66 year old fingers in slide manipulation. They held just fine for one solid year of daily use and biweekly cleaning with CLR. One cleaning with Balistol and the glue weakened due to the vigorous solvent action of the Balistol. Tape fell right off even though I put no Balitol on the outside of the slide. It migrated by itself and melted the glue on the skateboard tape. Which I had softened with a heatgun when I applied it. Boy was it on there solid. Any one else notice anything like that?
Merry Christmas hickok and everyone watching this channel~!
Hickok sounds happy. Evermore happy
He gets to pull a +rigg€r and get bam bams every day.
I have approximately 1200 rounds through mine. It was shooting low for me too but then i read that it was zeroed for 25 meters and your POI is where the front dot is. I made those adjustments and I'm getting fantastic groups now. Also the trigger got really nice after 500 rounds or so. The only malfunctions that I've had with it are with Blazer Aluminum case ammo. It really doesn't like that stuff but it eats through everything else like butter
Thank you for the review. I think it's a neat gun.
IWI (IMI) is one of the most under rater manufacturers. Some of the best weapons in the world were born in Israel
Always a Positive attitude!!! Love Hickok45
I just bought the IWI Masada tactical in fde. I can’t wait for my FFL to give me a call.
