I suppose it's not like they haven't done this before, though. After the Desert Eagle became a big Hollywood star, they renamed the Jericho (their only practical handgun) to "Baby Eagle".

I mean the "Desert Eagle" name, but then I remember that MR is the owner of the name (my bad, the first thing I think when i read something about Desert Eagles is IMI...)

1911 Desert Eagle is a pretty gay name but not the biggest naming fail in fire arms (EAA Witness Hunter).

Also, I'm pretty sure the Desert Eagle's Hollywood stardom began before the Jericho was introduced (1990). It had already been in movies like "Commando", "Red Heat", and "RoboCop" by that time. |

The Jericho may be based off the CZ-75, but it's not a direct copy. I think its design changes from the basic CZ-75 are enough that the Israelis can call it their own.

Yeah I agree. We don't look at every pistol ever made and think of it as a shameless 1911 knockoff, even though the gun has inspired countless other designs. The differences, sometimes drastic ones, are usually the important than the similarities. I consider the Jericho as it's own gun built on the CZ pattern, not a "CZ knockoff".
