- We had to take a double take at the counter when we stumbled across this hunk of steel in the gun cabinet.
We really hope you enjoyed our honest review of this firearm and if you have any pistols you want to see reviewed let us know in the comments below!

The barrel is chrome moly vanadium steel and it is chromed. It also has polygonal rifling. These are very high quality in all areas where it really matters.
I love it for sure I just wish the sights weren’t 25mm sights.
@@GSquaredTactical Are there any replacement sights??
Yeah Meprolight makes some and I think a few others. Optics Planet had them in stock at one point in time. Thanks for watching and commenting and be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already.
@@GSquaredTacticalwhat do you mean 25mm?
They are sighted at 25 meters.
Basically they are sighted for POI at a further distance. If you shoot at 7, 10 or 12 yards you will be off. Mine it to 20-25 yards you’ll be right on it. Thanks for watching and commenting and be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already
Purchased one a couple months ago solid gun. The safety is soft without a bullet in the chamber with a bullet in the chamber there is a noticeable increase in stiffness. If you want to change the sights they are Novak cut. Highly recommend especially if you are looking for a full size, high quality gun on a budget. Also out of curiosity I owb carried it all winter and it was just as comfortable as my Walter PPS M2 compact. Holster is a Orpaz brand
I haven’t heard of Orpaz I’ll check them out. Hey thanks a lot for watching and taking the time to comment. Please be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already. Thanks again
@@GSquaredTactical your welcome
I wrote IWI to ask about the finish on the Jericho 941. They replied that it's "proprietary". I asked if there are some cleaning "don't do's". They said to clean exterior with a cleaning oil and not to use mineral spirits.
My best guess is the finish on the 941 is a high quality parkerized finish. The metal finish is super smooth and I really like how it feels. I've had no issues with it,, no corrosion etc. I oil it and wipe it dry. I think this Jericho Enhanced has the same parkerized finish on its slide.
The machining and finish is impeccable
One of the best looking hammer fired guns IMHO. I love my Sigs but I may have to add this to the group.
If I could find a different set of sights for it I’d love it even more. I don’t know why but there’s a special place for it in my collection. I love it!!

@@GSquaredTactical it’s actually the first video I’ve seen of your guys channel, but I did subscribe. Yeah, hopefully there’s another option for sights for us Americans lol.
I sure hope so. I’ve been looking for a set. Let me know if you find anything
Springfield EMP4 sights regulated at 25 yards like the Jericho and Masada pistols. Basically, either "dot the I" for distance or obscure the target when shooting closer in.
I've heard more than a few people say that longer range zeros cause low shot placement at close range but that makes no sense to me.
If you are impacting low with proper sight alignment that tells me that the muzzle is pointing below the sight axis of your irons, assuming the shooter themselves is not causing the issue, or an it's ammo issue. If you are having to raise the front post over the top of your rear sights to hit at close range that tells me that the muzzle is now pointing over the (now modified) sight axis of your irons. The bullet trajectory only drops once it leaves the muzzle, at no point should it rise mid flight over the bore axis line of the muzzle itself. So if you are hitting very low at close range, at no point is the bullet going to rise to meet the target at extended ranges. It's only going to drop from there.
Any time I've ever seen low shot placement, it's either shooter induced, or ammo, or the front sight is too tall.
Thanks for the info and your thoughts on the matter
Yep
Good one, yes I have used these in the services and yes, in Israel we do use them ar longer ranges.
Found them to be comfortable, easy and easy to get used to. That said we did have FNs, Berettas and others that I have forgotten. Liked these and the newer Masada line - worth a checkup.
Thanks for watching, please subscribe if you haven’t already and thanks for sharing your story!
Great review and pistol. I have narrowed my .45 acp selections to the Sar K2 , Sig 227 , CZ 97 and now the pistol. I carry a Glock 30 FS .45 acp and the pistol is perfect for EDC, Bear Woods or Home Defense. I am from a 1911 background and still love my .45acps.
Great review again. Really appreciate the objective view of the weapon and integrity. You've added to my confusion lol. Just kidding, it is nice to live in an society that we have soo many choices.
Semper Fi
Keep up the Good Work!
If CZ would put a rail on the 97 I’d buy it tomorrow no matter the price. I’ve wanted that gun for sometime but I know it’ll be a night stand or truck gun in which case I need a light. At one time the G30 is all I ever carried. Now I carry a Glock 36. Thanks for watching and commenting and be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already
Own both a cz 75 sp01 and just picked up the Jericho II. And honestly, they are neck and neck. They both shoot laser beam accurate. And both are made with the utmost quality. Trade deals and imports with Isreal are much less in taxes than other countries because they are one of our closest allies. So they can drop the price a bit and still make good profit because of that. Anyway...after that rant. I can tell you the Jericho II is top quality in every way. You feel like your holding a badass, superprb quality firearm in all the attention to details on this gun! Great controls too. Very good steel and very sturdy slide lock. Perfectly placed too. And again, accuracy is stunning on this gun, probably the polygonal rifling. And there is just something sexy about that slanted front of frame and barrel is sexy and unique. Like I said. One isn't better than the other. They are almost one and the same internally. Both are 2 of the best 9mm pistols ever made. I can hit coke cans at 75 yards with both. It really is a badass gem of a gun that flies under the radar
When we first started finding out about CZ all we could do was talk about how amazing they were. Rare if ever misfires or mishaps when operating them, and then we came across the Jericho and others. Needless to say 2021 will have to include a second look at other firearms of the like. We were definitely impressed, not so much to say they are better than Glock (CZ), but for that to even be in the conversation is saying something! Better than Glock as far as reliability and mishaps are concerned
I (Gene) am not brand loyal, but if you forced me to be it would definitely be a CZ hands down no question namely the CZP09. God I love that gun. I haven’t toyed with or shot the Jericho enough to say it’s better or worse, but I was definitely drawn to it because of its CZ type characteristics.

