Thoughts on the Polymer frame Jericho 941 RPL
- Thread starter Weekend Gunslingers
- Start date
May have to carry it down south from time to time, so weight loaded and holstered is a factor.
I saw lots of videos about it, and decided to buy one (waiting for transfer now).
That pretty much explians my thoughts about it
. I have the metal frame range kit in 9mm too.
Polymer one should be lighter with simillar nice trigger, same slide and barrel pretty much. About accuracy - youtube videos say good things, will be able to say first hand when my plastic one arrives and I compare it with the full metal frame.
The looks - even if it was more expensive than a Glock, I will always choose the Jericho style. Glocks are so ugly to me

Just received mine today.
So here are the initial observations :
The feel in my hand is great, slide seems the same as on the ful metal version.
Trigger itself is made of metal, which I like more than the plastic ones. Double Action pull seems a bit ligher than on the metal frame version I have, single action pull seems a bit longer (1mm) and grittier (the single action pull on my new steel frame Jericho is smooth and clean), but breaks fine, reset is the same lenght on the Poly version, more audible.
No wobble on the slide and frame.
Will check how the accuracy is this weekend most likely and will share, also compare with accuracy with the full metal frame one.

Couldn't wait till weekend, I went today to the range
So the plastic Jericho feels great in hand with full mag, recoil is felt a bit harder compared with the full metal frame one (I shot them one after another)single action trigger is definitely smoother and lighter on my full metal frame (I have 2 full metal frame ones, both have same perfectly smooth and short SA pull)
Mags from both fit each other (both tested are 9 mm).
The full metal one with full mag feels like a real gun in hand, real solid, the first shots with full mag have very low recoil, compared with the Polymer one.
Accuracy is hard to judge from my shooting as I haven't shot them at all before today, below are my targets.
First target is from the Polymer one, 5 shots from around 8 meters , second target is the full metal frame one, 5 +1 shots,
the target paper is a standart Letter size page.
and this below is from the full metal frame one.

Some years back I had seen a very nice H&K with chipped magazine well. I felt so sorry for the owner. Since than, sorry, no plastic guns for me. No aluminum frame either. Just, good, old fashioned cold steel.
