@@wisesage3289 The gun is pretty loud - but mostly for your poor friends shooting with you and the SO. You don’t much notice it while shooting yourself. I always double up my ear pro - especially indoors. Laser Lite foam plugs and HL Bolts with gel cups.
So it’s a question of having the V8 ports or not. No significant benefits to have the ported barrel, other than having it being slightly flatter shooting and louder to be sure, with slight concussive attributes and constant cleaning of the exterior barrel which can be difficult. I've already sold the 5" Pro for the non-ported 5" version, it just wasn't for me.
I wish that Bul USA MADE IT INTO THE 21ST century technology wise . They don’t have the ability to take back orders you have to play musical chairs with their web site to see when they periodically release a few for sale. I think the make a nice pistol I would love to buy. I’ve been watching their site for 2 months with no luck
@@TheRagingBull Yes! Originally the EDC came in stock and I pondered for a few days about it. Then, Aug 1st the TAC 4.25 non ported model came available and I ordered that as it was my preferred choice as something I can have fun with and train at classes, and also carry in the fall and winter.
I put about 150 rounds through the Gen2 5” and will be shooting IDPA match with it which I’m excited about. The 4.25 I put about 120 rounds through it. The new 5” shoots flatter than the Gen1. Trigger feels just as nice. Really top notch out the box. Measured around 2.25-2.3. The 5” has noticeably flatter feeling than the 4.25 to me - even with the light on the 4.25. With that said the 4.25” is amazingly flat. If I could only have 1 I would get the Gen2 5” but I LOVE the 4.25 and it’s going to make my carry rotation after a few hundred more rounds and I find a holster for it that can use the PIDhc The 20 round mags are very stiff and full at 20 rounds. They also stick out a little more than the 19s even though the baseplate is smaller. I’m wondering if they’ll fit in the IDPA Box. Couldn’t go wrong either way and slightly depends on your use case. Competition / range only I’d get the 5” - if it was for winter carry or something similar I’d get the 4.25.
I had 2 different emails set up for notifications and alerts set. It's been a while since they got a restock, if I was a betting man, I'd say they have one coming soon.
@@TheRagingBull question, saw some different reviews on plated ammo. I want to start competing with this tac pro when it arrives. What ammo do you use? I usually just use the cheapest shit I can find with my shadow systems.
@@darriusjackson9882 my order shipped out in 2 days and got to me in under a week. The bigger problem is getting them in stock ! Make sure to sign up for email notifications.
Took delivery of my 4.25 about 3 weeks ago after I was notified they were in stock..shipped out the next day and was in my hand at FFL 2 days later. But I live in south florida and they ship from Miami so that helps obviously
They’ve functioned perfectly through range and the one IDPA match so far. I rotated all 8 - and while not a ton of rounds through each they’ve had no issues. Getting the 20th round in them is a little tight. They also stick out ever so slightly more than the gen1 19’s. I wonder if they might not fit in the box given how tight the previous 19s were.
@@TheRagingBull both mags that came with the 2023 edc started rattling after their first cycle. Sounds like 2024 has improvements across the board. The loctite has set, ready to see if these live up to the hype.
@@TheRagingBull so nice. I thought the edc 4.25 was flat, the 5 pro is a different level. I knew it would be a little better but not this much. The 4.25 is amazing, don’t get me wrong, but the pro is basically a race gun.
I only own and have shot the ported versions but the fit and finish is really top notch so I assume it would be just as fantastic. I get some people probably don’t want the ports, or if I wanted to shoot Limited Optics I would get the standard Tac non ported version.

I've already sold the 5" Pro for the non-ported 5" version, it just wasn't for me. I have no regrets letting go of the V8 model. I now ordered the 4.25" TAC - wanted to see if I prefer a shorter slide.

I have the 5 inch and I put it right there with my staccato XC . The Bul is actually a bit softer and has a better trigger.
It’s amazing for the price point. Amazing for any price point really.
How loud are the ports? Thinking getting one for IDPA, which is indoors. Nice short and concise review. Share your feedback after the match.

The EDC 4.25 and TAC 4.25 are in stock right now. EDC came in stock a few days ago, and the TAC alert came about 4 hours ago.

@@GrahamB nice ! How’s it been working for you
What ammo are you running? Heard it has to be a true FMJ, can’t be plated. ie blazer cci is a no go.
Anybody have any idea how to get one?