Have an old surplus Jericho that I think is from the 90's, and looking to try one these new ones. Cool thing is, being a Tanfoglio based CZ derivative, CZ mags work in these. Great review!
Thanks for watching and commenting it means a lot. Be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already. Thanks again
The first gun i ever shot was the original steel frame IMI Jericho 941R and I feel the exact same way. The original Jericho had a slide mounted safety with 2 usable slide serrations. The improvements of the Jericho Enhanced seems like major upgrades for me and I can't wait to purchase one once I save up enough money.
Thanks for watching and happy shopping
Which cz mags??
The CZ SP01 mags
Love this handgun. Pretty accurate 👍
Yea sir it’s a classic
I own this, very accurate review. Well done
Ty sir and thanks for watching
Personally i think they are a badass looking weapon...love the looks of the full sized Baby Eagle...and they feel great in the hand..for the price point of around $700 tops...im in.. just bought an HK USP 9MM that was an instant love affair...great pistols. Ive had my eye these Jericos for quite awhile now also
We have thought about picking up a Usp 9, we have a 45 but not the 9. Have you had the chance to shoot it yet?
@@GSquaredTactical yes i just got the USP 4 days ago...fired 2 mags through it so far...i know it needs breaking in because its brand new, but It was feeling very nice...very smooth operator...the recoil system on the HKs works great, and makes them a pleasure to fire
Thanks for the intel! Definitely makes us consider it more highly. Thanks for watching and please sub up if you haven’t already
@@GSquaredTactical indeed sir
In the late 90’s I owned both a H&K USP 40 full size and a Magnum Research “Baby Eagle” .45. Came on some bad times in the early 2000’s, had to sell some guitars and guns. In picking out a few guns, it killed me to pick out the baby eagle. I knew I would have a hard time replacing the H&K as they were going up in price. The baby eagles were holding value, but not going up.
Fast forward to 1/22/2023, I was finally able to replace my IMI Jericho with a IWI Jericho II in 9mm. Got the 3.8” barrel version. Very happy with this hand gun. Typical build quality for an Israeli tool.
I'm pretty sure you could drop it to a "half cock" position like you can on the 941...but yes, there is no decock lever. It also has a firing pin block that is defeated when trigger is pulled, so carry cocked and locked is better than trying to drop the hammer all the way down manually to decock on top of a live round.
Yes sir
Great reciew. Planning on buying one this week. I will have to check out the safety but imagine I will carry cocked and locked depending on safety and how smooth and how accurate I am with double Acton trigger. I carry a Ruger p85 and have to use its double action trigger which I think us awful!
Awesome man let us know how you like it. Thanks for watching and commenting and be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already
Nice review. Very basic straightforward
I am so sick of seeing all these wannabes who never even served doing there run in gun geardo bs.
Great review, spot on on the profile on the slide and the 25 meter sights.
Thank you sir and thanks for watching and commenting and be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already. Thanks again
I have the standard Jericho 941 full size all steel and the sights are exactly the same with the gun advertised as having a 25 meter zero with hot ammo. Although with that said. With the standard sight setup the gun should shoot high at closer ranges to compensate for drop at the extended ranges. My gun for example prints about 2 inches high at 10 yards but is on at 30 yards.
I'm not sure why the Israeli's like extending pistol zeros beyond what they'll practically be used at but it's what they like doing. Another more extreme example would be the IMI/IWI produced Desert Eagles. Those guns were zeroed for 100 meters from the factory. In fact mine prints about 6 inches high still at 100 yards.
Good information thanks for watching and commenting and be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already.
I have been collecting cz and cz clones recently and this one intrigued me when I saw it for sale at the range the other day. Came across one at local pawnshop today with the longer barrel and priced $170 cheaper. Had to put it on layaway.
Sweet let us know how you like it
@@GSquaredTacticalpicked it up recently and put 100 rounds through it. I didn't really notice an issue with sights that I keep hearing about. I primarily shoot all my handguns at 7 yards though. Found the recoil impulse to be incredibly smooth. Far more impressed with it than I expected. It is a good thing I haven't shot the CZ that I bought before it yet. That thing might make all other guns seem like garbage 🤷♂️
Absolutely the CZ will make everything look like garbage.
I own the Jericho 2 as well and love it. Another cool cz clone you might like is the rock island armory mapp 9mm.
I will check that out never heard of it. Thanks for watching and commenting and please be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already
Another thing I really like is the Jericho.. Sar Arms..tanfoglio witness..Cz 75 magazines are all interchangeable ...
That’s always a plus
Sphinx sdp and B&T MK ii are also compatible.
Thanks for the info guys and please be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already
Ditto, always been a CZ fan since 2004.
Yes sir
These are wonderful pistols. They have been around since 2017 . I think that they are only now being imported into the US.
Mainly Used in Mexico against the Cartels and in South America.

