Masada Range Review with Limp Wrist Test - TheFirearmGuy

Published on June 22, 2021
Duration: 6:11

This review of the IWI Masada highlights its features, including a 4.1-inch barrel, optic readiness with four plates, ambidextrous controls, and 17-round magazines. The reviewer notes a potential for the firearm to shoot low out of the box, though personal shooting technique is also considered. The Masada did not perform well during a limp-wrist test, experiencing multiple failures to eject and feed, which the reviewer attributes to the gun potentially needing a break-in period as it's a new firearm.
