.41 AE or Jericho article?

Is this a page on the .41 Action Express cartridge or the Jericho 941? 71.235.66.254 17:52, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes. Since the 941 was the first and darned near only model to chamber the .41 AE, and the 941's whole purpose was the 9mm/.41AE conversion ability, I don't see much point in having separate articles. scot 18:39, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

There are plenty of pages on obscure cartridges that only a few guns were chambered for, and there are a few somewhat common cartridges that nobody's bothered to put an article together for. Since there already is a .41 Action Express page, which merely redirects to 10 mm calibre, at the very least, this information should be present on that page. 71.235.66.254 01:39, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Does anyone agree that this article shold be renamed Baby Eagle? X360 06:18, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

I'd put in a redirect rather than moving the article, for a couple of reasons. First, the article spends a lot of time on the original 941's caliber exchange, which is an unusual feature; the Baby Eagle models, while descended from the 941, lack that feature. You can't really discuss the .41 AE without covering teh 941, because the only reason for the .41 AE's existence was to make a big bore cartridge that would fit in a 9mm gun with minimal modification. Second, the Baby Eagle name is owned by Magnum Research, who imports the pistols into the US from Israel; anywhere else in the world, they would be called a different name, most commonly Jericho 941. They have also been sold in the US under the name "Uzi Eagle" and "Desert Eagle" as well (see here for pictures of various marked versions). scot 13:56, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

What scot said. This article is properly titled. Other names should redirect here. —Thernlund ^{(Talk | Contribs)} 18:36, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

I think IMI Jericho better describes this series of pistols. Koalorka (talk) 01:29, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
