I bought a Jericho today!

[nwilliams]

I've always been a big fan of Israeli guns so today I just couldn't resist buying a Baby Eagle. I've been wanting a Jericho for a long time, it just fits my hand so well and they are just so damn attractive (IMHO)! The trigger is excellent and although it's a bit heavy that doesn't really bother me since I don't plan on carrying it very often, it's going to be a range toy more than anything else. One thing that makes me very happy about finding this gun is that it's an older model imported by Magnum Research, so no rail! Personally I think the newer Jericho's with the rail don't look quite as elegant.

It's used but it looks practically new and came with two hi cap mags, original plastic case, paperwork, factory spent shell casing and even a window decal. For $399 I figured it was too good a deal to pass up. Oh and it's in .40 if you are wondering.


Anyway here are some pics....

Range report?

Well it looks like my Springfield P9 is pretty compatible with my Baby Eagle.


The mags are interchangeable and the slide from the Baby Eagle will fit the frame of the P9 but not the other way around. Of course with the BE slide on the P9 the frame safety will work but the decocker/safety on the slide won't. Wonder how many other parts are interchangeable.

Interesting but I don't plan to shoot it this way.

Nice pistol, must agree that it looks much better without a rail.

That is a sweet gun, actually the P9 is pretty damm nice too. Please post a range report when you get to try it out.

It must not be very old, because the grip panels have the IWI logo instead of IMI. I don't know exactly when they changed the logo, but I have one of each and they are awesome guns.

And yes, they look way better without the rail!

would love one. my pcr is great, but i'm already looking at more cz and cz clones.

how are the grips if you could compare them to a cz 75 compact?

wonder what one would look like hard chromed

I had the old original Jehrico 941 kit, the old plastic briefcase with the 9mm and 41 AE conversions.

Great shooting gun in 9mm, heavy but solid and well built.

In 41AE the guns was actually not as fun to shoot, lots of pop and snap with that round. I was made an offer I could not refuse to a 41AE supporter...wonder how that's working out for him now? Hope he reloads.

Great gun

A CZ clone, which is a compliment not an insult. I considered buying one after shooting it. A sturdy tack driver. I went with the CZ only because it fit my smaller hands better.

The Israelis don't mess around when it comes to weapons! Enjoy.
