Jericho 941 polymer frame vs steel frame

[@xxheartbrokexx100]

Steel Jericho in .45 is my favorite handgun of all time I'm never getting rid of it or buying another pistol. I don't need anything else.

[@frederickgiordani6717]

I have the 941 steel in 9mm 16 rounds fantastic pistol

[@jay-dee5.562]

I found this gun at a pawn shop. It was brand new, never been fired and I got it for $400. It's the .40 polymer compact version with the 4" barrel. I've put about 1000 rounds through it in the last month or so and its an absolute dream to shoot. No FTF at all and I've tried the garbage ammunition just to test (TulAmmo, cheap reloads).I love it so much I'm going to buy the 9mm.

[@alastor8091]

Lucky son of a gun. I'm buying one in a week and that baby is $650. Damn I wish I was born just a few years earlier.

[@skvetny]

Jericho guns are in vast use here in Israel, all over the law enforcment forces including the army, the police, the border patrol police and also the prison service. Beyond that, many other privet security companies equip their guards with the Jericho, I worked for half a year as a school guard during my college studies as a side job, and I had a CZ-75 and the Jericho for most of my time there. the Glock-17 is also very popular here because of it's simplicity and accuracy.

[@antil1971]

skvetny which one you prefer - cz 75 or 941 ?

[@mikes1172]

I have an all-steel frame 941F, pre-2009 version, no rail and I love it. I've refinished it with cerakote and night sights and I have a great small of the back holster to carry it. I own quite a few pistols, certainly pistols more expensive and I love this gun. I would gladly sell my Glock and likely a few other pistols to buy more of these. I'm a CZ owner as well, but this gun is simply awesome! If people realized how great these are, they would see what a real pistol is all about. By the way I have a Beretta M9 as well and this gun is just better all around.

I have a Jericho 941 steel 9mm. It is truly a beautiful firearm

[@jameshill2015]

There really is too much emphasis put on an "audible reset" throughout the gun world. Lets face it..if you are at the range you have hearing protection on.. and likely not gonna hear it .. and if you are in a situation where you are not in the range chances are better than not, your not going to have hearing protection on and after that first round goes off you REALLY are not gonna hear the click of a reset.. it is in the feel on the reset.. and I would bet a bagel that you feel the steel jerichos reset just fine! I own the polymer 9mm it is as he describes.. Simply an amazing pistol! Its big.. Make no mistake.. Its not an everyday carry for those that conceal inside the waistband by people under 200lbs.. I love the pistol however after owning a CZp10 for my edc.. the jericho may be soon relpaced with a CZ Shadow 2 for my nightstand-target range pistol.. Like the Jericho you will not find one in every gun store but if I like it when I find it.. It may be replaced by CZ. I have NO complaint on the Jericho.. It is likely the best " go to war" pistol on the market. Im just wanting the Shadow2 for the extra weight and range ability. Just my 2cents..

[@alexk373]

What do you think about the new Jericho Enhanced?

[@MystisNykoto]

I've got the fullsize steel and it's my favorite pistol, looking to grab a polymer subcompact for EDC

[@jrtortellini2540]

I'm a Beretta guy too and I been wanting the Jericho .

[@darink300zx]

Nice video. I'm a big fan of the Jericho and have one in 9mm, the 941f. Something you may not be aware though, as I wasn't until reading about it on a forum, is that the safety/decocker is also the firing pin block. This means if you did carry it with one in the chamber you'd want to carry it with the safety engaged. This is why the Israelis carry it with empty chamber. Again, nice video though.

[@frankgonzalez3822]

I purchased an IWI Jericho 941F single action only. It is extremely accurate. I do think it needs a new recoil spring Trying to find in the USA

[@botchreloj728]

were can i buy a new polymer frame for my jericho 941 psl mid_size

[@_WELDR_]

I will have to agree with you on the accuracy!! I have owned a lot of guns and this gun I always tell people I could shoot a quarter at 50 yards and hit it every time !! They are the best I think !!

[@MJM804]

The barrels on these are hard chrome finish, not stainless steel.

[@kzat99]

thanks for the vid. The hole on the backstrap of the polymer facilitates a shoulder stock, I'm pretty sure. Put a grip on the rail and add a stock & you've got a real hot rod! Unfortunately, here, it's illegal unless you jump through a bunch of regulation hoops. I want one of these bad in 9mm.

[@vkyle91x]

Yeah that's the nice thing with Canada we don't have to deal with an SBR or tax stamp or anything like that, and I fully plan to buy the 9mm Jericho very soon

[@heldenkatze]

are the mags and slide interchangeable?

[@Greatoneguy]

Great video again. One question I was wondering how do you find racking the slide with the inside rails as compared to Beretta m9? Thanks

[@vkyle91x]

That is a good question, I don't find it too difficult but I definitely need to be a little more deliberate with where I put my hands when racking the pistol

[@trains4one]

I'd like to know what year your weapons are. I just purchased a new Jericho 941 on direct import by IWI and it does not have the frame mounted safety/decocker. Straight safety on the side is all.

[@brookejohnson9129]

Mine just has just the safety as well, I have a polymer frame . 40

[@djarnoldo516]

So glad you made this comparison video; I have been puzzling over which to get. One important thing you didnt discuss at all is the weight. The F9 full size steel pistol weighs 37 oz unloaded, while the PL9 polymer weighs 28 oz. The F9 is a brick; not worth carrying all that weight. I also dont like the slide mounted decocker; the new PL9s have a frame mounted safety like a 1911 for cocked and locked carry. My bottom line: if you want a steel range gun, get the F9. For carry, get the PL9 with the frame safety.

[@brookejohnson9129]

I just don't trust the hammer cocked to rely on the safety, but other than that great gun. I know I can "decock" It myself and keep one Chambered but that's not great safety practices either.

[@adammorey-ug8bg]

Can you change out the polymer frame to a steel frame or do you have to buy a whole new gun

[@winniechen7949]

can they use the same holster?

[@gregbutler6851]

Why so accurate? It's because the steel frame is heavy. My 9mm is heavier than most 1911's. It lays in on the target with very little felt recoil. The SP01 and the Jericho is damn near the same pistol in weight/sights/ shoot-ablity etc. But I find myself shooting the Jericho more than my other CZ's.

[@brookejohnson9129]

I think it is because the slide sits inside the frame like a cz75 is part of the accuracy.

[@countrylife8347]

Forged or cast

[@dmill6103]

i cant really tell all that well but whats the thickness like on the frames of the steel vs polymer? im not sure if the .40 model would have a size difference just because of the caliber or not but yeah, thanks for the video none the less :)

[@RedEyePergo]

its not a 941 if it shoots anything but 9mm or 41AE

[@partriarch]

I have an older all steel model of the 941, when it was called the "Uzi Eagle", in .40 S&W caliber. It is one of the most accurate semi-auto pistols I have in my gunsafe. I once hit a coyote at 60 meters with it, using a car top as a steady rest. It doesn't have the audible or tactile "trigger reset", but that is not important to me. It works when I want it to. It came with "Trijicon" type night sights already installed on it. The sights are now starting to get dim because I've owned it for over 20 years, and they need to be replaced someday if I use it for night work. I love it. >>> P.S., Mine doesn't have accessory rails on the steel frame. The barrel on mine also has polygonal rifling. No lands and grooves to collect brass or lead shavings.

[@respectthefact5476]

Cz75 stile pistols the best !

[@vkyle91x]

*style

[@Eman1072]

I wish I could find a full size steel Jericho in 40. They're so rare

[@cd4playa1245]

These are basically the same thing as Baby Desert Eagles, right? I'm thinking about getting the Baby DE 3 soon.

[@vkyle91x]

Kyle Rainer same thing different name basically

[@moonshadow1372]

soetded

[@BIGBOSS9545]

From what I seen, same gun, different looks, not extremely obvious but noticeable

[@3diott]

Nice review btw. but quick question. on the polymer version I noticed my slide to frame fit has loosened up. but not side to side, more like up and down. Has yours done that as well? seems to be more towards the end of the handgun.

[@vkyle91x]

Can't say I have noticed anything to that nature

[@brookejohnson9129]

Depends how much movement, I would say mine has maybe a mm of up/down up front, not really noticeable, possibly just normal but if you have a lot I would check it for safety purposes.

[@starksinc1]

what is better... the steel frame or the polymer?

[@vkyle91x]

starksinc1 personally I prefer the polymer

[@starksinc1]

vkyle91x why... I'm concerned about a blowout like other polymers.... glocks..springfield...which i had happen the other day.

[@vkyle91x]

starksinc1 just curious were you using handloads? 9 times out of 10 it's a double charged rounds that causes things like that. I don't personally handload so I don't really have any fears of reloads. That being said I've had a Glock 34 explode on me and I was a little sore but aside from that I was fine

[@pedropacheco5163]

Man I love the steel, I have one exactly the same model but not with the decoker safety. Also I have 2 Baby Eagle twins 9mm Semi-Compact mid-size polymer gen 1. One of them is 15yrs old and the other twin is 14 yrs old. I'm the 2nd owner. They still fire like a beauty. Where can I get the upper receiver slide with the decoker safety for my Jericho 941 FS .45ACP?

[@paulomolina4723]

I am getting a 9mm polymer one.. is it a good choice? a lot tell me the all steel model is a bettter choice because the polymer jericho is prone to jamming.

[@vkyle91x]

Gixxer Gixxer 9mm is a great choice. And my .40 has not had any issues past its break in period. I wouldn't believe in the nonsense that the steel frame is better than the polymer frame

[@paulomolina4723]

thanks sir.. I like your response.. because I already paid for it so it better be good =) have a nice day

[@jay-dee5.562]

Great review btw. Thanks👍🏽

[@MrPlaidFace]

Will the luger 9mm round work in any if these guns?

