So I had a little extra cash and bought one of the used and imported jericho's (aka baby eagle) off of buds. Their pictues were bad and the descriptions were brief. This one is considered "good" condition. It is a semi-compact gun.
finish is more of less intact, but different than the finish I am used to seeing here. The tritium in the night sights are way dead.
couple of quirks:
1) it is single action only. Somebody put a pin through the frame of the gun to keep the trigger from resetting all the way. (green arrow) When I punched the pin out, the trigger got super long like a double action, but would not pull back or cock the hammer.
2) there are 3 odd holes in the frame. (red arrows) the ones at the muzzle are threaded (there is one on the opposite side of the gun) I assume they are/were for mounting something?
3) the slide will not lock back on the mag. I assume it is from either the worn follower (black) or a weak spring, But look at how far off the frame the slide release sits. I have cleaned the gun and that is as far in as it will go.
Any thoughts about the quirks? What they are, are they normal, how to fix them etc?
