After watching your informative video, I stopped by our local gun store, and there in the case was a BUL Armory Government 1911 in 9mm. I bought it and agreed with your description of how buttery the slide is. It just feels great in hand. I can see the disassembly of this pistol is different regards the guide rod.
That appears to be a very nice 1911 Commander. I’d like to see the Government and Officer versions too! Take care of yourself and be safe at the range! You always do a great job demonstrating firearm safety! Thanks.
@@JennyJ1911 …. Lol…. Yes, you need 2 more! I haven’t held a Bul yet. I’ll be looking for them. I really like the M1911A1 70 Series. They are a great firearm.
I just noticed for the price point it actually has seriation on the front of the grip. Does it have a fully ramped barrel? If it does 👍👍👍 get the full ramp
Hi Jenny,first time that I've seen one of your videos,well done.The first Bul 1911 I ever saw or heard was actually one year ago at a gun shore about 18 miles from my house.The manager showed it me and a friend that were there checking out the shore for the first time.We were both amazed at how easy it was to rack the slide on a 1911 that was around $800.After I got home I looked up all the information I could fine on this new to me nice looking and feeling gun.It looks and feels like it's well made,like the grips and that it's in 9mm but don't like that it's not ambidextrous ready,myself and my good friend are both Lefthanded shooters.They are hard to find in Western North Carolina but I would love to shoot a few hundred rounds through one.
Hi, Mark!! Welcome to the channel!! Buls are such great guns, and, I hate to say it, underpriced, in my opinion. Racking the slide is a dream! I do hope you get to shoot one someday soon, and I'd love to hear about it. 🙂
@@JennyJ1911Hi Jenny, Thanks for welcoming me to Your channel.I currently own a Glock19 Gen4 and Sig 365.I have always liked the feel of a 1911.If I get another handgun The Bul would definitely at the top of my list if the price doesn't go up a few hundred dollars before I could find one.They are hard to find in western North Carolina.Do you do a field breakdown on this gun?
@@markallen6818 Google grabagun (no spaces intentional) use their search function and look up 1911, or 9mm handguns) they had them in stock this am for around 850. I use this site for my ammo for about the past year and they've been solid so far.
Good shooting Jenny! Hope to find one of these Bul 1911s soon. I've seen a few positive reviews on these plus your excellent video. Love your upbeat girl next door personality so you now have a new subscriber. Thanks Jenny👍
William, thank you so much!!! I am just loving what I do. You should come to a Tuesday Night Live sometime. I have them at 8 PM Central. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment and subscribe11
I just stumbled across one of these with less than 100 rounds through it for $700 and pulled the trigger. I didn’t really know that much about it. After shooting and handling it, it’s imo the best 1911 for under $1000. It’s just a fantastic pistol.
I was able to table compare a Bul against a Kimber that was twice the price. The Bul felt more refined, solid and even had a better trigger with a smoother slide. Bul has done it right.
I agree with you so much!! Bul should cost more than it does, in my opinion. Just don't tell Bul that. :-D Wait until you see the next two Buls I'm doing...
@@JennyJ1911 lucky you! Bul Armory firearms are hard to come by. I've only seen on here in Arizona. Can't wait for your next Bul reviews. Subscribed and waiting for the 🔔. Enjoy and be safe.
Found a Bul Government 9mm at a South Carolina gun show and had to get it. It's so very rare to see one in the flesh. Got it for a great price. I wanted the Commander but what's an extra inch if you're not going to carry it. It's silky smooth and accurate. It's my 2nd 1911and I'm so glad I picked it up at the show. Wish I could afford the 1,500.00 one.
I have both the 9mm and 45acp Bul commander firearms. I agree with you on everything you stated..,I am a 1911 fanatic and feel that Bul makes by far the best firearms, especially for the very affordable price. I have just ordered from Bul Armory front fiber optic sights for both of my firearms. The price of $29.00 each made it at no brainer for original parts from Bul.
I got my bul 1911 9mm government about three months ago, after shooting it for a couple weeks I immediately went out and got the commander in 45apc 😊 did a couple mods to them both and I've been at the range every week since and I love both of them.. gonna be looking into their 2011 styles soon
@hasstheb0ss ooh that's a tough one... I gotta say the 9mm because it feels great to shoot, seriously after shooting the 45 the 9 has damn there no recoil.
I have that gun currently… I did notice that your slide wasn’t locking back when the mag was empty? I thought maybe it was just you firing 10 rounds, leaving one in chamber and resuming but I then noticed you rack the slide… mine locks back when empty? Outside of that, wonderful video! Im always curious to see how others receive firearms I have… im weird I guess.. lol.. good job!
🇦🇺😎👍Hey Jenny J 1911 🇺🇸……that look beautiful JJ…you’ve kicked another goal, good onya 👍…. I’ve got wrap around grips on both of my Kimbers , they glue the gun to my hand….Hogue I think 🤔 💭….run it in hard JennyJ…. My Kimber struggles chambering some rounds ( 147 grain Winchester white box and some others) mainly the big heavy slugs…they are beautiful handguns hey ?….. What is better Red or Green JennyJ ?
Just bought the Government in 9, when it arrived at my FFL he was a 1911 guy and could not believe the craftsmanship he had to show the other employees how nice it was, I think the store wants to sell them now. And yes they have some high end 1911's there.
I got a Bul 9mm & SIG 9mm both full size . Love them both ! SIG shoots just a bit better, not much. Bul used 500. SIG TacOpps 1,100 back when they first came out . I bet they are more now !! Satin finish on Bul shows slighty use . Not much at all . If I knew how I may try to polish it a little but best 500 I ever spent ! So far only shooting 25 yrds. Got to try it at 50 yrds. on the NRA target to see how it goes. Lots of 1911's shoot well at 25 but not so good at 50. I do have a couple that shoot sub 2" at 50 but they are built for it. Yes they cost a lot more . Not many can build one that will do it! Some Mil. armors can built really good ones !
Bill Armory produces very nice 1911’s. Is it a bull barrel or does it have a barrel bushing? What kind of finish does it have. Curious if is a DLC finish. To get a quality 1911 for under $1000 is a great deal. I wasn’t sure you could get a Bull Armory for under $1000. That’s a fantastic deal. I’ve seen other reviews on them saying they were hand fitted. Very nice. Thanks for sharing. 🔥👊💪🇺🇸
Wow those close ups show it's a real contender. I think I'm going to have to go shopping 🛍️😁😂🤣😂 😃 JENNY!!! I don't know,,.. you keep showing me Candy 🍬🍭😃😁 thank you,,... I'm really going to need that Dillon to balance the hungry commanders.😁👍
Brian, if you don't buy a Bul Commander RIGHT NOW, I am never speaking to you again!!!! (There, does that help you decide to run right out and buy one???)
Can you tell me what size the dovetail cut is on the Commander? I want to put adjustable sights on it but It would be nice to order the ones that fit. Thanks.
You look as your kids say "Bad Butt" shooting that 1911. I think that was the first time I saw you shoot a 1911. 😁👍 Well done. Does the front and back sight have dove tails to change or drift pin?
I have several Bul Armory guns. Love them. I have the EDC 4.25 and it’s a much higher price point but still can’t figure out the difference between it and this one
I agree. I have a Bul same size in black, but mine is a SAS TAC II. If you can you should get your hands on one of those. Might be better then a STI/Staccato for far less. Your thoughts 💭
Well, they're not always easy to find, @totljag. Have you checked gunbroker? The last I knew, Gateway Gun Club in Bridgeton, Missouri, had one. You could check there!
🇦🇺😎👍I guess green would be great in low light. I have red on my P09 and I’m undecided . I haven’t shot much throughout the scamdemic due to mandates so I joined another club last week and this one doesn’t discriminate. ( JJ we can’t shoot our handguns legally unless we’re at the range )( rifles and shotguns can be used on private land )…. Happy Friday 😎✌