I think these are new to the US market, but I saw these on some videos from the Philippines a year or two ago. Here these are called "Jericho Enhanced" but overseas they call it "Jericho II" I love the 941 FS9 and I'm anxious to get at least one of these.
@@duck-n-cover477 They use the same magazines as the previous Jericho so if you do get a older on you should be able to interchange magazines with them.
Correction … I believe the reference in the video to the sights on the Jericho Enhanced (set at the factory at 25 millimeters) is really meant to be said at 25 meters 👍🏻👍🏻
Possibly I was repeating what the counter man said but honestly most of them don’t know what they think they do. Thanks for the info and for watching. Please be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already
IWI makes impressive products.
They are nice but “IF” I was brand loyal it would be to CZ. I freaking love CZ’s
I shot mine today at 25 yards and it had an amazing group
Yes sir factory sights are set up for that type of longer shots. Thanks for watching and commenting and please be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already
The Masada also shoots low according to several CZcams people Hickok 45 and Ava flannel to name some.
Yes if you’re not shooting at 25 yards you will 100% be low. That’s why I put a reflex on it the day after I had it at the range. It has 25mm sights on it which is roughly 25 yards and not to many people are practicing at that range or can see a target at that range.
Love this Gun with the 33 rd clip
That’s a lot of rounds lol
What mag?
Nice handgun 🤜🤛

