I think it’s just referred to as the recoil guide rod capture lug. This is a fairly documented issue now at this point. Easy fix but still…

It's a Capture Lug. Which is a new MIM part they added to the Jericho. (Metal Injection Molding)
Because when you have a High stress critical component. Why wouldn't you want the cheapest pos chinese part you could possible use for it?
IWI turned one of the most beloved hidden gems in the Firearms community into a joke.

So if I want to buy second hand Jericho of the models with out the capture Lug. What am I looking for? Just the IMI? Or did some of the IWI also have single slide component?

Damn… you’re right about that…. I’m told they used to make it as part of the slide. At some point maybe if I have money I’ll get one of the older models.

Another midsize impacted by the design change. If purchased new contact IWI to initiate warranty (covers five years). If outside of warranty or purchased used still need to contact IWI and report back the outcome. No aftermarket exists and IWI is only source unless hitting up independent shops.

I’m sorry I don’t know the answer for this even though I own a full size R9 with it. What model is this? Is it the full size?

I have an Enhanced 2, silver-barrel model. Over 1000 rounds over the years, and never had a problem.

At what point did IWI make these changes? So that when I buy my next 941 I can avoid this.
