The Bul Armory Axe Tomahawk is the Glock inspired firearm that does it better! This may be one of the best 9mm pistols I've ever reviewed and that's impressive for a striker fired polymer handgun. In this full review, Nightwood Guns will discuss whether or not the Bul Armory Axe Tomahawk is worth it. Bul Armory offers the Cleaver, Hatchet, and Tomahawk as different Axe models, and the Axe Tomahawk I reviewed had no issues or problems! And that's just the beginning! See how this ported pistol performed in today's review! I'm excited to shoot and share the Bul Armory Axe Tomahawk review in today's TH-cam video! Is it any good? Stay tuned for the action to see how it is: reliability and shootability-wise!

Definitely you are among my favorite GUNTUBERS. Great review!
Right on, I’m glad you enjoyed! 👍
Damn it Nightwood Guns! I didn't know I wanted one of these, but after your review, I do. Not a bad price for such a feature rich gun, that doesn't appear to need any upgrades.
Competition breeds innovation. If consumers stopped defending sub-par offerings from their favorite manufacturers, there would be more firearms like this out there. Awesome review, as always.
Agreed 100% Well said! 😎👍
I just bought a SCAR and am saying bump it and getting the 92 as well... then here comes nightwood with another gun i need to buy
😂👍 You have impeccable taste!
Love mine. Only negative is one that would be the expected one…the ports will cloud your optic. That won’t affect it for defensive use. Just understand that you’ll have to clean it (the optic) more frequently. I change my Shadow Systems triggers to Timney or Johnny Glock. Not on this one. Trigger is good so I’ll keep it
agreed. wish the stock glock trigger was as nice as the bul.
Love the Timney too.
How exactly does a cloudy optic not affect it for defense use?
@m4rvinmartian who gives a shit if it's cloudy or not. You've heard of dot occlusion I'm sure. Thats literally blacked out. If you're target focused you don't know if it's occluded or not. I'd say in a defensive situation you will 100 percent be target focused. What's the problem
@@m4rvinmartianI would that if you keep the red dot clean, if you must use it in a defensive situation you are not shooting enough rounds to worry about impacting the red dot. Hopefully. If you are shooting over 100 rounds in a defensive situation something is seriously wrong. Just saying.
@@m4rvinmartian Dude come on.....how does it get cloudy? Only from extended shooting...he clearly stated you just have to clean it more often than a non-ported gun.....so as long as it starts out clean then of course it's still going to be clean when you need it for self defense....same as any optic or even your eyeglasses or sunglasses or even your windshield.....it's only going to be as clean as how well you've cleaned it before you actually need it....
I’m officially a Bul shill. I got the tac pro before they updated the line but sent to Nighthawk to crown the barrel flush with slide, polish DLC and blackout controls, tool less guide rod install, and engraved an EGA for good measure. Had my eyes on this gun as well. I feel like Bul is disrupting like Holosun did but is still being slept on.
You're right about that.
Well said! 😎👍
'Doing what Glock won't do' - So, moving past 1992 then?
If this video gets posted on Reddit, this will be the comment where the war zone happens 😂
True statement 😆. Glock does get unfair hate in that regard. They pretty much paved the way for frame mounted weapon lights, but somehow "never adapted". My oldest glock has a Gen 2 2 pin design with a dust cover that mounts an x300U boat. How, since Gen 3 was where it got introduced and both Gen 3 and 4 were 3 pin designs? Oh right....they were innovating early! 😉😘
Great review of the Bul Tomahawk! For me the grip angle was always a problem with the factory Glock. The Tomahawk's 1911 grip angle is perfect improvement. I want one!!!!
It definitely rocks! 😎👍
I have the axe full size hatchet. It’s part of my carry rotation. The only knock I can give is the dingus came out of the trigger shoe after about 700 rounds. I sent it back to Bul and they repaired it free of charge. I can only give them C+on customer service in Florida. I received an email that it was repaired but it took them an additional 3 more weeks to ship back after multiple calls to them.
+1 on the Hatchet. I enjoy mine.
I built several sizes of the Polymer 80 frame kits, actually 9 of them. Being a 1911 guy and having fired nearly 1 million rounds through dozens of pistols, I just could never get used ro the grip angle. Once i saw P80 had redesigned their frame with 1911 grip angles and still ran reliable Glock mags, i had to try one. Im a part time Pistolsmith and Glock trained armorer ,so doing the builds was super easy. Used only high quality match barrels that had to be actually hand fit to the slide and locking.block interface i was able to build some.very accurate pistols .
Did several 19/23 sized builds in 9mm& 40 S&W,
17 Sized in 9mm, .40, and .357 Sig.
And one 43 sized single stack.
Funny but the nost accurate and my favorite to shoot is a 21 sized in .45 acp.i love that one and it is amazingly accurate.
Recently built my first 2 2011/1911 DS pistols , one in 9mm and one in 38 Super.