[@vkyle91x]

Not these ones specifically, but they do make both models in a 9mm

[@MrPlaidFace]

+vkyle91x i was just wondering because i just ordered a jericho 9mm and was wondering if my luger 9mm will work with this hand gun

[@vkyle91x]

+Guided Hand as far as I am aware it should be just fine

[@MrPlaidFace]

+vkyle91x thanks :)

[@theshapeexists]

+Guided Hand 9x19 is 9mm luger.

[@cd4playa1245]

Are these still holding up reliably for you?

[@vkyle91x]

Kyle Rainer they sure are, haven't much any issues past what would be called a break in period

[@cd4playa1245]

that's good to know. Thank you. I guess the only real negative is that they're made of carbon steel instead of stainless, but I personally would keep one in my home primarily, except for when I'd take it to the range. I wouldn't want to carry around something that heavy, but I feel this is exactly what I'd want next to my bed at night, in case of a break in.

[@vkyle91x]

Kyle Rainer my .45 Jerico replaced my Glock 21 as my HD pistol

[@cd4playa1245]

Yeah Glocks feel good in my hand, but I've seen other videos on here exposing the limp-wristing susceptibility in Glocks, and that kinda scares me away from buying one. He tried the same test with a few other guns, a Sig included, and he couldn't induce a stovepipe malfunction. I was about to get a 7 round S and W 686 revolver and put 38special in it for HD, because then at least you know you'll have that reliability, but if a Jericho/Baby DE is almost just as reliable, and has over double the ammo, then I'll probably go with one of these. Apparently 357 mag isn't the best idea for home defense for multiple reasons, which is why I'm looking into a 9mm.

[@vkyle91x]

Best advice is take the Jericho, clean and lube it on occasion and I promise you that gun will never fail you

[@countrylife8347]

Can you shoot reloads

[@vkyle91x]

country life I don’t shoot reloads

[@jdogg6023]

how much $$ and how many does it hold

[@vkyle91x]

The .45 was $600 ish and holds 10 rounds, the .40 with the range kit was $650 and generally holds 12 rounds in unrestricted states.. In Canada it only holds 10 rounds

[@astrofrk]

Bought a Jericho 941 PL in June in Tennessee. For shipping and background check it set me back about $525 total. Mine is in 9mm and holds 16+1. I was not disappointed.

[@astrofrk]

I have been studying the Jericho 941 since 2009. I looked but never seen one in any gun store or show. So at the time, I bought the Glock 19 and a Glock 34 a year later that I tricked out. I got tired of looking for the Jericho, so last week I ordered one in polymer, full size in 9mm. It became too much of an obsession for me not to buy that gun even though I have yet to even see one, much less hold one. I hope I get the accessories you mentioned because this is not an easy gun for accessories and Glock spoiled me in that department.

[@vkyle91x]

I can't say what you'll get with yours but I can promise that you won't regret buying it once you've handled and shot it

[@astrofrk]

My Glock 19 still rules on concealed carry (even if I had bought the Jericho compact) but the Jericho should be good for home defense. If I ever go open carry (I have carried concealed with a permit since 2003), it might be good IF I can find a secure holster and night sights. I have always carried concealed for tactical reasons but with Orlando and all, I'm thinking about going open at a gun rights protest. It will be nice to have something unusual after owning 2 Glocks and 2 1911's before then.

[@Whatisright]

This is one of those guns that any random gun store "might" have. I ordered mine online. Like yours it's a full sized polymer 9mm. And since it's at times a hard find in stores you'll find it's the same problem for holsters and accessories. However, being variant of the CZ a lot of those accessories may work. I can tell you that the mags do. If you can't find a Jericho holster you can always try out EA Witness holsters or regular CZ holsters. Thinking of getting another Jericho now. 9mm compact, but all steel.

[@astrofrk]

I just need some night sights and it should be good to go.

[@Whatisright]

You can find those easy enough. Again look for one for CZ's. Easy find online.

[@cesnapilot]

I can't say from personal experience, but looking around youtube there are plenty of folks who don't like the Tavor.

[@vkyle91x]

It's all personal preference! Some people just don't like the bulpup design

[@poindexter1387]

[@NDB-Semper]

Nice video and very informative, thank you. As a Texan I just wanted to know the gun buying/using process for our friends up north. How do gun owners up there defend their right to own and operate fire arms? Will this most recent mandate by Trudeau (in light of the horrific and unfortunate terror attack) severely and legally affect y'all?

[@vkyle91x]

To keep it simple we have no right, if the government decides we can’t have it that’s what they can do. We are challenging the new laws they put into place in court but that’s about the extent of what we can do

WTF is a C-Zed 75? its a CZ-75 not a C Zed

[@jeffm7669]

Hanz Flefowitz the newest iwi 941 is frame mounted safety...

[@brookejohnson9129]

What don't you like about slide mount for safety? Just curious because U have never owned a gun with it on the slide, my Jericho just has a frame mounted safety, no decocker.

[@beardedvegan6823]

@Brooke Johnson, in the R model Jerichos, the safety/decocker also acts as the firing pin block. The biggest issue people have is that you can unintentionally engage the safety when racking the slide.
