Description
The Jericho 941 has been around since 1990, and for good reason. It's built on the same short-recoil, locked-breech system that made the CZ-75 one of the most respected handgun designs in the world. The Enhanced version takes that proven foundation and updates it with a modern polymer frame in OD Green, a revised hammer and trigger profile, a cleaner grip without finger grooves, and Novak-style adjustable sights mounted in standard dovetail cuts. The result is a full-size pistol that feels genuinely refined compared to its predecessors.
The 4.4-inch barrel is button-rifled steel with a black nitride finish and a 1:10 twist rate, which is great for 9mm accuracy and long-term corrosion resistance. The slide runs front and rear serrations for solid manipulation from any grip position, and the steel construction pairs well with the polymer frame to keep felt recoil manageable. At 26.8 oz, it's got some real weight to it, which actually helps flatten out the muzzle flip during fast follow-up shots.
The frame-mounted thumb safety gives you true "condition one" carry capability, meaning you can carry cocked and locked in single-action mode, or decock the hammer and run it in double-action for the first shot. The DA pull is longer and heavier, as expected with any DA/SA design, but once you're in single-action it's crisp and easy to work with. The Picatinny rail up front is a full MIL-STD 1913 cut, so mounting a light or laser is straightforward with most standard accessories.
Three interchangeable backstraps let you dial in the grip fit for your hand size, which is a welcome touch on a full-size pistol. The OD Green polymer frame keeps the weight down compared to the all-steel Jericho variants without sacrificing that solid, confidence-inspiring feel in the hand. This is a great pick for home defense, range use, or anyone who wants a serious-duty-caliber pistol with some real heritage behind it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Jericho 941 Enhanced a DA/SA or striker-fired pistol?
The Jericho 941 Enhanced is a traditional double-action/single-action hammer-fired pistol, not striker-fired. The first shot can be fired double-action with a longer, heavier trigger pull, or you can carry it cocked and locked with the manual thumb safety engaged for a crisp single-action first shot. After the first round, the slide cycles the hammer back and every subsequent shot is single-action.
What is the magazine capacity of the IWI Jericho 941 Enhanced in 9mm?
This model ships with two 17-round magazines for a total capacity of 17+1 with one in the chamber. The Jericho 941 platform is also compatible with CZ-75 pattern magazines from quality manufacturers like Mec-Gar, giving you some solid aftermarket options if you want to stock up on spare mags.
Can I mount a weapon light on the Jericho 941 Enhanced OD Green?
Yes. The polymer frame features a full MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny rail on the dust cover, which is compatible with most standard pistol lights and laser units. It's a full-length rail cut, so you have plenty of room to work with when fitting accessories.
How does the OD Green polymer frame differ from the original steel-frame Jericho models?
The polymer frame version is noticeably lighter than the all-steel Jericho variants, while still delivering a solid, well-balanced feel in the hand. You also get the added benefit of interchangeable backstraps to fine-tune the grip fit, which was not a feature on the older steel-frame guns. The operating system and CZ-75-derived mechanics remain the same.
What are the sights like on the Jericho 941 Enhanced?
The pistol comes with Novak-style 3-dot adjustable sights mounted in standard Novak dovetail cuts front and rear. They are adjustable for windage, and since the dovetail cuts are industry-standard Novak dimensions, swapping them out for night sights or fiber optics is a straightforward upgrade if you want to go that route.
Is the IWI Jericho 941 Enhanced a good choice for home defense?
It's a capable and well-built full-size pistol that handles reliably with a wide range of 9mm ammunition. The 17+1 capacity, manageable recoil, and accessory rail for a light make it a solid home defense option. The DA/SA action also gives you a degree of safety redundancy since you can carry it hammer-down and still fire a deliberate first shot without disengaging a separate safety.
