IWI has a long-standing history of firearms manufacturing and development, dating back to 1933 when it was first known solely as Israel Military Industries (IMI). Working closely with the Israel Defense Forces, it created legendary weapons such as the Uzi and Galil, and more recently the Tavor, and of course the Jericho 941.
The Jericho 941 is a locked-breech, short-recoil-operated, semi-automatic pistol with a 16-round magazine capacity. Initial observation shows the Jericho to be a very stout and well-machined steel-frame pistol. Its full-size frame may be a stretch for concealed carry, but many users will find its profile appropriate for use as a service pistol or home-defense firearm.
