Cowboy Bepop: An analysis of Spikes Jericho 941

These visible customizations and modifications of Spike's Jericho include a silver guide rod to minimize recoil and increase the rate of fire, custom grips for sweaty or otherwise wet handling, steel frame holsters to further reduce recoil by adding weight, and a frame-mounted laser sight which, curiously, is never used. While the Jericho is small among pistols, it is universally regarded as distinctly heavier than most -- a fact that contributes to its softer recoil and follow-on accuracy but makes extended carry bothersome.
