IMI Jericho 941R “Desert Eagle Pistol” .40 S&W Full-Size Steel-Frame Semi-Auto
This early-import Jericho 941R pairs Israeli Military Industries’ rugged steel construction with Magnum Research’s distinctive “Desert Eagle Pistol” branding. Chambered in .40 S&W and built on a full-size carbon-steel frame, it delivers the low bore axis, smooth recoil impulse, and DA/SA flexibility that made the 941 series a 1990s standout. Collectors will note the mid-1990s serial block and crisp dual-language roll marks that tie this example to the first wave of U.S. imports.

Built on a CZ-75-inspired design, the Jericho 941R runs its slide on internal frame rails for tight lock-up and a lower bore axis. The result is a stable sight picture and quick follow-up shots.
A 4.43-inch carbon-steel barrel with polygonal rifling maximizes velocity while simplifying maintenance. The bore remains mirror-bright, reflecting the pistol’s limited use.
Controls are intuitive: an ambidextrous slide-mounted safety/decocker, rounded spur hammer with half-cock notch, and standard magazine release support safe carry and fast reloads.
The matte blued slide and phosphate-blued frame wear matching black textured polymer grip panels highlighted by IMI eagle medallions—an unmistakable signature of early Jerichos.
Fixed combat sights—dovetail front ramp and low-profile square-notch rear—deliver a clear, snag-free sight picture suited to both range work and defensive roles.
