IWI Israeli Jericho Pistol 

SAS: More useful information in under 15 minutes than some other gun channels can deliver in twice the time. Nicely done.

Keeping that decocking technique in my head, absolutely love my Jericho, if I only had a larger frame I’d have it as my EDC

I have one from 03-04 timeframe in .45. Back when it was still imi instead instead of iwi. They were called the baby eagle then and were imported by magnum research. Everything you said for the 9mm holds true for the .45 as well. They're really nice pistols and it cost all of $400. And the gun shop owner threw in two boxes of ammo as well

New to your channel & love it! Don't need 20+ minutes Of shooting steel, bowling pins, and 2 liter soda bottles over & over again. You're clear & precise with the description of the weapon. I did hit the subscribe bar!!

Actually, the IMI/IWI Jericho Pistols are based off of the Tanfoglio design Cz75 Clones and many parts will interchange. Tanfoglio has and still does supply many parts for the Israeli production of these Pistols.

Personally, I like how the frame mounted safety can be applied with the hammer down (my only complaint of the CZ-75).

As for the Italian flavour (and some materials) of the Jericho, mine came in its original box with two magazines marked "Tanfoglio".

I thought of this gun as a lower quality cz75, never saw the appeal of this till now. Its actually nicely made and good value.

There are alternative parts for this pistol but the info is hard to come by. It took me a lot of time to figure some of these out so I'll list a few. Meprolight makes two types of night sights, one pair like the ones that come stock and one pair with a shelf for single hand use. Hogue makes several pairs of grips from checkered wood to g10. CZ 75 mags do work, they might not lock open at first but after roughly 100 rounds they won't have problems. Dawson has a fiber optic front sight marked as desert eagle and maybe baby eagle (I don't remember) there's not much indication but the .120x.115 inch sight is the one for the current production Jericho. EAA carries Tanfoglio parts some of which are compatible, all I know for sure is the witness hammers work.

I was torn between either getting the CZ 75 or the Jericho. I decided to go with the Jericho & ordered it a couple days ago. Can't wait to get my hands on it & take it for a test run at the range. Thanks for the stupendous review.👍

Great review! I have the Jericho .45 and I absolutely love it. I've put 900 rounds of Lawman FMJ through it and a box of Speer Gold Dot (20 rounds) Personal Defense ammo. I've had zero issues with it. This is my first .45 pistol and very happy I bought it. The trigger has great reset (distinct) and little recoil for a .45.

Excellent Review! Also note that the IWI Jericho Pistol is of a modified Tanfoglio Design and some Tanfoglio Witness Parts will interchange. Tanfoglio helped IWI develop this Pistol. Also note that the MRI Baby Eagle version of this Pistol comes with a Decocker Safety, should that be desired. Also note that Turkey, which is a Mid East Country, manufactures some very nicely made Cz75 Clones, and has quite an Industrial Manufacturing base.

I have an original IWI Magnum Research Baby Eagle in .45. It is by far my favorite hand gun of all of my hand guns. I am trying to find a holster to conceal carry it. Having a hard time. I think the Baby Eagle III is the same size, but I don't want to purchase until I know for sure. It is a heavy gun, but the quality is unmatched. The only thing I don't like is it doesn't feed HP as well as ball. But with .45 it isn't that big of a deal.

I love my 9mm Desert Eagle/CZ it is super reliable and has low recoil. It has never failed me despite cleaning it only once in 20 years

Well made but I still love Glock for simplicity of use and reliability even when abused.

Great video! I’ve owned a Uzi Baby Eagle .40 for over 30 years, still my favorite pistol!

I have one of the original "baby eagles". A very well made pistol

Does anyone know who makes a 9mm replacement barrel for a early IMI all steel baby desert eagle imported by interarms. It has decocker on the slide and currently is .40 S&W

See you Space Cowboy...

I had a Springfield P9 that was still original. Only had it a few months. I keep getting rid of every 40 cal I own lol.

Great job Chris - I am a big fan of yours! Couldn't agree more - I have a Jericho 941 F & it shoots like a dream... Very accurate & very well made.

I just finally saw a Jericho in person at my local shop and was able to hold it in my hands and go through it. It was a plastic version unfortunately but I figured it still was a good example to base my opinion on. It did feel at home in my hand thought not nearly as nice as any of my CZs. It also didn't seem anywhere near as nicely machined as my CZs. I was disappointed. I have been really looking forward to buying a 941R as my next pistol but since seeing that plastic one my dreams were really shot down. Is it possible that it wasn't a good example? It really did leave a lot to be desired with it's finish and machining especially when compared to my CZs.

