The Jericho 941 R, chambered in 9x19mm Parabellum, is a semi-automatic pistol produced by Israel Weapon Industries (IWI). Known for its distinctive appearance, often compared to the CZ 75, this pistol features a steel frame, short-recoil operation, and a double-action/single-action trigger mechanism. Variants exist with different finishes, sights, and safety configurations.
This firearm holds a significant place in the history of IWI and has gained popularity globally for its reliability, durability, and accuracy. Its ergonomic design contributes to comfortable handling and reduced recoil, making it suitable for both experienced shooters and those new to firearms. The 9x19mm chambering offers readily available and relatively inexpensive ammunition, further enhancing its practicality. Initially adopted by military and law enforcement agencies, its reputation for performance has led to increasing civilian ownership for self-defense and sport shooting.
