Description
The IWI Jericho 941 Enhanced Polymer Side Pistol 9mm 4.4 Black 17 rd. is a workhorse that blends a proven CZ-75 short recoil system with modern features like an adjustable backstrap and a Picatinny rail. You get a frame-mounted safety for cocked-and-locked carry or hammer-down double action, and it ships with two standard-capacity 17-round magazines. At $560.6, this is a lot of pistol for your money.

Key Features
- Adjustable backstraps — lets you dial in the grip size for your hand, improving control and comfort right out of the box.
- Mil-STD 1913 Picatinny front rail — mount a light or laser without needing an adapter, making it ready for home defense or duty use.
- Frame-mounted safety — enables Condition One carry (cocked and locked) for a crisp single action first shot, or hammer down for a heavier double action pull.
- Novak-style sights — three-dot sight picture with a clean rear notch, giving you a fast, repeatable sight alignment in varied lighting.
- Redesigned hammer and trigger profiles — smoother trigger pull and a hammer that’s less likely to snag on clothing during a draw.
Who It’s For
This pistol is perfect for shooters who want a reliable, full-size 9mm for home defense, range practice, or competition. It’s also a great choice for anyone who likes the CZ-75 platform but wants a polymer frame to cut weight. New gun owners will appreciate the adjustable grip and straightforward manual of arms.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Affordable price for a duty-grade handgun with a proven action.
- Pro: Comes with two 17-round magazines — no need to buy extras right away.
- Con: The trigger has a bit of take-up and grit out of the box; a few hundred rounds or a trigger job will smooth it out.

- Con: Aftermarket holster and part support is thinner than for a Glock or Sig, but it’s growing.

FAQ
What’s the difference between the Jericho 941 Enhanced and the standard Jericho?
The Enhanced model swaps the steel frame for a polymer one, adds an adjustable backstrap, a Picatinny rail, and redesigned hammer and trigger. It’s lighter and more ergonomic than the all-steel version.
Does this pistol have a safety?
Yes — a frame-mounted ambidextrous safety that lets you carry cocked and locked (single action) or hammer down (double action). It’s not a manual safety on a Glock-style trigger; it’s a true 1911-style safety.
Can I mount a red dot on this slide?
Out of the box, the slide is not optic-cut. You’ll need to send it to a machine shop for milling or use a dovetail mount. The steel slide is plenty strong for optic cuts.
What holsters fit the Jericho 941 Enhanced Polymer?
Because the Enhanced has a Picatinny rail and a different trigger guard profile, you’ll need a holster specifically for the Jericho 941 Polymer or a universal light-bearing holster. IWB options are limited but available from a few makers.
Is this gun good for a left-handed shooter?
Yes — the safety is ambidextrous, and the slide stop is reachable from either side. The magazine release is reversible.
