A Look at My New Jericho 941 R Kit

Today we are taking a look at my new Jericho 941 R kit. This gun has a lot of pretty cool history and is featured in one of my favorite animated series of all time, so I was naturally very drawn to it and wanted to acquire my own Jericho 941 at some point. I had noticed that over the last couple of years, they were only going up in price and figured I should jump on one at the next chance I had. I stumbled upon this Jericho 941 R kit containing both 9mm and 41AE barrels as well as all the original cleaning and carrying supplies that KBI shipped with the kit. In addition to this, I received several magazines for each caliber. This video is designed more as a show and a look at my new Jericho 941 R kit as opposed to an in depth look at the gun and its history.
I am really picky when it comes to the quality of most things I buy and the Jericho 941 was no exception, especially since it was quite expensive for a handgun. That being said, I don’t think that the quality of the Jericho that I received is terrible or even bad really. The exterior finish on the 941 R I got is quite good with the exception of some of the glossier blued parts like the hammer and slide release as well as the frame where the slide release locks in. I feel that the quality is good, but it isn’t as described by the retailer from which I purchased the gun. I spend a lot of time in the video complaining about this fact you will find, but I can’t help but be a bit salty. After taking a look at my new Jericho 941 R kit I found that the feed ramp was caked in dried powder and that the slide had heavy wear markings under the bolt and along the slide. This was frustrating since the seller described the firearm as “Once Fired, Excellent Condition.” I had multiple different people look at it, including a smith who agreed that it probably had closer to 200-300+ rounds through it.
I have contacted the seller and am asking him what he has to say regarding the quality of the Jericho 941 I received versus the quality that he claimed it was in and he has so far been VERY rude and unhelpful and is insisting that I am wrong. I don’t plan to throw him under the bus by releasing the name of the retailer yet, on the off chance that he makes this right in some way but overall am expecting him to continue being stubborn about that matter and will choose my course of action from there when the time comes. The Jericho 941 R kit that I have functions fine so far and I still serviceable, but I HIGHLY dislike being misled or lied to and especially dislike giving my money to a company that acts in such a way. All I really want is for the guy to admit that either someone owned the gun before him and he doesn’t know if they fired it more or that he did in fact fire more than a couple dozen shots, and apologize for misleading me to any degree. I think that it is a detriment to an already threatened community of peaceful gun owners for there to be someone lying and disserving within our ranks.
Let me know your thoughts on the kit as well as your thoughts on the condition compared to the description I was given. Part of me wants to believe that I am being over expectant of the condition this Jericho 941 R should have been in, but everyone I have spoken to seems to agree that it is in much worse condition than “maybe 20 rounds or so.”
Thanks for watching.

[@tanner_miller]

Just re-watched this. I don't know why I keep calling the slide lock/release the magazine release. Thanks for watching, even though I am a fucking idiot.

Ya got that right

[@frankernest3712]

Never believed anyone about a round count any firearm

[@neocommodore]

That sucks!!! I love the weapon, and I'm sure you have an excellent firearm, but I'd be furious. I missed in the video if you said the price, but I saw someone else comment mention $1500. I get that because you didn't want new you couldn't take a sub $600 price, but OUCH! Not $1500 for a firearm that's been abuse (failure to clean is abuse in my book) that much. Keep in mind, I served in an infantry regiment, our M9s were 15+ years old and none were that dirty and few had that much wear on the hammer. I want the .41 AE and .40 S&W components for the 941F (as well as the original cleaning kit) just to have a complete set. I've even considered paying for an R model. My problem is because I don't intend to use them (except maybe the R slide for safer decocking on range), I really don't want to invest much in the extra parts. I would however pay extra for grips with the IDF logo, I don't like the IWI logo, and while I liked the Magnum Research logo back when I had the "Baby Desert Eagle" since Khar took over and ruined things I've been boycotting them. M.R./Khar is also why I won't buy any D.E. or the D.E.1911G. Now that you've had your firearm for a couple years are you satisfied with how it performs on the range? Which ammunition do you prefer to use? Have you added any 'optics' or other accessories? Do you wish you had the Picatinny rail?