I wish it had slide cut for an optic.
That one be awesome but more difficult with how the top of slide is made but certainly doable as they’ve done it to the beretta 92. Thanks for watching and commenting and please be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already
Lot's of confusion on CZ Clones. Keep in mind that you could buy an FIE Tanfoglio TZ75 long before you could buy a CZ75 in the US. IWI changed the styling a bit, but for many years the parts for the "Jerichos" came from Tanfoglio in Italy and were assembled in Israel. A couple of Turkish cloners were on top of the Clone Game, but when Canik started having success with the TP9 series, they dropped manufacturing of their CZ clones. Sarsilmaz thru SAR USA may do the same which kind of points to the logic, or lack thereof, of these Turk brands. They advertise all kinds of hype with terms like NATO and ISO etc. All fine and dandy until you get to meet their US Importer firsthand, where CS means bob and weave and buyer pays shipping both ways. Tanfoglio shed themselves from EAA for the same reason. IWI, might be better, but I have NO experience with them. CZ USA bought a sizable tract of land on the east side of Little Rock, AR. for a US Manufacturing plant. Before construction started, they bought Colt and there is no plant in AR. CZ has had some unfortunate failures by trying to cut costs. Maybe their MIM technology has improved, but the one thing the Turks did right with their CZ/Tanfo Clones was to use all-forged steel parts. While they maybe impressed with themselves, CZ is not SIG, Walther nor the overrated HIK. This is all unfortunate, because the best CZ is not a CZ. It's a Tanfoglio. Now sold thru their US Importer: Italian Firearms Group . . . with a very favorable exchange rate for the EURO . . . meaning price is higher than it should be.
We’ve had nothing but 100% flawless service from the over 25 CZ’s we have owned and that’s current not counting ones we’ve sold. Until our experience proves otherwise our opinions haven’t changed about the brand. Thanks for watching and commenting and please be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already

Just as a PSA, I picked one of these up and they do not fit the older Jericho 941 holsters well. You can jam it in but there is too much friction on the draw. On the bright side all my CZ-75 mags work in it properly.
Sweet congrats on the purchase. This is our first Jericho. Thanks for watching and commenting and be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already
Just bought mine today. Can’t wait to train on this Jericho 2 (enhanced). Great video.

