Spike's handgun

Spike's Gun:
A Jericho 941, made in
Israel, equipped with a
laser sight.

The Jericho 941 is a double action, high capacity pistol developed by IMI and introduced in 1990. Its design is based on the CZ-75 pistol produced by Česká zbrojovka (CZ) of the Czech Republic. The introduction of the Jericho 941 also introduced a new caliber to the market, the .41 Action Express (or .41 AE), which was developed in 1986. The .41 AE was a unique rebated rim cartridge designed to use .410 inch (10.25 mm) bullets and duplicate a reduced power police loading of the .41 Magnum. The Jericho originally shipped with two barrels, one for 9mm Luger and the other for .41 AE. The magazine was designed to feed either round, and since the .41 AE was designed with a rebated rim the same dimensions as that of the 9mm, the extractor and ejector worked equally well for either cartridge. Soon after its commercial introduction, the .40 S&W was introduced to the market. Ballistically, the .40 S&W was nearly identical to moderate .41 AE loads (the reloading manuals that list the .41 AE generally say to use .40 S&W data), although commercial loadings of .41 AE were somewhat more powerful than the .40 S&W. With the stronger backing of major American firearms and ammunition manufacturers, the .40 S&W quickly pushed the .41 AE out of the market. The Jericho 941 was only on the market for 1 year before the dual 9mm/.41 AE chambering was dropped, and the pistol was sold as either 9mm or .40 S&W. A later compact version, the Jericho 945, was chambered in .45 ACP or 9mm. IMI eventually dropped the "Jericho" name in the American marketplace, and renamed the line of pistols "Baby Eagle", to capitalize on the cosmetic resemblence to IMI's more popular Desert Eagle pistol line.

I think I read somewhere that the girls from Noir use the same gun as someone from Cowboy Bebop (possibly Jet), can anyone confirm this?

In the first episode of the series, someone tels Spike that his Swordfish one-man craft is an antique. It doesn't surprise me if Spike prefers antiques in general.

Does any one know what type of pistol spike uses? I assumed it was a Barretta, but does anyone know what model also it probably the standard 92F but who knows.
Till next time,

Since Bebop takes place in 2071 Spike must be into antiques. I believe Rally from Gunsmith Cats uses a CZ-75.