[@tanner_miller]

@@neocommodore It's a nice shooter and has treated me well. Heavy boi for sure, but that isn't a problem - I like full steel handguns. It's a great gun to hand to a new shooter since the weight makes it a lot less snappy. I actually haven't even shot any of the .41 AE and haven't added anything to it, nor do I plan to. It is a smooth shooting gun with a nice profile that I don't think needs tampered with. Might get some different grips at some point though - the OEM ones are pretty chintzy.

[@Shaggerton]

Just got a complete kit similar to yours! So excited to take it to the range and shoot the @&$) out of it.

[@11ops11]

I'm no gunsmith, but I've worked with the Jericho quite a bit, both in and out of the military. The seller might have only shot it once, but this pistol has seen hundreds of rounds at least, maybe even 1,000+. The Jericho resists wear pretty well. All in all, still an amazing and extremely reliable pistol. This particular version of it, with the old school slide release and decocker is probably my all time favorite. Still a great purchase!

[@seanconnolly1154]

See you space cowboy

[@EarthBoundBean]

I found a brand new jericho 941 R with 5 mags and one 9mm barrel for a about $500 in a small backwater gun shop in arizona. other then the miss leading description i think you made it out on top at the end of the deal.

[@boscoman69]

If you look closely he got the kit with the ability to shoot 41 AE. That raises the price considerably.

[@JacksonWalter735]

Can you tell me which gun shop in Arizona you went to? I would love to swing by.

[@juan_valdez117]

I wanna swing by there too

[@RedEyePergo]

Replace the 20lb stock hammer spring with a 15lb Wolff spring . You will thank me ! $10 upgrade takes 5 minutes and makes the DA trigger pull so much better

[@jamescole7501]

Hey I know this is a few years old, but that gun is "excellent condition" any day of the week. I think you were maybe expecting something closer to "like new", but the exterior (let's face it, the most important finish) is beautiful. A little wear on the usual interior wear points - but this just means you can shoot it guilt free. You wouldn't (or might, if you're so inclined) be able to do that with an actual NIB pistol. Nice vid & extras with the gun - hope you got past the disappointment & moved to enjoyment.

[@Afrobob222]

Totally justified in being disappointed with the condition received versus the condition represented. For some people, $1500 isn't a big deal to spend on a firearm, but if it's something you are specifically looking for and end up paying more for it because it's exactly what you wanted only to have it misrepresented, I'd be sour too.

[@tanner_miller]

Yeah, I took a chance because I fear these will keep rising in price. I definitely didn't anticipate spending $1500 on a firearm, haha.

[@RedEyePergo]

Just got mine last year as well . Bought the IMI 941 F and Spikes 941 R. The F with the Frame safety is pretty common and cheap on gun broker $500 . But the R with the decocker was a bit more at $700 and very rare . But for either price this gun is amazing ! Once you shoot a heavy steel frame hammer fired gun like this you'll never want to touch tactical Tupperware again. Also dude it's a discontinued Israeli military sidearm stop whining about wear marks . This guns been to war and back those scratches are a badge of honor. Spike drops his gun , gets it slashed by a sword excetra Its supposed to get roughed up

[@spaceracer23]

I picked up a 941 for the same reason. I found a company on gunbroker that was selling factory refurbished show models for $500. It came with the original box, cleaning kit, one mag 9mm, and one 9mm barrel. It was covered in cosmoline, and took some effort to clean, but it's been great ever since. For $1500..... well you did get a lot of cool extras. I'd hold onto the 41 ammo and barrels just for collector value.

[@diemos322jones9]

It's a gun. . IMO, it's in phenomenal shape/ condition.

