It’s a heavy steel gun made in a country where sand is a serious concern. And it has a unique look and profile that allows it to stand out. It goes bang when it needs to and is frustration-free. The Jericho is a reliable weapon without much need for constant cleaning or high maintenance. This big boy is a fun gun to shoot, and it’s an easy shooter. You can keep a five-shot group inside of 2 inches at 15 yards, and any closer, and it’s easy to make one ragged hole. Headshots at 25 yards are easy to do, and the weapon produces some impressive groups at 15 yards. I did some box drills against the clock and accurately landed six shots within 2.5 seconds from the holster.Īccuracy wise the gun is quite useful in single action.
The single-action trigger makes it easy to blaze away with a lot of control. It’s super light with a short pull and a short reset. This is especially true when firing from the draw or at any speed. This trigger pull is not the worst, but if DA/SA guns aren’t your jam, you’ll throw shots. The first pull is longer and much less smooth than striker-fired design, and it takes a determined pull to make the gun go bang. It makes manipulate the slide easier and doesn’t compromise ergonomics. The original Jericho pistols feature a frame-mounted safety, but the slide-mounted safety starts to make a lot of sense when you examine the short slide. Usually, I wouldn’t say I like slide-mounted safeties, but the Jericho’s short slide does allow me to manipulate the safety without changing my grip.
While the slide is small, it is very smooth and glides on its internal rails. The frame-mounted safety does give you some little wings to grip and rip the slide rearward. The slide is relatively short, and it has very little room to grip. The magazine release works and is reversible for lefties. The controls are very well suited for my massive hands, and it’s one of the few guns where my thumbs do not pin down the slide lock with a high thumbs forward grip. The grip panels kind of suck, but everything else is rock solid. Since we are talking grips, we should talk ergonomics. They are very smooth and not practical in Florida’s heat and humidity, where my hands coat the gun in sweat. The grip panels kind of suck and need replacing. The slide is also smaller than most taking a page from CZ’s book, which means less mass is being thrown backward with every shot. Even with 147-grain ammo, the gun barely bucks. The biggest thing you can love about this gun is how little it recoils. Its distinct appearance makes it an eye-catching option in a world of plain black polymer pistols. The Jericho stars in numerous films and television shows and is oddly often wielded by the bad guys. The Jericho serves as an odd and often unknown pop culture icon. It handles very nicely at the range as a heavy metal gun, and the DA/SA design is a personal favorite. The design of the gun makes it perfect for home defense, and even duty work. Modern Jericho pistols come in 9mm, 40 S&W, and 45 ACP. The caliber didn’t succeed, so the 41 AE conversion died a silent death. The 41 AE was a potent cartridge that outperformed the 40 S&W but didn’t quite hit heavy 10mm loads. The original Jericho 941 came in a 9mm configuration with the ability to convert the gun to anew caliber called 41 Action Express. The name Jericho 941 is a reference to the biblical Jericho, and the number 941 references caliber.
This team-up allowed them to create pistols based on a proven platform quickly. They teamed up with Tangolfio, a well-reputed company that produces CZ 75 clones.
