No use re-inventing the wheel. As a PP suggested, everyone wanted a Glock clone or Glock competitor.
Now SIG's development of the FCG 'chassis', the serial numbered item of record, and transferable to different slides or grip modules does seem a breakthru'. It does make endless mods possible.

That IWI Masada slide assembly looks damn near identical to a VP9. Front slide serrations and machining look very similar. Even the sites look like the factory glow in the dark HK sites.

When Glocks first came out I thought them ugly and the was no way I was going through life with an ugly pistol... Now I appreciate their utilitarian/industrial look and I think they are the best looking of the polymer pistols. Not that I own any poly/SFA pistols. But as far as function, looks go when a thing has to do a certain job and function/interface with a human there are only so many ways it can look for it to work right.
I was looking at photos of the Masada a couple days ago and thought that the bottom of the grip and magazine baseplate look very similar to the Beretta APX:
Hasn't IWI been copying or leasing rights to designs. At one point they were making the PPQ or the S&W99, I forget which. Mags were even compatible.
Loved the look from the first time I saw it. Simple straight lines! I'm like that even with cars. Give me simple straight lines of any 80s - early 90s car over the spaceships they make today. Even loved the old tail lights that were essentially a rectangle with smaller rectangles inside

Wasn’t it Walther that made a HK P30 look alike. That’s what comes to mind to me.

Same thing with bolt guns. Most new guns take the best of Remmy Savage....there is only so much innovation possible.