[@mikes1172]

I bought one for close to $300 back 4 years ago, refinished it and put nite sites on it...super sweet. I know you can have a new one for under $600 but I wanted the old model with no pic rail. Since, then I have bought a new one and gave it as a gift to my girlfriend. In fact every girl I've dated have loved Jericho's and I have quite a few pistols and they are always a favorite among the ladies. I see a few more Jericho's coming my way as they are just really awesome pistols. The DA/SA on my pistol is super great, so smooth, easily best handling trigger on any of my pistols.

[@maximus1234ification]

You are very nit-picky- I would love to see you do a video of how you restored this start to finish.

[@SimanSlivar]

I got mine for a grand on gun broker with everything about a year ago. It had about 50 rounds through it and was never cleaned, that was it. O and the carboard box had water damage. Took her apart and threw everything in the sonic cleaner. After getting it back together, oiled, shot it. It shoots better than my sig 229 legion, and personally its my best firing handgun and that's saying something. I love mine, but I need to find a way to have the tritium vials replaced.

[@kraptastic333]

[@krzhands]

Prob not the first to say: STOP calling the condition, the quality!!! And, then go on to say it fifty more times. The quality of jerichos is excellent. The condition of yours is, well, excellent too. Don’t know what you were hoping for, but that’s a damn nice weapon.

[@ugatobekittenme]

im surprised you seem to be so concerned with the condition, I think character is far more valuable than something that looks like it was straight out of the factory

[@tanner_miller]

I agree on things like milsurp and antique/relic arms - especially when described as such. My concern was less about the condition as a whole and more with the seller's description not being accurate to the actual condition.

[@JesusGuerrero-fe3du]

Definitely worth it I have one just like it but doesn't look like this gun your gun looks way better than mine my barrel is more worn down and I have drag in my casing when I shoot this gun wasn't fired as much as mine you got a good deal on yours

[@Rob69rickysdonkey]

Do you just swap at the barrel to go from 41ae to 9mm?

[@-o-The-Duke-o-]

Spending that much, I would agree that it isn't in the described condition. I'd be upset. Though I would still keep it and doll it up with a hard chrome finish and some Lok Bebop grips. Your model is the exact configuration for my perfect Jericho 941. Big time score albeit with a bit of a heavy price.

[@itstiny.]

Got a newer model 941F from a gun show in June and sweet jesus, I don't think I want any other pistol. Put at least 2,500 rounds through it and still running strong.

[@christopher7398]

Is there a significant difference between something like this and the factory new 941’s coming out of Pennsylvania? Cause they’re going for like $600

[@DaniScatch]

that guns had hundreds of rounds put down it. I bought my jericho a few monthes ago, and its in alot better condition then that. i bought it used, and expected one more like that, i seem to have gotten the opposite of yours. Slide release still very worn. Id also just about sell an arm and a leg for one of those .41 barrels!

[@phantom-gaming927]

I have a 941F frame safety > slide safety. Im not OCD so I dont care that its not a 941R. Its my bedside gun considering id never carry it lol. Never had a malfunction. Ate everything I threw in it.

[@hawkeyeinthehouse2995]

I recently picked up on one very similar to the one you showed. Mine has a rail, which I do like very much. It came with the original box, 2 mags (1-15rd, 1-10rd) and beautiful shade of blue G10 grips that contasted well against the matt black finish. I paid $500 OTD at a gun show about a year ago.😊😊😊

[@BuildProne]

Lok Grips, makes some Bebop styled panels, for the 941.

[@PADDLERSOFUSA]

I’ve got one just like this without the 41 ae stuff. Great gun. They’re going up in price ridiculously so I’m glad I was able to get mine when I did. They’re good guns but not worth 600+ say for the Bebop factor. Just be sure to use brass ammo my original extractor literally broke. The DPM recoil spring is worth it though makes it handle even better. Now someone just needs to make Spike’s grips and I will be knockin on heavens door.

[@tanner_miller]

Yeah, I definitely wouldn't pay over $600 for just the gun; only for the the whole kit and then some. I saw someone who custom modified some Hogue grips to look sorta like Spike's, his gun also has a grip mounted laser sight, even though he never used it. Dunno if I care that much to get one of those, haha.

