I took out my brand new full size current-production Jericho 941 steel frame pistol today for its debut outing. I was unimpressed.
I ran two mags through it, each loaded with ten rounds (they are standard 16-round mags, but I only loaded them with 10 each). Of the 20 rounds that I fired through it, I probably had 8-10 malfunctions. Every malfunction was of the same type (the round would fire and I’d find a spent case in the chamber and a live round attempting to enter the chamber, which was already filled by the spent case).
I suspect that there is an issue either with the extractor or perhaps the recoil spring is overpowered or a combination. I am also wondering if the mags had something to do with it.
It just strikes me as odd because the spent casings remained in the chamber as if the extractor completely failed to retain the casing after it fired. This required me to lock the slide, eject the mag, and shake the spent casing out of the chamber.
I will be contacting IWI about it next week, but am interested in what you think might be the issue. Thanks.