Love how these guns look, wish it was a decocker only like a CZ PCR. I was going to buy one thinking it was at least a safety/decocker but now I'm not so sure.

Great review, Solid design and quality manufacturing makes it very reliable.

Have you heard about the new (post 2022) Jericho frames being manufactured in Vietnam, in their Z111 factory?

Nice video Chris as always! I just picked one of these up and it’s a beautiful pistol that’s well made.

Heck even the Galil is a copy of the Valmet.

Curious if there is a replacement trigger this is the only negative this pistol has it’s too long and too much curve .

My Uzi eagle is one of my favorite guns. Mine was milltary issue brought back from over seas... my kimber 45 is my every day carry but I love mine.. it has a extra switch.. I'll let figure out what its for...lol

Jerico or 941 is a single action ...and it is carried cocked and locked. Every round is fired in the same when the safety is removed. The baby eagles are a different weapon ...they have a standard action like a beretta with a decocker . First round after decocked and safety removed is double action...every round after that is single action. If you fire without engaging the safety after clambering every round is fired in the same way. One advantage to the decker action vs the single action is that you can re strike the same round if you encounter a hard primer without clambering a new round and changing your grip. I carry a 941 cocked and locked...and a baby eagle chambered hammer down safety on. They both have a firing pin block...and I've carried them in this way for years. You have to be mentally aware which one you are carrying ,if you own both.... because the initial response with the first round is different between the two pistol's actions. So train with the one you choose to carry for muscle memory . Plus the rifling you can't see is called "polygonal rifling" older baby eagles have it ...newer ones have six gooves. I believe the polygonal is more accurate

I have experience with the 941 FS (3.8" slide). It is heavy but super BALANCED, so the weight isn't bothersome or unwieldy. 941 FS pistols were smooth out of the box and got smoother after first trip to the range. Not one single malfunction using various factory ammo. It might seem unusual, but I've carried the 941 FS in a high ride pancake holster on a thick 1.5" leather belt, comfortably even though, for obvious reasons it's not my EDC. The hump on the lower portion of the backstrap creates a pocket for your palm under your thumb, which for me helps force the web of my hand as high up as possible into the beavertail. It's like gripping it assertively and feels positive with lots of control. It's sized for medium to large hands and too large for some other family members. My experience has been so positive, I'm now looking at getting the new Jericho Enhanced a.k.a. Jericho II with 3.8" slide, model J941PSL9-II. This new model has a polymer frame and has changeable backstraps to fit a wider range of shooters. These IWI Jericho pistols are EXCELLENT firearms.

Decocked, safety engaged, and an empty chamber. Certainly avoid negligent discharges

I've got 3 Baby Eagles and a Jericho. My only complaint is finding holster options and getting it milled for an optic.

Well done review sir , now I'm about to trade my Glock in on one of these 🤔😉😀😀 always loved them , now's the Time to get mine

Is good pistol but does have heave double trigger pull compare some other handguns that own still has very good single trigger action. As speak hold my 941 remind how heave it is compared to my ruger p90. But that being said I love my 941 would sell feel good in the hand. May be Spike from cowboy be had right when picked out be his main handgun. It one my favorite handguns that do own.

You sir, are the best, never giving out bull crap information. Always give out a little history with the firearms you show and I appreciate you very much. Sure wish I had purchased the build you did on the 556 from you guys. If you do another one I’ll put down a deposit to your beautiful wife

Nice pistol but I don’t like DA/SA without decocker. For me that turns it into a SA that is carried cocked and locked only.

Best pistol I own and have ever shot

Beautiful pistol. Now i want one.

I have the same one in 45 cal all steel no polymer and it has the decocker

always appreciate the knowledge

Off the strength of quality on this video wanted to subscribe. Not sure if theyre all like this, though good work, keep on. Wasnt #70,000 though, you're close

Thank you

Great video, concise and informative. I like the ones that mix talking with some shooting. Thanks for explaining and demonstrating how the safety on these work. These are attractive pistols!

Wish I can get iwi Jericho 45 acp polymer there Discontinued us

Slides and frames where made by Tanfoglio in Italy...may still be for all i know

Jericho 941 FS jest celną bronią!

Some day..

