There is not much information on polymer-framed Jericos on this forum, so let me share my experience.
A lighter brother of my steel-framed Jericho arrived today (bought from SFRC). After going to the range I will extend the review with accuracy data and shooting experience.
First what I've done is I've cleaned sticky grease from the gun. After doing that the gun feels really good. Definitely, it's hard to compare to the steel-framed brother - steel is steel, polymer is polymer. Steel-framed one feels different. Not really better, but different.
There are definitely pros and cons. Let me try to list them:
Pros:
- Lighter, so easier to carry - in case if you are going to carry it. Easy to move fast.
- Better ergonomy - finger grooves feel really good (but it works only if the grip is right size for your hand). Trigger guard is wider, so it's more pleasant to hold with index finger using two hands to shoot it.
- Warm feeling grom the grip in contrast to cold feeling from a steel one. In fact I like a feeling of "cold steel" too, but a polymer frame could be better for cold weather.
- An unexpected one - most actions with polymer frame are more quiet. It includes dry-fire, inserting magazine and removing magazine.
- Less prone to finish related problems (frame is made of polymer, it looks OK even if scratched).
- The price is great! $610 for a range kit: gun, 3 mags, holster, 2-mags holster.
- Can take shoulder stock for Glock! It costs around $100, and it's much cheaper than pistol-caliber carbine or a kit. It is a popular accessory for Glocks in Israel, I think it is a good addition to the pistol, very easy to attach and detach.
Cons:
- No "heavy and reliable" feel. Even though I believe it is reliable, there is no such feel. Not a big deal, I think.
- No full-frame rail for slide - just two places on the each side of the frame. You can see these places on photos (not in this post - google them) - they look like diamond-shaped places below the slide. Not sure how it affects accuracy and reliability - probably it just doesn't affect them at all.But let's see.
Other thoughts:
- Very good quality polymer. I would say, it feels better than other polymer-framed guns.
- Serial number is on the steel plate on the bottom surface of the trigger guard. You don't need to cover serial when taking photos anymore
- No exchangable backstarps, but for regular-sized hand the gun is super-ergonomic. For a very small hand (like my wife's) it's not a good choice because of finger grooves.
Overall impression:
Very good feeling gun. Love it. Good addition to Jericho family.
Wait for range report (will do in a week or two).
