Jericho 941The Jericho 941 was a double action, high capacity pistol developed by IMI and introduced in 1990. Its introduction also introduced a new caliber, the .41 Action Express (or .41 AE). The Jericho originally shipped with two barrels, one for 9mm Luger and the other for .41 AE. The magazine was designed to feed either round, and since the .41 AE was designed with a rebated rim the same dimensions as that of the 9mm, the extractor and ejector worked equally well for either cartridge. Soon after its commercial introduction, the .40 S&W was introduced to the market. The .40 S&W was ballistically nearly identical to the .41 AE, and with the stronger backing of major American firearms and and ammunition manufacturers, the .40 S&W quickly pushed the .41 AE out of the market. The Jericho 941 was only on the market for 1 year before the dual 9mm/.41 AE chambering was dropped, and the pistol was sold as either 9mm or .40 S&W. A later compact version, the Jericho 945, was chambered in .45 ACP or 9mm. IMI eventually dropped the "Jericho" name in the American marketplace, and renamed the line of pistols "Baby Eagle", to capitalize on the cosmetic resemblence to IMI's more popular Desert Eagle pistol line. Specifications Caliber: 9mm Para, .40S&W, .45ACP, .41AE Weight: 920g Length: 192mm Barrel length: 96mm Capacity: 16 (9mm), 12 (.40), 10 (.45) rounds
