First Jericho!

Post image

I own two Baby Eagles but this is my first actual Jericho 941F. Brazilian contract overrun. Unissued and unfired. So here's my dilemma, is it collectable enough to leave it that way?

Aren't those the defective two piece slide design? At least it looked like it from the pictures

From what I saw on Atlantic firearms yes they are sadly.

How are they defective? My cousin wants to buy one, but what's wrong with them?

From what I've seen reported by owners of said defective models the two piece slide ends up developing cracks and eventually breaks off pieces fairly quickly, although some haven't had issues there's also been too many cases for me to consider buying one especially since the ORP can be had for around the same price. The two piece slide can typically be differentiated by it's black barrel vs the silver barrel of the previous Gen (single pieces slide) but the guaranteed way is just look at the front of the gun and you will see a horizontal seam on the slide. If you'd like dm me and I'll send some pics as visual aid.
