IWI Masada Rounds 1151-1400

So after voting I felt a need to be clean.

What better way to wash off the funk of participating in a Democrat primary than with cleansing fire?

To the range I went.

It would be a quick visit as much to do today, so I had much to shoot and all of a half hour to do it in.

The results of first 17 round magazine fired rapidly at 50 feet

Between the Masada's good ergonomics, nice trigger, and the Trijicon SRO, it's darn hard to miss the target.

I had recently purchased some more IWI Masada magazines at Gunbuyer.com as they seem to have the best price on them at under $26 a pop, which is not bad for a quality steel magazine.

I had 8 loaded mags with me that I emptied in very short order.

Again, visible smoke was seen rising from the barrel after shooting all 8 fully loaded mags in quick succession.

I then reloaded the magazines and kept firing - two handed, weak hand only, and strong hand only.

I also did presentations from low ready as the local range does not allow holsters - I need to go to the outdoor range to get that working, which will be soon now the weather is clearing up. The SRO's dot is rather quick to pickup and firing failure to stop drills rapidly with good hits was very easy.

The Masada and the SRO are a very effective combination.

I fired all 250 rounds from that Federal 9mm Black Pack through the Masada rather quickly and there were no failures of any kind to report, the Masada just kept chugging right along even as it looked like this:

It's certainly getting dirty, but that hasn't impaired the functionality in any way, and its still very enjoyable to shoot.

MrGarabaldi: Its been very good so far. I'm quite happy with how it handles.

Old NFO: The Federal Black Pack 9mm certainly leaves behind quite a bit of residue. I'm happy with how well its running so far.
