Our Assessment: The IMI Jericho 941 is an Israeli service pistol developed in the early 1990s, based on the proven CZ-75 design and adapted for military and law enforcement use. Manufactured by Israel Military Industries, the Jericho combines a steel frame with a double action and single action trigger system, offering durability and consistent performance. Early models were designed to accommodate multiple calibers, though this example is configured in 9mm Luger, a cartridge introduced in 1902 and widely adopted worldwide for its balance of performance and controllability. The Jericho quickly gained recognition for its reliability and solid construction, becoming a staple sidearm in both Israeli and international service. This example retains approximately 97 percent of its original blued finish, with visible handling marks, scratches, and moderate wear along the leading edges. The bore is bright with pronounced polygonal rifling and rates 9 out of 10, showing light fouling. The synthetic grip panels show moderate wear with scratches and compression marks but remain structurally sound, rating in Good condition. Markings are clear and well defined, with undamaged screw heads and proper mechanical function. The pistol includes one 17 round magazine in Very Good condition, completing a functional and well maintained package.
The Jericho 941’s steel frame and CZ-based design provide excellent balance and recoil control, while its DA/SA operation allows flexible use. Its reputation for ruggedness and reliability has made it a respected service pistol, and its distinctive styling has contributed to its recognition among enthusiasts. This example stands as a solid representation of early 1990s IMI production, combining proven design elements, good overall condition, and practical performance in a classic service pistol format. -R.E.
