I read in SOF magazine that the Israeli Border Police pistol is the Jericho 941F.

Does anyone know anything about this gun?

I would think it was good due to the fact that the Israelis probably get in lots of fire fights and would want a reliable weapon?

Thanks

Not a clue but I know someone who does...maybe he'll stop buy and give you an educated answer

Didn't IMI market a version of this gun as the "Baby Eagle" a few years back? It looks a little like the Bren Ten. The "Baby Eagle" was available in 9x19, .40S&W, and .41AE.

The Israeli police and Border patrol are issued IMI Jericho single action in Hard Chrome and will soon get a newer version with a polymer frame and accessory rails. Some of the guys chose to keep the Browning hi powers and the HRT unit uses glock 19c with mepro sights (red front/ narrow).

Choosing of the IMI had nothing to do with which was better, only politics where involved.

I have shot the police IMI Jericho and it is a pretty comfortable gun and handles well.

It isn’t manufactured by IMI but in Europe as an OEM for IMI, I don’t remember which country in Europe but they also manufacture the BUL M5 and Storm polymer frames.

Hope this helps,

I believe it is Tangfolio of Italy that makes the frames and slides for IMI. Final assembly is done in Israel.

Yes, Tanfoglio is the maker of the major parts; the Jericho is mechanically a CZ clone like the Witness, but with styling changes. I have read that IMI made their own barrels, though.

It has "Get the original, nicer CZ-75B" written all over it. :grin:
