#MASADA 9MM 30 ROUND MAGAZINE MANUAL#
The six-pound striker-fired action includes a built-in manual safety in the trigger face as well as a crisp break and abbreviated reset. The Masada is available in black, OD, and FDE. Enhanced grip texture forms the perfect interface between gun and flesh. The deep beavertail and undercut trigger guard offer the lowest possible bore axis along with an instinctive grip-to-frame angle. The Masada features a synthetic frame formed from impact-resistant reinforced polymers along with three interchangeable wrap-around backstraps. This is the spirit of the state-of-the-art Israel Weapon Industries (IWI) Masada pistol. Once they finally entered the fortress they found two women and five children remaining alive out of 960 Hebrews.

Over three months, the Romans laboriously constructed a siege ramp to breach the walls. Silva’s 8,000 legionaries constructed a series of camps at the base of the mountain the outlines of which can still be seen today. The entire foundation of their empire was dependent upon subservience. The Roman governor of Judaea, Lucius Flavius Silva, commanded the legion X Fretensis, and he couldn’t allow the Hebrews to prevail.

This motley group consisted of soldiers, women, and children. Some 960 Sicarii rebels subsequently retreated to Masada. They razed the temple and scorched the earth. I can only imagine what it took to hump all those rocks up to the top of that thing.īy AD 73 the occupying Romans had exhausted their patience with the impertinent rebellious Hebrews. He built himself two fortified palaces there between 37 and 31 BC. Masada was the brainchild of Herod the Great. The word Masada is taken from the Hebrew metsada meaning “fortress.” The fortifications of Masada are perched atop a barren plateau some twelve miles east of Arad.
