The Jericho 941 is the designation given by IMI/IWI [Israeli Military Industries/Israeli Weapons Industries] and the slide is marked 'Desert Eagle' which seems counterintuitive since it is not the Desert Eagle that people are familiar with. It is also known to many by the name Baby Eagle which is the name given to it by the Minnesota company Magnum Research who imports and manufactures under license several weapons of IMI design, including the Galil Rifle. The name 'Baby Eagle' is not just a nick name, as the slides of those pistols are actually marked 'Baby Eagle'. On that note, Developers at IMI/IWI gave it the nickname 'UZI Eagle' and some pistols were also marked 'Uzi Eagle' but that practice stopped immediately when it was realized that marking the pistol "Uzi" in any way, made it 'a banned gun' in any of the states which had banned Assault weapons by name (California, New Jersey, Maryland, the City of Cincinnati, the City of Chicago, to name a few). The way the laws were written, any semi automatic pistol marked "Uzi" would be the same as the Micro Uzi Pistol, so the name was eliminated to enable sales of the pistol in these markets.


In recent years, the pistol has been upgraded to include an under-barrel accessory rail as seen on many modern semi-auto handguns, and is available with both steel and polymer frames. It has been chambered in 9x19mm, .40S&W, .45ACP, and the defunct .41 AE. The FS version of the Jericho 941 has a decocker on the frame (moved from the slide).
