Jericho 941
The veteran Israeli pistol, in service here for decades. An old-school hammer-fired DA/SA action and a steel frame weighing a full kilogram in the full-size version — which makes it exceptionally soft-shooting. Anyone who started on a Jericho in the army or on guard duty will recognize it instantly, and that's a real consideration.
What's good about it
- The weight tames recoil — easy to shoot well
- Well-known and proven in Israel, with service and parts readily available
- Low price relative to build quality
What's less good
- Very heavy in the steel version — hard to carry daily
- Not optics-ready
- DA/SA action with a manual safety that requires dedicated training

How to mount an optic on it
The Jericho 941 has no factory optic cut, which is true of most pistols in Israel. There are two routes: milling the slide at a gunsmith, which costs more and is irreversible but sits the optic low; or an adapter that replaces the rear sight, which is cheap and reversible but sits it higher. These are the optics that mount without milling.
