Description
The IWI Masada Slim Elite Black 13 Round is the standard-capacity black version of IWI updated compact, and it comes with one flush 13-round magazine for carry and one extended 17-round magazine for the range or a spare.
IWI Masada Slim Elite Black 13 Round Overview
IWI built the Elite from owner feedback on the original Masada Slim. It adds a barrel with a longer feed ramp for better feeding across bullet shapes, a reshaped trigger safety blade, a more aggressive grip texture, interchangeable small, medium and large backstraps, an accessory rail, a higher trigger-guard undercut and a flared magazine well that still lets you strip a stuck magazine. Underneath is the serialized steel trigger housing that lifts out of the grip, which makes cleaning simple and lets IWI offer different grip frames. 3 inches.
Two Magazines, Two Jobs
The 13-round flush magazine keeps the grip short for concealment, while the 17-round magazine adds a full firing grip and four more rounds. Many owners carry the short one in the gun and the long one as a reload. Both are steel and fit any Masada Slim.
Optics Ready
The slide is cut for the RMSc Shield footprint, which fits common carry optics including the Holosun 507K and Sig Romeo Zero without an adapter plate. The factory white front dot and blacked-out rear work in daylight, but are not night sights.
Grip Module Upgrades
The Elite grip adds three backstraps, a flared magazine well and a higher undercut behind the trigger guard so your hand sits closer to the bore line. The rail fits the Streamlight TLR-7 Sub and TLR-8 Sub, two popular compact lights with good holster support.
Carry Notes
At 20.3 oz empty and 23 oz with the 13-round magazine, this is light enough for daily inside-the-waistband carry. Pair it with a sturdy belt and a holster made for the Slim Elite; Masada holster options are narrower than for the most common carry guns.
Where It Fits
The Slim Elite competes with the Sig P365 XL, Springfield Hellcat Pro and Glock 43X. It costs less than most of them, and the serialized chassis gives a little more flexibility. The trade is a smaller aftermarket and lower resale value.
State Laws and Ownership
Several states cap magazines at ten rounds, and the included 13 and 17-round magazines may not be legal there; IWI offers a 10-round model for those buyers. Pennsylvania has no magazine-capacity limit. Some states also require a pistol to appear on an approved roster, and the Masada Slim line is not on every list. Check your state and local rules before ordering, and confirm with the dealer who will receive the gun.

Before You Buy