[@Soto713]

Beautiful gun. Not cheap what you paid for it but I have never seen one in that good of shape and with the extra barrels. The barrel was dirty. But inside the slide isn't too bad. The patina of the hammer and slide release is somewhat of a normal thing for those guns. Mostly the patina is from the oils of the hands. I think it looks good. Some people don't. If my memory is correct the slide and frame are coated at different facilities so one will wear a little faster than the other because of difference in tolerances. Judging by the little bit of wear and the carbon built up on the barrel ramp I'm guessing that it probably was shot and just coated in a thin oil. Nice gun and great score on the extra barrel. Those often go for a 1k depending on who, when and where. I forgot if it's cool hand grips or Lok grips but one of them makes the cowboy Bebop grips. If you are into mods they are certain CZ and EA witnesses spring kits available. Depending on if it's for collecting or shooting. But yeah the discrimination should have listed this as I dunno. 90%-95% condition. . At least he didn't say like new

[@tanner_miller]

I have considered picking up those grips you mentioned. I need to jot that down so next time I am feeling like buying shit impulsively I can get those, haha.

[@1968CudaGuy]

Galling on the 41 barrel shows that a couple hundred rounds have been put thru it. 9mm looks about the same. I have a Jericho 941 in the original box with the UZI IMI marked boxes of ammo and complete R.I.G. cleaning kit. Have Lee carbide die set and about 300rds of 41 AE brass and two boxes of 210gr .410 bullets.

where can I look to find one of these, all I find are the f models or baby eagle versions. if you know pls reply

[@vinceh.1028]

You keep talking about the "quality" of the gun. You should be talking about the "condition" of the gun. These guns are of unrivaled quality in my opinion. Very under rated. The problem you are having is condition. I understand that. Inexperienced people may think that the gun itself is not of quality. I have had more than one and they are as good as any 1911 I have and better than than some others. And anyway just enjoy it

[@tanner_miller]

Yeah, I guess you're right from a semantic perspective; especially if I were talking to a layman. Of course, eventually issues with condition result in issues with quality. I should've probably worded things better, but I can't imagine a lot of people interested in watching a video about this gun would misinterpret what I was saying.

[@freak6042]

Those are well built weapons. I have the 941F. The F model is a frame mounted safety. It's my EDC. Mine only cost $590 but I didn't get any extras except a 2nd mag

Once doesn't mean one shot, fired once means fired once - maybe fired 500 rounds at one time. i don't know what you paid for it, but its a great gun. just clean it up and you will be surprised.

These metal framed, slide safety models are incredibly expensive for no reason. A brand new metal frame mounted safety version could be had for 500 bucks all day. But a dumpy scratched up, rusted, and broken slide safety model is rarely found for less than 800 bucks. Around 1000+ is the norm.

Your not being petty, it's spineless people doing horseshit or neglect to inform. Walked away from several purchases because of that. For some strange reason when you negotiate the price sellers get mad despite misleading descriptions/pics. Overall you got a great package deal with everything and unless the seller never field stripped it was definitely leading you on. Numrich gun parts has stuff listed under Kassnar, stock up on a few small parts and should last a lifetime.

[@afterzanzibar]

Have you even shot the gun at all before this review?

[@PokemonHaloFan]

Very nice. Do you plan on changing the stock recoil spring and guide rod to the heavier chrome plated one like Spike has on his? I've heard a lot of people who own Jericho's do that because the heavier recoil spring and guide rod for the .41 AE chambering greatly reduces recoil when the gun is chambered in 9mm.

[@tanner_miller]

I had read something about that and it does have me curious. I might consider trying it out to see what it is like next time I get out to shoot. Can't hate the aesthetic perks either!

[@jeremyramirez1321]

I never have room to complain about price on mine cause only paid $50 and an extra clip.

