Jericho 941 FS Reviews

Jericho 941 FS Review

Conceived by Israeli Military Industries (IMI) in 1990, the IWI Jericho 941 pistol was based on the CZ 75—a design chosen both for its solid attributes and the ubiquity of parts available. In fact, parts for the original Jericho were produced by Tanfoglio. Picking a proven design and importing parts from a proven manufacturer made adopting a new service pistol far easier than seeking out a brand-new handgun, testing submissions from multiple manufacturers and developing a training program around an untried firearm. There were some minor differences, including polygonal rifling and a combined safety/decocking lever, but the original Jericho was basically a heavy CZ 75 in 9 mm.

The Jericho is a well-built and rugged pistol that has the original CZ 75 double-action (DA) operating system. Jeff Cooper was a fan of the CZ because its frame-mounted safety allows it to be carried with the hammer down in DA mode or “cocked and locked” like a 1911. Therefore it’s relatively easy to transition between a single-action (SA) semi-auto and the Jericho 941.

Whats up with the Jericho? is it a good design? or just a cheap gun with a badass look? reliable? etc...

I know that the CZ75 is the most issued handgun desing in the world, even more than Glock, which is amazing. Ive shot a couple of rounds thru a SP01 Tac, great gun, accurate, fast, VERY balanced, not a bad trigger.
