The Masada Slim Elite is the result of IWI’s commitment to continuous optimization, drawing from real-world feedback and customer input. This compact, polymer, striker-fired pistol improves on the original Masada Slim without sacrificing compatibility with existing parts, maintaining its slim profile and compact design for everyday carry and performance.

Key upgrades in the Masada Slim Elite include an updated barrel with a longer feed ramp for enhanced feeding reliability with a wider range of ammo types. Additionally, the new trigger safety fin improves trigger feel and disengagement, making it more accessible to a variety of hand sizes. The standout feature of the Elite is its all-new grip module, which offers a more aggressive texture, interchangeable backstraps (small, medium, and large), a picatinny-style accessory rail, a raised trigger guard undercut for better control, and a flared magazine well for quicker reloads—while still allowing for easy mag stripping in case of a jam.

Built with the same modular, serialized high-grade steel trigger mechanism housing as the original Masada Slim, the Masada Slim Elite can be easily removed for cleaning and maintenance. The pistol is chambered in 9mm and comes with one 13-round and one 17-round magazine. Weighing 20.3oz without the magazine and 23oz with the 13-round magazine inserted, it offers a perfect balance of weight and maneuverability. The barrel length is 3.4 inches, delivering solid performance in a compact form.

The Masada Slim Elite NS model features Meprolight tritium night sights, enhancing visibility in low-light conditions. With its RMSc Shield optics cut, the slide allows for easy optic mounting, supporting optics like the Holosun EPS Carry, 507K X2, and Sig Romeo Zero. The picatinny-style rail is compatible with accessories like the Streamlight TLR-7/8 Sub (1913a), further increasing the pistol’s versatility.

For trigger performance, the Masada Slim Elite features a flat trigger with a built-in safety that prevents firing unless the trigger is fully engaged. The result is a crisp break and positive reset, ensuring optimal control.

Staying true to IWI’s legacy, the Masada Slim Elite is built to withstand the elements and perform when it matters most, making it an excellent choice for both concealed carry and everyday use.

Note: The factory frames are black, but frames can be cerakoted in various colors from Mischief Machine.
