I'm one of your new subscribers :) Glad I found ya and I feel some kinship with you heh. I'm myself now enamored with the 2011 style guns. I'm in the process of moving my primary carry from a comp'd Canik MC9 (super flat) to a Bul Armory SAS2 EDC (2011 pattern) with a custom ported + threaded barrel, with the intent of seeing if I can get ported+comp'd working reliably :) Bul teased a 2025 (and lets face it, probably December 2025) SAS2 TAC Comp that is a V6 port + integral comp and I just don't have the patience to wait for them to get the lead out (LOL I GOT THA DAD JOKES!!). I've been drooling over the TAC Comp for months. I have a smith actively working on the barrel now, then will be sent off to Magnaport for EDM porting, then I'll monkey with my assortment of 6 to 12 lbs recoil springs and see if I can get this thing running. If it doesn't work out, its all fine. I have all the original parts unmolested so i can return it to stock form. Whichever way it goes, it'll be fun.
Good evening, Keith. Thanks for subscribing & commenting - much appreciated ! Yup - those ported & (even more so) compensated pistols can be quite finicky (especially carry-sized ones). But you definitely seem to have the proper (fun-seeking, experimental, research oriented) mindset going into it, so I'll bet you get it right. Then again, the updated Bul EDC Pro looks to be fantastic from factory - so you're all good anyway. I did see a teaser for the upcoming Tac in 2025 that's both ported & comp'd. If Bul can get that out the door in a very reliable, functional, reasonably-priced & good-looking package (and if anyone can, I'd bet on them) I believe that'll be their best-selling model in short order. Cheers, my good man & shoot straight !
Thanks for Commenting, Jon - much appreciated ! To be honest, I had such little clear feedback & interest in the first 2 videos about this (I was surprised - thought there'd be far more) that I wasn't too dedicated to finish the testing in full video format. But, with your welcomed interest, I now certainly will ! Gotta schedule with my buddy with the KDS9c to do that. The Alpha Foxtrot (newly repaired & upgraded) is really shooting beautifully for merely a 3.5" barrel - so, it's going to be a high bar to clear for the Kimber. But the results will be the results - and I'm still open to changing (if warranted). So, stay tuned - it'll likely be 2-3 weeks (apologies). Cheers !

Curious to see where this lands and if it’s the kimber I would love a side by side review