I have the Jericho 941 PL9, as in Polymer and it has been around for a few years. The only difference between what I have and the "Enhanced Jericho" is it doesn't have the serrations on the front or the variable backstraps. The Israeli's chamber a round when needed using the "Israeli draw" but it takes practice. As a old veteran who used 1911's, I have no problem going "Cocked and Locked" but I can see how others might not be used to it. Once one gets used to the Jericho, one cannot find a more accurate pistol within its price range.
Those 25mm sights really make it tough but the Masada with adding a reflex is another world. At about 20 yards with the Jericho she’s nasty accurate but inside of 20 that POA has to come way up. Thanks for watching and commenting and be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already. Thanks again
Awesome handgun have you ever tried the sar arms cz clones i seen one today for sale pretty cheap i wonder if theyre any good
I’ve saw them a lot recently and have actually held a couple just never have pulled the trigger.
I have this pistol in 9mm and 45acp, the trigger could be better, I found the trigger heavier and longer than most CZ and Tanfoglio.
That is true
Thanks for watching and commenting and be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already.
25 mm sights? 25.4 mm is 1 inch exactly. Are you trying to say that the sights are almost one inch above the slide? I don't even think suppressor sights are that tall. I never heard of any gun that had sights regulated for one in front of the muzzle. That's quite an interesting firearm you have there.
He meant meters, sights are on target at 25 meters
Yes I’ve got this very bad habit that’s so hard to break when I see meters I say millimeters. I do it without even noticing I do it with a few other things as well. I guess is a curse lol. Thanks for watching. If you shot less than 25 yards away you are subject to shooting very low especially at 8 to 15 yards
Nice real nice 👌 👍 vdeo and tool..
Thanks a lot!! Thanks for watching and be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already. Thanks again
I was about to say I shot a 12 yards and was shooting like shit. But then the other day I was let me challenge myself and did better at 25 yards hahah
Yeah it’s a little touch and go anywhere between 8 and 20 yards.
You can always pull the hummer half way, idk if you’ve tried that, lmk if that helped, I had jerichos all my life and I can shoot better a Jericho than a Glock lol
Yeah I half cock the hammer for safety reason in the case it’s dropped and hits the hammer it won’t impact the firing pin hard enough to cause it to fire. Thanks for watching and commenting and please be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already
How does this compare to the CZ P07??? Are they basically the same? What do you think?
That’s not a question you want to ask us mainly me (Gene). I’m very partial to CZ!! I know that Trey is as well. If we had to pick a favorite brand of you pinned us down it would be CZ all day. I personally think the P07 is way better than the Jericho.
"It doesn't look American. It doesn't look like a Glock."
Meanwhile, Glock is Austrian in origin and they are hideous. xD
I’m aware of where Glock is made but 9 out of 10 uninformed people think or says “it’s American.” I was being Facetious thus the “air quotes.” Thanks for watching
@@GSquaredTactical Ah okay! I didn't mean to come off as contrary, I just found it funny enough to point out. Sorry about how it must have come off!
You’re not the only one who’s pointed it out so it’s no bother at all brother
I've found the mid size on sale and I haven't been able to find anywhere else. $479, I'm trying to convince myself I can't pass it up. Any thoughts?
The only time I’ve ever saw this gun in store is when I bought it. I don’t carry the gun, I don’t use it for night stand, truck or otherwise it stays in the safe. If I could fine some different sights for it I may would use it more. I like the Masada better, but I got it because it’s iconic, different and of course it is a very good quality gun. I’m not sure I’ve ever saw it in store since I bought it and $479 is a good price
which is better sir 40 S&W or 45acp i am planning to buy on february next year, thank you in advance
I sold every 40 cal I own and the ammo about 1-1/2 years ago. It’s kinda a dying breed really and the recoil is worse than the 45. Can’t beat the 45
I don't know why they keep redesigning the Jericho 941 and changing its name.
LOL crazy
Comments for the algorithm
👍🏻
I've never heard anyone refer to these as "fake CZ's".They have the same reverse rail design and take the same mags, but they look and feel different.
That’s true
this or the Walther pdp? hmm
Ohhh the Walther is nice 😊. Thanks for watching and commenting and be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already

imagine not getting a really nice pistol cause "it doesnt look american" lmao
It’s definitely an obstacle for many, I’m sure glad I took the leap LOL, especially with the CZ lineup
@@GSquaredTactical absolutely
Yeah man I own 2 CZs one shadow 2 blue......and I was so impressed I ran up the very next day and bought the sport orange....... they are definitely some of the best shooting pistols I've ever shot....... I'm not at all a great shooter....... but the CZ helps you shoot really well...... was nailing the target with some amazing groups with them........
Yes I’ve always told people CZ will turn you into the comp shooter you aren’t.
Doesn't look American? Doesn't look like a Glock, Glock is Austrian. LOL. Funny.
Huh!!?
Ahh I see well you’d be shocked how many people will argue with you to the cows come home that Glocks and Taurus are made in America because it says GA on the side. Of course Glock in an Austrian company but I was being Facetious because everyone thinks it’s American. However there are some Glocks made in USA as indicated on the slide. Thanks for watching
@@GSquaredTactical just thought it was funny is all, no opinion either way. The best pistol is the pistol you like the best. All subjective. It like Toyota and Dodge, both foreign owned companies making great product in the US.
Great perspective
yep it is fake CZ

IWI makes excellent CZ pattern pistols. Calling it a "fake CZ" is like saying only Colt makes good AR pattern rifles.
We ask if it was a fake CZ. We didn’t say that it was a fake CZ. The heading reads Fake CZ? With a question mark. I think if you’ve watched many of our videos you’ll see that we think it’s hard to beat a CZ. We are huge CZ fans.
Fake CZ? Well you’re a silly one. The polys have been around a while. Its what I carry. You’re title cost you a subscriber.
