Description
The IWI Jericho 941 Enhanced Polymer Side Pistol 9mm 3.8 Black 17 rd is a modern evolution of a proven combat platform, built on the time-tested CZ-75 short recoil system. Chambered in 9mm with a 3.8-inch barrel, this black polymer-framed pistol delivers a crisp single-action trigger pull and a smooth double-action first shot, all while offering a frame-mounted safety for cocked-and-locked carry. Each Jericho Enhanced ships with two 17-round magazines, making it a serious choice for defensive or recreational shooting.

Who It’s For
This pistol is built for the southern shooter who values reliability and simplicity. Whether you’re a bird hunter who wants a sidearm for the dove field, a competitive shooter in IDPA or USPSA, or a concealed carrier who insists on a manual safety, the Jericho Enhanced fits the bill. It’s also a great option for anyone who appreciates the CZ-75 lineage but wants a modern polymer frame with rail compatibility.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Proven CZ-75 short recoil system delivers outstanding accuracy and reliability right from the factory.
- Pro: Comes with two 17-round magazines – a real value compared to many competitors that include only one.
- Con: The trigger has a bit of take-up in single-action mode, which some shooters may prefer to address with an aftermarket trigger job.