[@nrd515]

Well, you did get scammed, a little. I got my Jericho, a later one, 9mm, off Gunbroker and I got exactly what I had expected, a barely fired, but pretty dirty gun. My barrel is mirror polished, much nicer machining, and the feed ramp is slick as glass. It joins my 3 other Israeli Tanfoglio guns as the favorites in my collection. I've apparently been very lucky, as all the guns I've bought on Gunbroker have at least been as good as described, most were better, and a couple of them just needed a cleaning to be virtually in new condition. My Jericho had a low "Buy it now" price, and I jumped on it. Previously I had bid on several well used surplus guns and was outbid on all of them. I ended up with a much nicer gun. You did everything right, you just were a little bit unlucky.

[@tanner_miller]

I do really like shooting it all things aside. I can definitely see myself getting a 92FS, a newer Jericho, and some other DA/SA guns in the future when I have some more funds.

[@nrd515]

@@tanner_miller My 92FS is about the only gun I haven't replaced after I had to sell most of them back in '13 for taxes. They did save me from going into major debt to pay a tax bill I was totally unprepared for. My finances are a lot better now, and I don't have too many guns left that I want at this point. Now you've got me thinking about another 92FS. My last one was a steal and I made almost $200 when I sold it. It was a police trade in, and was barely shot even though it was 10 years old. It had one tiny scratch on the bottom of the trigger guard. All I did to it was replace the recoil spring, and clean it up. The gun I really want bad is a Sig Stainless Elite, 226 or 229 9mm. Almost pulled the trigger on one a couple of weeks ago, but I bought the parts for a new PC instead.

@@nrd515 Ayyyy. I can't fault you for buying new PC parts. Costs more than a lot of guns if you go big on PC parts, but I definitely spend GOBS more time on the computer than I do shooting.

I could have bought the Sig SSE, a 92FS, and a new Jericho for what I spent on it. The CPU is going to be water cooled and it has lots of RGB lights in it. The case weighs over 30 pounds empty from the side window being tempered glass. If I get the check I hope to get in January, I will be buying the Sig for sure. Sig isn't making stainless frame guns anymore, and I want one. I love all steel guns. I didn't buy one of the decent looking 92S's I've seen because of the mag release. I have a ton of Beretta 92 mags as my Kel-Tec SUB2000 takes them and I got a bunch of mags with my 92FS as part of the deal. Most of the extras are junk, but the SUB doesn't seem to have a problem with them, and after a little playing with them, they worked fine in the 92FS also. I need to just go shoot more. I used to be pretty decent, but aging eyes and not shooting much has me shooting, well, OK, I don't have problems hitting stuff, but groups are not good, and last time I went, my messed up back sure didn't help out.

My buddy has a SUB2k as a bugout gun and fucking loves that thing even though it got recalled not too long ago. He got it back recently and has modded it up a bit. I feel you though, man. My lack of funds also makes it difficult to spend money on ammo and range time, so I only really shoot during the nice weather and when I can get access to the land I use to shoot.

[@blueishgreen76]

The odd patina/bleed-though on controls is near universal based upon mine and every other example I've ever seen. It's often visible in areas that are well away from normal wear points. That part of the condition is likely the factory original finish. Now that someone wouldn't bother to take 20 min to properly clean a $1,200+ gun set being sold as "fired once" does raise questions.

Yeah, I think the lack of care is what made me even more skeptical than I needed to be. I don't mind the patina on some of the controls though. Kinda nice looking actually.

I really should have assumed the worst after he said, "Once fired," only to follow up with, "Well, about a dozen rounds." Live and learn I suppose.

[@JesusGuerrero-fe3du]

My gun is a .40 cal and I shot it one time and it's an amazing gun due to not having that many bullets but everything works properly and I have more wear on the barrel due to my extractor being so far out but I fixed the issue

[@dabisnit]

Keep all the parts in the way you got them. It isn't a pristine condition gun, but it is better than 95% of them out there and if the 941 R will be a collectors item, it'll retain so much more of it's value. I got mine about the same time you uploaded your vid and am keeping it all original even though it isn't nearly as good as yours. At most I'll install some wood grips but still keep the orginals

[@ObsceneBlue79]

So this is just some insight on your 41 AE barrel. The strange milling marks on the length of the barrel is due to worn tooling, and as long as the diameter was in tolerance the worker probably just hit it with some Emery cloth and called it good. Makes for a poor looking finish but functionally, as it's the O.D., it won't hurt anything. As for the labeling, it was likely a poor hit on the stamp and instead of trying to restamp the worker decided to engrave it. Some people are simply no good at restamping, resulting in multiple stamps just slightly off from each other. Or if a machine was doing the stamping/engraving, it could just be overly difficult to get everything lined up right to a good part and this was a simple/faster solution.

[@tanner_miller]

Appreciate the insight! I'm not super knowledgeable about smithing so it seemed weird to me.

I just talked to my Local Gun Shop and am picking my 941 up for $580 wouldn’t it have been easier to get the barrels and gun separate?

[@tanner_miller]

Depends which 941 you are getting. They are still in production and sell for about what you are paying. The older ones have the slide mounted safety and decocker instead of frame mounted like the current production models. I don't even think the newer ones are compatible with the .41 AE parts, though I have never looked into it. It is possible to purchase just the barrels and just the gun, but having the whole kit with matching serials was more appealing to me.

[@Bradimus1981]

Just my opinion, but it seems your "deal" was "OK". I would not say you were "ripped off", but it was far from a grand slam deal. Has the value of the firearm gone up a bit?

[@willyorca5364]

I have a new one its only 4 years old only fired one mag to test it ,I will trade you you can keep all the extras I just want the gun I like the ones without the rail the older style is appealing to me. Im serious.

[@blakehill724]

I am looking to buy a Jericho 941 r currently and I have found several options and wanted to get your take on it because you have experience with it and I want to make sure that its the real deal and fits within my expectations.

[@tanner_miller]

KZbin turned off notifications for comments for some reason, so I never saw this. Let me know if you got one or if you are still hunting/have any questions.

[@joe6699]

Did a nice job cleaning it up it should have came like that when u bought it

[@roberta.6399]

I could use a 9 mm barrel and mag if you want to sell.

[@GaMeRfReAkLIVE]

Hey its ok my man im on the same mission to get a jericho for a spike kit

[@YoshioDodeca]

Thanks for sharing.

[@subwoofer6726]

Yeah sounds like that dude was shady as fuck and wanted to see if he could bullshit someone. Biggest red flag is when they are vague about things; "shot once" Bullshit no one just fires 1 bullet out of a new gun then its it for sale. When you showed those wear marks, that had to be the biggest indicator that guy was giving you the shaft because NO gun wears and scratches down that badly inside without some through use. Hell I probably wouldn't trust carrying that gun with how vague he was about it. Hell that was probably $300 or $250 at most for he condition he gave you.

[@italiatrash4940]

If I may give my 2 cents I think the slide release is from a different model than the one you bought, or it was replaced during the gun's lifetime I have the same gun you have, kbi imported, h3 marked, imi jericho 941, yet my slide release has a different shape to it, more polygonal. I am not really certain just wanted to let you know since they seem pretty much the same gun, I think mine is a bit older as far as serial but we are within a couple thousand numbers so, I don't think there should be differences in parts.

[@tanner_miller]

I think it is original. There isn't much information on the differences, but you can find GOBS of pictures of the 941 R with the same smooth slide release as mine. I feel like I generally see more of the railed, Baby Eagle, and frame-mounted safety versions with the more angular slide release, but I have also seen some of the Jericho branded, slide-mounted safety ones with it as well. Would be nice if we had some sort of database on the different models over the years and their minute differences.

