Bought a 1911 Bul SAS Gov today from it being one of my favorite handguns to use in video games. . After watching your review, it solidified my decision on it and I love it.
I always enjoy your videos especially when it comes to the 1911 platform. I am a lefty as well and it nice to see when a company takes us into consideration. Keep the videos coming!!
I love their 1911's. I own two. They are cool and affordable priced. I shoot the G model very well. As good as I shoot my friend's Shadow 2 and I like the way mine handles better. Good on you, Bul.
I own 2 Kimber Polymer .45s in full size (for competition) and commander (carry) which I believe are actually Bul frames. They have been totally reliable and originally sold at a price point much less than the well-known 2011 brands.
My Desert Eagle 1911 ( made by Bul ) has served me well for years. Slide is smooth as buttered glass, trigger is fantastic. You're absolutely right: Bul makes a better than average 1911 for a very mainstream price. I call it my anti-progressive trifecta: military styled, hi-capacity mag ( 8 instead of the original 7 ), and made in Israel.
So its true, bul armory supplies 1911s to magnum research ( desert eagle) I bought the undercover light weight. It does say bul ltd on the frame, that's fantastic.
Fellow lefty here. In all my Bul 1911s I turned the mag release button up to the 12 o'clock position to move it away from my middle finger. Still use the distal knuckle of the middle finger to press it for reloads.
I have this gun in comander and it is a laser beam I got it new 2 years ago for 700 and I have guns that cost 3 times more and don’t shoot as well! One of the top 3 guns in my very extensive arsenal! Bull armory is no joke guns made by people who literally depend on guns like this to survive! Pound for pound one of the best guns made end of story!
I was trying to find a 9 mm 1911, have or have owned six 45 acp versions. For about 18 months, was looking locally for a Bul, magnum research, or Springfield emissary. Ended up being enticed to purchase a Alpha Foxtrot, the parts fit and finish were outstanding but after the first three rounds touching each other on the target it failed its first 100 round range test (fail to eject many times). Just got back from the manufacturer in Georgia yesterday in very good turn around time, but have not retested yet.
My starter 1911 was a Para Ordance Expert 14.45, and I still love it. Got it used and I've only had a issue with one of the orginal mags that came with it (pretty beat up mag).
" Lefty's lives matter", Love it. Ice review on what seems like a great guy, Thanks for posting. Always enjoy a lefty perspective on a 1911. Southpaws need to stick together..
Really great video! I'm a lefty too and I own the BUL SAS II UL and I wish it had a lefty mag release button (I can add an ambi safety if I want, which is nice). There is a limitation on how the 1911 platform design that doesn't allow for a lefty mag release button?
FYI, BUL markets a less-expensive version called the Classic 1911 selling for about $850 in stainless steel. Available in both .45 and 9I'm and an equally impressive firearm.
That’s exactly the model I’m looking for, and no dealer in the US has them in stock. I was told by a dealer they are unable to order them that BUL Armory sends them different models from time to time. They really need to get their game together!
To be fair, I have reached out and they have said by keeping prices down and quality up, they have to have lower production rates. Imo it's worth it, because bul armory makes insane guns for the price, by any standard. Probably some of the best full-production line 1911s in existence.
@1911 Syndicate Hey man! I forgot to ask..since you are a lefty how’s the mag release button when you do double tap? I myself is a lefty and been wondering if does give you something to worry like when you shoot it since the mag release button is oversized (good looking).
I have one I love it, its a beautifully made piece, 2600 dollars here in Oz not a cheap 1911 but unfortunately mine wont load 10 rounds, 9 clicks in fine but 10 rounds in a mag and I have to literally SLAM it into the gun, and that broke the ejector off which I had to replace. So when I use it for IPSC I'm at a one round less disadvantage. I contacted Bul and they are yet to get back to me but promise they will. Great review btw 😉
Interesting. Maybe it just needs some different mags? I've been running a lot of single stack 9 lately with 10 rounds in the mags no prob. Not on a Bul gun however
In a 1911 review, where all the guns fit the same form factor, its helpful to get deeper into component details. For example, Dan Wesson, which others have mentioned as the primary price-point competitor at approx. $1700 uses all bar stock small parts, whereas something like a Springfield TRP - also a nice gun in the $1400-ish range uses a good amount of MIM. When a newcoming to the market, like BULL comes along, we want to know whats IN the gun, and how they're making them. Without that you're just kinda saying, "Well, it's a 1911, alright!" Thanks Brother!
Keter this is a solid reply and explanation of the difference between MIM and Bar Stock. However I have to disagree on your statement on 1911s only being “art you can shoot”. If that was the case, why do 1911 type handguns virtually dominate all forms of action pistol shooting? Glocks are a fantastic choice for many organizations due to their low cost, ease of operation, and simplicity of repair (Glock parts simply drop in and do not require the fitment a 1911 part would demand). However, when it comes to accuracy, reliability, longevity of the firearm itself, and downright shooting speed, 1911s rock.
My ☠️🖤☠️ for the illustrious 1911 Platform landed me on your channel.

