Choosing the Best Jericho 941 Suppressor: Our Top Picks for 2024

November 1, 2024 Posted by Derrek Sigler

The IWI Jericho 941 pistol is one that is easily identifiable. There isn’t anything that really looks, or performs like it. That it comes from the same company that produces the UZI helps, and it also lets you know that it is a solid pistol that will do exactly what you need it to do.

One thing that is definitely in the 941’s favor is how well it takes to a suppressor. Not every pistol will work seamlessly with a can, but we have found the Jerico to be one that does pretty well. Granted, you will need to find a threaded barrel for your Jerico if you don’t already have one. That may be the biggest challenge to fitting the best Jericho 941 suppressor.

Getting to Know the Jericho 941

Introduced in 1990 by IMI (now IWI), the Jericho 941 is a 9mm DA/SA pistol that is modeled on the CZ-75 and is sometimes known as the Baby Eagle. Despite that moniker, it is not related to the larger Desert Eagle.

The gun has been used by various police and military forces throughout the world, but it is most widely known and recognized as the gun used by one of the characters in the Japanese anime show Cowboy Bebop.

While you can certainly use a suppressor with the Jericho 941, it's important to understand that there are no options available from the factory with a threaded barrel. If you want to use a suppressor, you'll have to purchase an aftermarket threaded barrel. That's the rub about suppressing one of these pistols. Aftermarket threaded barrels are few and far between. If there were an easy solution, we'd include a link, but there isn't that we've found. We do, however, know that they exist, so if you find one, grab it while you can.

Benefits of Suppressing a 9mm

The 9mm cartridge is one of the most popular in the world, which means that there are a ton of guns chambered for it and, by extension, a ton of suppressor options available for it.

Since it is so popular, suppressor development for the 9mm is pretty well honed in and the cartridge benefits greatly from being suppressed.

While no one would argue that the 9mm produces much recoil, it still has recoil nonetheless. Shooting it with a suppressor helps reduce some of that recoil. This reduction makes it more pleasant to shoot, can help increase a shooter's accuracy, and can help get the shooter back on target faster if there is a need for a follow-up shot or shots.

Choosing the Best Jericho 941 Suppressor

Every person's priorities for choosing a suppressor are different, whether it's for use with a Jericho 941 or some other gun.

Decibel reduction, recoil management, length, weight, versatility, build materials, budget, and more are some of the most common aspects that people take into consideration when choosing the best suppressor for their needs.

Our Top Suppressor Picks for the Jericho 941

Below you will find detailed information on our top suppressor picks for the Jericho 941. We chose the products based on price, weight, length, versatility, decibel reduction, and popularity of the models that we sell - and we sell a lot of suppressors.

Best Overall: Dead Air Wolfman

The Wolfman from Dead Air takes our top spot for the best Jericho 941 suppressor because of its range in terms of modularity, caliber compatibility, firearm compatibility, and build quality.

Made of fully welded 17-4 PH stainless steel, this provides ultimate levels of strength and durability while still keeping the suppressor as light as possible: only 9.8 ounces in the short configuration and just 14.4 ounces in the long configuration. It’s the perfect balance of toughness and lightweight. The Wolfman's large internal volume and blast chamber is designed for maximum muzzle suppression while also maximizing at-ear performance.

Even though the Wolfman already offers excellent decibel reduction right out of the box, the front cap can contain a user-provided rubber wipe that can drop sound suppression levels even further.

Advantages:

Fully welded stainless steel construction is very durable
Modular design for user-specific needs and setups
Rubber wipes can be added to the front cap for extra sound reduction

Drawbacks:

Not user-serviceable

Most Affordable: Yankee Hill Machine R9

Affordable and cheap are not synonyms, so don't mistake the two words to mean the same thing, and don't mistake the Yankee Hill Machine R9 as being cheap just because it is affordable. Even after you factor in the $200 tax stamp, this suppressor still costs $320 less than the next least expensive suppressor on this list - before you add the stamp!

If you’re the kind of shooter who likes to run high volume quantities of ammo through handguns, SBRs, subguns, or pistol caliber carbines, then the R9 is exactly what you need. It’s even rated for limited full-auto fire, so go ahead and send it! The fully-welded, tubeless design is built from stainless steel for rugged durability while still keeping the weight down: it weighs just 10.7 ounces.

Even though it's a 9mm suppressor, the R9 is compatible with a bunch of different calibers: 17HMR to 9mm for pistols, as well as 5.56 NATO, .300BLK, .350 Legend, 6.5 Grendel, and .308 Winchester for rifles. Simply put, there’s a ton of value packed into this suppressor.

The R9 is compatible with the YHM Phantom QD adapter, 3-lug adapter, Nielson adapter, and other direct thread sizes.