[@italiatrash4940]

Yeah looking at it I can see it is an original part, thinking about it it is probably a variation that occurred very early during production since the more streamlined slide release that you have seems a lot more efficient to machine in large volumes than the more angular one which also looks a little longer. What leads me to believe that your gun did not have that in the beginning is that your slide release and your decocker have different finishes on them which I never saw, I usually see both of them having an entire different finish than the rest of the gun but not between each other. That said I could be 100% wrong of course, there are so many variations O.O

[@Gman941]

Looking back at this 2 years later, and I think you got a deal. Just saying

[@tanner_miller]

Everything was a deal two years ago compared to now. *sobs lightly*

[@masterk5066]

Shit I would've returned it or found a way to get my money back & bought a 941 F9 lol

[@Pyrosis22]

I would suggest selling some of your extra mags or even 41 ammo and just refinish a few of the controls. Its really not the full collector grade NIB kit but a show piece (because of that damn anime I'm always hearing about) so even cerakoting those parts would be acceptable.

[@tanner_miller]

That isn't a half bad idea. I got mine with the full intention of shooting it pretty often and enjoying it, so I probably wouldn't have paid for a NIB, just because I would have felt like an ass shooting it. I haven't really looked into .41 AE ammo much, but know it is discontinued and very uncommon. What is it going for these days?

[@Pyrosis22]

Not too sure but a pretty penny I bet even brass is valuable and all 41AE shooters that I know reload. Before you do gunbroker or ebay I'd join the Jericho 941 owners group on FB first and sell directly then you'd have the funds to do whatever to pretty up the gun as you like.

[@Zaku186]

Yea you got fucked. But not gonna lie i want one just because i love Cowboy Bebop to. Why couldn't have Spike carried a glock or something easy to get ahold of? Damn.

[@jasoncrowder2969]

By the way you can buy a NEW full sized polymer frame for around 500.... And around 600-650 for steel frame full sized.... Why? How? When? Would you pay that much for a previously owned firearm? I always buy things new (unless a vehicle) to essentially guarantee the well being of the item. I am sorry you went through issues or aren't satisfied because it is a great weapon

[@tanner_miller]

I could have easily bought a new one if it was only that platform I was interested in and not the legacy. Just have to think about it in terms of a collector's item: you can buy a new revolver for a couple hundred bucks or you can buy a curio Colt single action Army for thousands.

[@donovanchilton5817]

You've missed the point.

[@G0ZAR]

Fuk ya forget that baby eagle markings on the side. Wanted one since 2001 final got 1 in 2019 full size single action with no BS markings. Ugh love it

[@prankmonkeyxs650]

I live the gun for the same reason and I hope to get a imi 941 r before they are more impossible to find, but I wont go for the kit as spike only shot 9mm out of it to my knowledge and I guess I dont have the desire to store obsolete parts.

[@vincenthall8124]

The gun was shot alot due to finish wear

[@plugBONE]

Fast forward to today dec 26 2022 and I just bought one with an accessory rail for $560 😂

[@leocadena6844]

Clearly not new, gorgeous gun nevertheless. Just got my IWI Jericho 941R version of it and even though has some extras (picatinny rail) still think yours is a better looking one. Shoot it and enjoy it man!

[@alexk373]

What do you think about the new Jericho Enhanced?

[@tanner_miller]

Hadn't heard of it until you mentioned it. Looks like a CZ - what did they change on it?

[@alexk373]

More ergonomic polymer frame, removable back straps Frame safety.

[@stevelenox152]

U have a good reason to be picky about it it wasn't wat u were told id give him a bad rating for liying

[@tanner_miller]

I left a Google review fully explaining my experience a year ago or so. Is a shame we have to deal with shady people like that in the community - legal owners have enough opposition without having to worry about being shafted by people "on our side."

[@JohnDoe-kt9em]

He probably took it on one range trip and then racked and dry fired the fuck out of it for years

[@azrael1045]

my wife bought one of these without the 41ae option and just the 9mm option, full steel frame and she paid new $600 CAD total

[@tanner_miller]

Unless she bought it new a couple decades ago, she probably bought the newer version of the Jericho which was after IMI became IWI. ~$500 USD is the going rate for the new ones and 41AE is no longer an option since the round isn't manufactured any more.

