Hey everyone, new to pistols here. I got my Masada recently and went to double check the serial number of my registration with the one on the pistol just to make sure everything is correct. I see that in the registration paper i received there is an 8digit serial, but on my pistol i see only 4 digits.
These 4digits I see match the last 4digits of the serial number in the registration paper. but is it normal for Masada pistols to not show the first 4 digits of the serial? Thank you

Where are you looking on the pistol for your serial number? The full “legal” serial number must be on the frame. They might put a shortened 4 digit serial number on other components, slide, barrel etc
