yes, I have bought a 40 and 45 jericho from buds since then. no, I have never held one before buying the 9mm. Did hold a cz 75 before buying the jericho. Read reviews online and looked at specs. the jericho weighs more, figured it would have a more solid feel to it. No regrets.
I have a full size jericho, really nice gun. It is heavy, about 40 oz. Magnum Research has started importing them again under the name, baby eagle 2. I consider it the best of all the cz clones.