For those who are not familiar with the Hebrew alphabet, BUL is the 8th letter. It means "produce or out growth." Certainly applies to the land, earth. Where it was once rocks and sand, there is now produce and citrus. Israel is an exporter of many things especially high tech items. My Heavenly Father has truly blessed his favored people. Thank you Lord.
A video that I would like to see in a company comparison video of custom 1911's: company hallmarks and idiosyncrasies, industry reputation, etc. Its a topic I have not been able to find elsewhere and would love to receive input from you guys as a dude slowly saving up for a 1911 in that price range.
Hmm interesting. May be able to do that in the coming months. I have a custom 1911 that is about 3 months out. A true custom gun, vs what I would call "off the shelf custom"
@@wallaceavin7490honestly I'd rather spend my money on this gun than a high end custom. Better deal for what you get and even a hell of a deal at that this is right at that point where you hit diminishing returns and every 1000 dollars spent gets you about as much of an improvement as every 2-300 before this point. Like I said though this gun is amazing and I can't imagine anyone would regret it, I have the updated version from what's shown in the video and this is by far the best 1911 you can get below 2k. Bul offers insane amount of value in this
Great Review! Enjoyed the information. I wanted to ask you a question though. Have you ever reviewed Fusion Firearms in Naples, Florida. They have some great 1911's starting i sub $1000.00 range, and up to $3000 +. You can even order a decent custom in the range you described in this video, $1000.00 to $2,000.0 range. Try them out, owner is Bob Serva.
I first heard about bul on a edc 2011 bul makes on talon sai channel a year ago. Also in a article on the bul armory SPIKE 1911 that was cool , no review on that one .
If a 45 acp is to much for you to shoot enjoyably, instead of just shooting a 115 grain 9mm, you should try 22lr. You’ll really love that then! Just saying. You be you ;)
My 45 acp magnum research bul desert eagle is much more accurate for me than my 45 acp range officer target. I even did a trigger job to the springfield to try to compete with the desert eagle with no luck.
Maybe, but considering that Bul Armory 1911s are close to $800 msrp I doubt thay it would be economically viable for Magnum Research to buy from these guys, make their modifications, and then sell in the U.S. for an msrp of $850-950. I think Magnum Research has their own manufacturing plant in Israel.
1911 Syndicate 😱.... Me neither!!! 😂 But every single review I saw/read claims it’s the best production 1911 on the market!! You have to review one!!! I think you are going to like the Specialist... I really like the work you are doing! I’m a 1911 fan, but only have one (SW 1911 E) because of cost... but I spend hour in the high end guys website admiring the pistols.... Cheers
@@1911syndicate I'm not trying to sound like a fan boy (I mean you're a wronghanded soulless ginger that has a hateable amount of high end toys to play with on a hateable amount of free land) but the production value is super high and your delivery is really, really good. I'm calling it, you'll be one of the "those" gun channels in a couple of years. Good job, and screw you lol.
Brother you need to get ahold of CZ Dan Wesson get a Specialist in 9mm since you're a 9mm guy. DW is THE BEST 1911 under 2K. Been switching between my Specialist and Nighthawk Enforcer on duty and carry a DW Valor off duty. Been a Nighthawk shooter for years decided to give DW a try for the last year and im very impressed. All bar stock no cast or mim semi custom hand fit guns. Pretty much on par with Les Baer at a lower price point give em a try you won't be disappointed. Only thing I don't care for is the guns are a bit under sprung which can easily be changed.
I'm NOT a fan of left handed controls, sorry lefty's. I've carried a gun for my entire adult life for work, not just take it to the range to target shoot. Ambi safety have a way of getting caught up on everything when worn in a holster, and can actually take the gun off safe during the course of the day. Sorry lefty's but that's just not acceptable, any gun I've owned that came ambi I flipped to right hand only.
FYInfi. my Kimber piece of Shit also. Frame cracked offered new one at reduced price. $1,200.00 = $900.00. So I could buy 2 pieces of S---. How about replacing "YOUR" broken frame?? Went up 3 levels of management same answer. I own NO Kiber's!!!!!
1st video from this guy I've ever watched and he decided to review a competition gun without even trying to get a clue of what the rules of the competition this gun is designed for. Come on, 5 min of research on google would have clared up that personal ignorance! The rest of the "review" is pretty much Mr. Tacticool trying to explain why a beachball is a substandard hockey puck. (no rail for my rocket launcher kind of shit). Get your crap together man, at least acknowledge that you are reviewing a power tool and not a spanner. Geez...
I got one in 45 ACP. I'm really happy with mine. I'm going to buy a light to go on it. I will be using mine as EDC. This pistol shoots really well.

Comparing this to Dan Wesson, which is better? They both are on the same range.
Haven’t gotten hands on a DW yet so not sure
I feel like Dan Wesson owns this price bracket. Wish there were a few more companies making them in this bracket, with handfit slide/frame/barrel.
Wish I could get a DW for a review, unsuccessful thus far
@@1911syndicate I have a DW Valor, and it compares to my Baer in fitment. Their cirrent lineup seems less classic than my taste.
Trophy beats all DW 1911s under 2k tbh, love this gun
how does this compare to the dan wesson poinmant 9?
Haven’t shot that one

Where can i buy one of these?
Honestly no clue, my understanding is Bul just changed their dynamics with distributors and dealers
I think a Springfield Range Officer 9mm is about the same range as that and shoots probably similar.
Perhaps, haven't shot it
My 45 acp magnum research bul desert eagle is much more accurate for me than my 45 acp range officer target. I even did a trigger job to the springfield to try to compete with the desert eagle with no luck.
