IWI — Israel Weapon Industries — descends from the famed Israel Military Industries, the maker of the weapons that armed the Israel Defense Forces for generations, including the legendary Uzi and Galil. Its U.S. arm, IWI US, is based in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and brings that combat-tested heritage to American civilian shooters.
The lineup is anchored by the Tavor, a compact bullpup rifle adopted as a standard IDF service weapon, prized for its maneuverability and reliability. The Galil ACE modernizes the rugged AK-derived Galil platform, the X95 offers another bullpup option, and the Carmel and Zion bring conventional AR-style rifles. On the handgun side, the polymer striker-fired Masada competes in the duty-pistol market while the steel-framed Jericho (the "Baby Eagle") carries a long service pedigree.
For shooters who want firearms forged by one of the world's most demanding militaries, IWI delivers proven, hard-use designs.
