The IWI MASADA Tactical LE is a 9mm striker-fired duty pistol with a 4.6-inch stainless steel barrel and a 1/2x28 TPI threaded muzzle for mounting compatible devices. The slide is optic-ready from the factory, and the pistol ships with a 17+1 magazine for extended capacity. It is built around a duty-length profile suited to holstered carry and range use, and the striker-fired action is designed for a consistent trigger pull from the first shot to the last round in the magazine.

The MASADA Tactical LE gets attention as IWI's answer to the striker-fired duty pistol market. Owners generally describe it as reliable out of the box, with the threaded barrel and optic-ready slide seen as useful additions over the standard MASADA for anyone planning to run a light or red dot.

Ergonomics comments are mostly positive. The grip texture and angle feel natural to shooters coming from other striker-fired duty guns, and the longer barrel gives a stretched sight radius that some find helps with precision at distance. A few owners note the pistol runs larger than a compact carry gun, which is expected given its duty-length profile.

Aftermarket support is still catching up compared to more established brands, so holster and accessory options are more limited, though the threaded barrel and standard optic footprint help offset that for owners who want to add their own gear.