[@yakamarezlife]

Its the steel frames that are pricey I got two in 1992 for about $800 and some change if I remember right I keep on in 9 the other in 41 and it's werid with the marks all my early ones have them

[@whitewolfO1]

I know this is a bit late, but you're a little unfair on the gun, likely because of inexperience. 1. That is most certainly excellent condition. 2. That purple coloration is not patina, it's how steel with a bit more nickle in it blues. You see it in a lot of eastern european guns on small parts. 3. Never EVER trust sellers round counts, but once fired typically means one range session to people who have actually shot guns. You don't shoot one round and put it away. Regardless, its fine. The gun will last tens of thousands of rounds with good care. 4. It's a production gun, not a custom shop deal. If it functions there's no reason to make internals look pretty in regards to your barrels. Plenty of guns have machining marks where they're not polished off or in non function impeding areas.

[@rorylapham6597]

if you really tried I bet you could do a great Spike Spiegel dub impersonation.

[@MrHigred]

The red hood from dc comics also duel wields modified Jericho‘s.

[@RC-lf3ie]

9 magazines? Yea that was shot alot more than once

[@jameshill2015]

Wow..l bought my Jericho full-size polymer w/ frame safety (no decocker) for around $675 w 2 mags..brand new. The first time l was made aware of Jericho at a range here in Miami, they had both steel frame and polymer..both rode hard and very used. The polymer w fingergrooves fit my hand like a glove..much better than the steel frame non-grooved grip for ME. Everyone's hands are different..the slide action on the steel felt a bit tighter and a lil bit smoother than the poly.. l figured the steel frame would have a smoother more crisp trigger than the poly but nothing could be further from the truth, the poly trigger was lighter, smoother and noticeably more crisp the the steel frame.. both being broken in l think it is simply that way for what ever reason with the Jericho.. l was not a fan of the extra weight of the steel frame so the poly was the logical choice for me. I own many pistols..most being CZs, Walthers and this IWI.. no Sig's and no Glocks by choice. My wife is GAGA over the Jericho..by FAR her favorite to shoot..she notices the lighter recoil and thinks it's the sexiest pistol on the planet.. l like it a lot..trust it like l trust my hammer...IT WORKS! a VERY well made, thought-out and finished weapon..too big to easily conceal, however should riots show up at my door it would certainly without thought be my "GO-TO" pistol of choice...the .41 express would be awesome but l have a PPQ.45 for the bigger caliber itch... Much easier finding .45acp than .41AE all day. No, l don't like forfeiting capacity either which is a give in .41....I highly recommend this pistol..l do..but a $$$$grand? Or more??? NO WAY... It is worth no more than $800 TOPS to me..it's the AK of pistols as far as reliability.. but while you can get a PPQ9mm for under a grand l just can't see the extra money being spent when it's not necessarily a better pistol...better looking sure to me.. the PPQ is a mutt, almost HighPoint looking but it's NO Highpoint! It's really a great pistol.. just my .....50¢ worth...sorry for your loss but still an informative video! I thank you Sir!

[@Illious101]

Once you use one. It's a wrap lol. I find them near me in Zephyrhills for like 4-6 all day long. I don't know why these people out here paying thousands.

[@jameshill2015]

Everything is nuts high right now..Jericho does not get any attention in America.. it's not known by many..it's worth twice what l paid.. let's a full size and their Compact ain't so compact it's a big boy too..but what a great pistol..

[@guessruffdiamond1264]

I just found one at a pawn shop for 400 lol

[@tinusvanderwesthuizen295]

Yeah. I got one that I have shot thousands of rounds through, I can take some pictures for you on wear. It does polish some areas on the barrel for instance. Is there a huge market for these or are you the only need? Lol.

[@tanner_miller]

Niche market I would say, not huge. But that does drive up the price. Unshot, full kits (ammo, case, barrels, etc.) go for $2,500 or so. The full kit in decent shape w/o ammo will still fetch you $1,000+ probably.

[@jxinx6812]

I bought one of these from Bud's a couple yrs ago for less than $300. It was in beautiful shape for an Israeli police trade in.