Most Versatile: SilencerCo Omega 36M

For the shooter who wants modular capabilities and multi-caliber compatibility because you'll be using it on more than just your Jericho 941, the SilencerCo Omega 36M fits the bill perfectly and easily slides into our spot for versatility on this list.

Offering multiple configurations for length, weight, and mounting options, the Omega 36M has a two-piece modular design that allows for the removal of the front section. This lets the shooter decide what is more important during a specific shooting scenario: if you need the best sound suppression and are not worried about length, then run it full-size. If you can sacrifice a few decibels in the name of size, then go with the shorter configuration.

Here are the details of the Omega 36M configurations: When shortened, it measures 4.90” and weighs just 9.8 ounces. The long configuration is 6.85” and weighs 12.5 ounces. By utilizing a mixture of stainless steel, titanium, and Cobalt 6, both long and short configurations of the Omega 36M are full-auto rated.

Like most SilencerCo products, the Omega 36M can be used with a variety of other SilencerCo pistons, Charlie, ASR, and 3-Lug accessories.

Advantages:

Modular, multi-caliber design without having to be huge in size
Build quality allows it to be full-auto rated even in the 4.90" configuration
Can use entire SilencerCo family of mounting products

Lots of versatility, but no large rifle compatibility

Lightest: Dead Air Odessa 9

The Jericho 941 isn't exactly the smallest or lightest handgun around, so if you can save some weight with your suppressor, that's a big plus. Due to its compact size – ranging from a tiny 2.75” to just 7.75” and weighing just 7.4 ounces in its full length – you won't feel like you've got a giant metal pipe on the end of your muzzle. As a result, the Odessa 9 takes the spot as the lightest on our list: even in its full-size configuration, it still weighs less than all the others at their shortest by more than two ounces!

There are ten different configurable lengths for the Odessa 9, which is great because you can truly dial it in and get the best balance between size and sound suppression on the Jericho 941 or any other gun you use it on.

Lightest and shortest on the list by far
More modular capabilities than any other on the list
Competitively priced

Drawbacks:

Direct thread attachment option only

Dead Air Odessa 9 Specs:

Caliber: 9mm
Weight: 7.4 oz (full length)
Diameter: 1.1"
Length: 2.75" to 7.75"
Mount Type: Direct Thread
Material: Stainless Steel
User-Serviceable: Yes
Full-Auto Rated: No

Best BANISH: BANISH 45

We've got a lot of options in the BANISH lineup, but the BANISH 45 is a modular silencer specifically designed for handguns in calibers ranging from .45 ACP down to rimfire. Testing shows the BANISH 45 suppresses a 9mm pistol (like the Jericho 941) by 36 decibels. That's best-in-class sound suppression!

Both ends of the BANISH 45 can be easily unscrewed, allowing you easily and quickly disassemble it to change between the short and long configurations as well as making cleaning a breeze. Reassembly after cleaning or putting it back into the long configuration is just as easy as disassembly thanks to the keyed and indexed baffles.

Caliber compatibility and the ability to use it on other firearms is what we love best about the BANISH 45. Easily swap out the pistons and you can attach this suppressor to a number of pistols or pistol caliber carbines.

Advantages:

Compatible with all of the common pistol calibers
Titanium makes it strong and still very light
Modular so that you can choose which size is best

Drawbacks:

Swapping pistons adds to the versatility, but each one is sold separately

What to Know When Buying a Suppressor

First and foremost, yes, suppressors are 100% legal to own, but there are some special considerations.

In broad legal terms dealing with federal laws, if you're able to own a gun, then you're able to own a suppressor. However, suppressors are not legal in all 50 states. In fact, they're only legal in 42 states and you can only hunt with them in 41 of those 42. There are also some local restrictions on use and ownership within some states. As a result, you need to do your due diligence to ensure that suppressor use and ownership is legal where you live.

Suppressors are NFA Items

Suppressors are known as NFA items because they fall under regulations set out in the National Firearms Act of 1934, or NFA for short. Other things that are classified as NFA items are destructive devices, short barrel rifles, short barrel shotguns, and machine guns. It may seem silly to lump suppressors in with those other items, but that's just how the current guns laws are and have been for almost a century in the United States. The NFA dictates that you must purchase a $200 tax stamp for each and every suppressor you buy.

You Can Set Up a Free NFA Gun Trust

An NFA Gun Trust allows you to add unlimited co-trustees to also use your silencers or other NFA items, ensures easy transfer of items as an inheritance when you die, and makes purchasing more silencers and other NFA items easier in the future. We offer this Gun Trust FREE if you purchase a silencer from Silencer Central. We also help ensure you completed the gun trust correctly so ATF does not reject. We have completed over 15,000 silencer-to-gun trust transfers and counting!