Adolph, I can't even imagine the cost! The Buls are still pretty rare here; I'm hoping to see more on the market soon because I know people will like them.
Bul Armory currently makes the best value 1911 - excellent workmanship and great triggers at a great price. Thanks for the look at the Commander.
They sure do! Have you gotten to shoot one yet, Rider's-Range? If so, which one(s)?
If I could find one
hi Jenny, so glad to see you having fun with your new piece! and, a... great no "Bul" presentation! 😉👍

Good job again!! First time I’ve ever heard of this manufacturer. Looks well built. Msrp isn’t bad either.
Thank you, Todd! Yep, you cannot beat the price point on this one. Worth every penny.
Looks like a nice weapon. Thanks for the review.
Rich, it's my new favorite firearm without a doubt. Love-love-love it.
Very nice! I've been interested in getting one of these myself, but they don't seem to be prolific in my area yet. Nice video.

That is a very good looking 1911 👍
Thanks, Jesse!! I've been eyeing them for so long!!
The slide doesn't lock back after last round?
It does lock back; we ran light loads that happened to prevent the slide from locking back once. However every round did function perfectly. :-)
I noticed the slide was not locking back on the last round. Did that ever change?

The only difference we can see (other than price) is finish. So, I'm not sure!! 🤣 It's a great gun though. Definitely a favorite of mine.
@@JennyJ1911 yeah maybe just the pic rail and maybe deeper slide cuts? Lol pretty big price difference for just that though

Michael, I wasn't sure how I would feel about it being in 9mm but I actually am VERY happy I went with that caliber.
10 round mag is fabulous
Was it not locking back after the last shot ?
Use the reset,keep your finger on the trigger.
Where can I buy one ?
Well, they're not always easy to find, @totljag. Have you checked gunbroker? The last I knew, Gateway Gun Club in Bridgeton, Missouri, had one. You could check there!