Excellent video

I want a .45 and 9 for Christmas lol

Hello could you please tell me if this is a semi compact Jericho? I have a 941fs. I have smaller hands and I’m trying to find a subcompact even with a poly frame would be fine. Any help would be appreciated. IWI is the best in my opinion. It has saved my life. Sincerely, Lady IWI

These are made by Tanfoglio.

Another great video Chris thanks. 👍

This is a great firearm I have shot it extensively in 40sw

I had 1 of the MR version baby eagle in 45 acp, if I get another one, 9mm or 45?

Excellent review...not a huge fan of the manual safety...I may end up going with the CZ 75 p0-1 with the decocker instead. Shame because I really like this pistol.

Wait...they removed the decocker?! What the heck

You say the frame and slide are stainless? I can't find anything that confirms this.

What is price point? I like all steel construction ,nice pistol

If you drop it or whack the hammer on half cock, won't it damage the sear? I own and carry one of these, full size in 9mm. I carry it C1 (cocked with safety on). I'm fine carrying it C2 like my 92FS, and know how to safely lower the hammer, but prefer to avoid the 0.0001% chance of an ND.

Which 1 would you choose a Jericho 45, or a $700 1911 ?

What brand of ear plugs do you use??? Really nice video.

Its really a nice gun sir.. And also a nice review.. What about the price of this gun?

O so it's made like a series 80 1911.

Why does everyone say the Jericho looks like the CZ75? If by that people mean they both have hammers, triggers, and a barrel then yeah sure they have similarities. Every gun has similarities. And yeah I get that it's based on the CZ but aside from some of the internals and the line that flows from the dust cover around the trigger and into the grip, I don't think they look very similar.. But maybe it's just me

Manly presents for modren times, A.D it is aftera all! Of course

Do you know any compatible dovetail rear sights would work for these? Glock? SW? 1911? Want to find a way to mount a red dot on sexy.

How much sir ? It’s nice design .thanks for share.

I love mine.

Great gun rented one at the range, anyho how do these run with hollow point ammo? Great review subbed for some time now.

Did he just scratch that slide getting the slide stop out? Additionally, he repeats saying it's a highly refined copy of the Cz75. Well I own a recently made post-Soviet block Cz75 B and a Cz75 P-01 which are as highly refined as my IWI Baby Desert Eagle and Tagfoglio TA-90. Communist era Cz products may be less than refined, Modern Cz guns are right up in quality with SIG, Walther an Beretta.

As always great informative vidio. Please take a minute to call my wife and tell her I SHOULD buy the Jericho.

Good day at the Range,.......

What about Bul Armory? or are those made in another plant?

My daily carrier, very sweet shooter

Was that the 3.8 inch barrel model?

There was a time where I was really interested in getting a Jericho, but I ended up getting a Sphinx SDP

What kind of reloader is that? I had the 1st gen Jericho 941 FB

What is that loading tool you are using? and where can I find one?

Ok, 3, 2, 1, Let's jam

It's not made of stainless steel.

See you space cowboy...

Would you recommend this for concealed carry?

What is the finish on the frame and slide? Noticed it has a dark grey color like parkerizing or some type of epoxy or ceramic paint. But I wondered if it's a version of nitride/QPQ.

I love your loading tool. Whats the actual product name?

Wish they made one in 10mm

Is this the compact version?

Can you run +P+ in the Jericho like you can in the HK USP

I have one in .40 (best round out there imho) 2nd one I've owned. The other was a IWI with no rail. Kicked myself in the ass for selling it. But got another one now and it ain't going anywhere. Now I got some vampires to kill.

The BT to me was painful and my knuckle dragged against the top surface of the bottom interior of the trigger guard during firing. Pass.

You keep bringing up the quality of the machining, but with israel not being a large country, they had to of bought the manufacturing machines from another country. Any idea as to who they bought their machines from? Toshiba, Haas, Heller, Mazak...

Q: hold up under +p, +p+, and 9mm Major. thought if had a stroke when yu tooled the slide lock out

You can airways trust steel

What about the fact that when you purchase IWI goods, you are technically supporting the IDF?

This is gun perfection

😍

Good video , Thank you . ??? Half cock for double action , Does it also work with the hammer down ?

One---Round---At---A ---Time--------Try loading a handful, its faster!

Not sure WHY I have four responses here. Site burp, I guess. Can't edit or delete them either.

what multi-tool is that?
