Frequently Asked Questions

How do you safely decock a Jericho 941 that has been converted to DA/SA?

To safely decock a Jericho 941 converted to DA/SA and lacking an external decocker, point the firearm in a safe direction, place your thumb on the hammer, and gently pull the trigger while using your thumb to control the hammer's descent until it is fully forward.

What is the difference between DA/SA and SAO trigger systems?

DA/SA (Double-Action/Single-Action) allows the first shot with a long, heavy trigger pull, and subsequent shots with a short, light pull. SAO (Single-Action Only) requires the hammer to be cocked before each shot, with the trigger performing only one action: releasing the hammer.

Why is manual decocking important for certain Jericho 941 models?

Manual decocking is crucial for Jericho 941 models converted to DA/SA that do not have a frame or slide-mounted decocker. It's a necessary safety step to make the firearm safe for holstering after firing.

What are the key handling differences in a DA/SA Jericho 941?

In a DA/SA Jericho 941, the first shot involves a heavier, longer double-action trigger pull. After firing, the slide cocks the hammer for a subsequent lighter, shorter single-action pull, requiring a manual decocking procedure for safety.
