JERICHO 9MM FOR SALE
JERICHO 9MM FOR SALE. First introduced in the US in 1990, the Jericho 941 has enjoyed wide acceptance by American shooters over the last 25 years. Based on the highly regarded CZ-75 short recoil system. The Jericho Enhanced features a new frame without finger grooves, adjustable backstraps, Mil-STD 1913 picatinny front rail, new hammer profile, new trigger profile, new thumb safety lever, and Novak Sights all while keeping true to form to IWI’s exceptionally high standards for reliable performance, accuracy and quality construction.
The Jericho features a frame mounted safety enabling “condition one” cocked and locked carry with single action function or hammer down double action function.
The Jericho 941 is a double-action/single-action semi-automatic pistol developed by Israel Military Industries (now Israel Weapon Industries) that was launched in 1990. It was first imported into the US in 1990 by K.B.l. Inc. of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. It was later imported by O.. Mossberg & Sons and named the Uzi Eagle and by Magnum Research, Inc, as the Baby Eagle until the end of 2008. Some pistols from Magnum Research are marked Desert Eagle Pistol.
Despite these names being used in the US market, the Jericho 941 is not related to the IM Desert Eagle other than its manufacture and design by IMI, and bears only a slight cosmetic resemblance to the larger pistol. From January 2009 until they ceased business in January 2010, K.B.I., Inc. (which also imported Charles Daly firearms) imported the handgun as the Jericho. Magnum Research, now a division of Kahr Arms, announced a renewed
importation of the Jericho.

The original Jericho 941 was modeled on the well-respected CZ-75 pistol designed and produced by Ceská zbrojovka (CZ) of the Czech Republic and built using parts supplied by the Italian arms house Tanfoglio, which had been making their own CZ-75 clones, Using a well-tested designallowed IM to avoid the teething problems most new pistol designs experience, and subcontracting much of the basic fabrication work to Tanfoglio allowed IMIto quickly and economically put into production a pistol that would have enough Israeli content to satisfy government contract requirements. While the R-versions of Jericho 941 feature a combined safety/decocker (the decocking lever also acts as a safety and remains on “safe” when actuated), the decocker version of the CZ-75 (CZ-75BD) features a simple decocker (the pistol is always ready to fire in double-action mode when decocked). The barrel of the CZ-75 is traditionally rifled, while the Jericho 941 features a polygonal barrel, furthermore the Jericho 941 is substantially heavier. These differences translate into substantial differences in the condition in which the gun is carried. Magazines for the CZ-75 and Tanfoglio T95 will function in the Jericho 941.
One innovation by IMI was a new, much “hotter” cartridge, the 41 Action Express (see below) to go along with the Jericho 941. A key feature shared between 9mm and 41 AE is the same as 44 Magnum and ,50 AE in that the A cartridges have rebated rims which are the same diameter as the less powerful rounds, but the case is wider, providing more capacity and potential for more power. This allows these pairs of calibers to be used in the same firearm with only a-change of barrel, recoil spring and magazine.
The 41 AE was less commercially successful than the 10mm, and was soon discontinued. Experience with heavily loaded rounds gave IMI a considerable lead, however, in chambering for the soon-to-be successful 40 S&W and also allowed the Jericho to be designed for the very popular 45 ACP. The Jericho 941 design has been modified to include accessory rails on the frame for mounting lasers or flashlights, a feature found on many modern semi-
automatic handguns.JERICHO 9MM FOR SALE
Pride –
Don’t like the build up of the whole firearm. I think there are better options
