This morning I went up into STL to a cell phone repair place to have a screen protector put on my phone and on the way back I stopped at a gun store right in the next plaza over. I had been there once before. This was about 15 minutes after they opened and I was greeted by a very friendly old combat airmen and a lady who is one half of the couple who own the store. I told them I was just looking, but I asked if they had a Masada Slim in stock. To my surprise they did. So I felt it up and was duly impressed. Feels nice in the hand. Kinda feels like a Sig grip to be honest. The trigger is pretty nice and it is slim, as advertised. Sale price was $440, which is a few bucks more than the average online price, but not by the time you factor in the transfer fee.
Anyway, I bought it. As usual I was delayed so I will pick the gun up after work on Friday ( I am busy Thursday night).
I intend to carry this one AIWB so I'll be picking up a holster, some extra mags ( it came with 2) and after I decide which one I will be fitting it with a dot.
I'll no doubt get it to the range next weekend and will share my thoughts, but based on handling it in the store and dry-firing I think it's a winner. And hard to beat for under $500.