Both are comped, built on JEM Guns frames and loaded with hign quality parts, all hand fit and extremely accurate with near zero muzzle flip or dip on return to battery.
Been eyeing this one and the Bul Armory sasII carry though.
Just finished a alloy frame commander length carry piece in .357 Sig for a friend. Love that calibers ballistics and energy for defensive use.
I recently subbed your channel. I really enjoy your honest, no holding back reviews on firearms. Not everyone is willing to risk peeing in manufacturers Wheaties if they get a lemon, so its refreshing to see honest evaluation done.
Sorry for the long post, but ill keep watching and looking forward to each notification when it pops up.
Be well!
@@mitchelperkins6723 I appreciate the comment, thanks for sharing! 👍 And welcome to the channel! 👋
Love your content. You do great videos. I came here to watch this before I decided to make my purchase. Much respect.
Right on, I’m glad the video was helpful 👍
I ordered my ported Axe Tomahawk FS before I saw your review or the similarly favorable review by thehumblemarksman. Thank you so much for making me realize I can use the mounting screws for my Holosun that came on the pistol holding the filler plate in place, because the screws that BUL sells allegedly for RMR mounting are not usable. The heads are way too large, so as to not allow the screws to seat properly. I was leary of the small screws, but since you shot 1000 rounds with no problem, I will not worry about them further. The Holosun is such a perfect fit in the cutout, there can be very little stress on the screws from recoil - they just need to hold the sight in place.
I reached out to Holosun, Bul, ordered screws from Brownells, Zev, and even eBay… and the only ones that worked were the cover plate screws 😭 15 in/lbs and blue loctite is still going strong 😂👍
1st time seeing this piece. Looks awesome. Priced perfectly for the current market.
Agreed 👍
Great review! I have have the compact version and love it. Mine was the pre-ported version, but for shits and giggles picked up an ai surplus ported barrel and it fits perfectly with the life window cut and shoots 100% reliable. Hopefully Bul will offer barrels in the future for those of us that want them. Plus a threaded barrel would be a nice addition to their offerings.
I also have their sas2 viper, which is my daily carry…love that gun!
Nice! I’d love to get my hands on the viper! 👍
Hahahaha I’m crying laughing at you talking to your TH-cam manual reviewer. Dude, great videos. You’re quickly becoming one of my favorite channels. I really appreciate you putting me on to BUL Armory. I’m definitely looking into it.
It seems that their stock sells pretty quickly when they post them. Any tips on when they restock or what time?
I’m on the notify list, but I also do not work from home so I can’t babysit the website lol
I’m glad you’ve been enjoying the channel 👍 Yeah, getting a Bul can be tough and you are definitely at a disadvantage not working from home. But outside of the “notify” list… there’s not much you can do, unfortunately.
@@NightwoodGuns Is the notify list reliable in your experience? Some people were claiming that the stock is posted before the notification goes out in some cases.
@@VictorSanchez-fi9lf I have been lead to believe that the notifications go out in batches in a first-come, first-serve order (or something similar to that) I think it used to be that they would all go out at once. But now if you hit the Notify Me button first, you’ll get the email first. Then the emails go out in staggered groups based on when you signed up. Again, not 100% sure… but that’s the impression that I got after talking to some people.
I replaced connector bar on my compact with one from Ghost Inc. and knocked off another 1 lb off the trigger pull, standard Glock 3 parts. Keep all the benefits of the trigger from Bul, and improve it for 25 dollars.
Sounds like the perfect upgrade 👍
Some of the best gun review content on the web. Great work and keep it up, sir!
Your review, and carrying, of the Bul 4.25" TAC II sold me on it. Love it!
Right on! I’m glad you’ve been enjoying the channel! 😎👍
Bul Armory makes very good firearms. Have the Bul Armory Axe Tomahawk with stainless slide. I get sub 2 inch Groups at 25 yards and trigger pull is around 3.5 lbs.
This Axe Tomahawk was scary accurate as well 👍 Surprised me considering the ported barrel.
My accuracy was awful after shooting blazer brass 124. I had to clean the barrel excessively and the accuracy returned. The Compact version is super soft and rifle loud. Amazing!
Thanks. Have a dozen Glocks, all stock. I only like them. I have four BULs, and they were all purchased in the last year. This will be my next BUL. GOOD REVIEW, thanks bro.
😎👍
Brett! Fantastic video. You've done it now, as I'm working diabolical plans on how I can aquire one of these. Can you comment on whether or not the Tau/LTT Striker Control Device will fit the Bul Axe offerings in your collection? I really, really like the safety net they offer on reholstering. And I WANT them to work lol 😂
Yes, the Striker Control Device will fit and work on it, but it will sit a little proud since the Bul trigger has less take-up. Same thing with my Johnny Glock Trigger-infused Glocks
Makes sense! Thank you for confirming!
Great review. Still saving for the SAS2 Ultralight, EDC or EDC pro can’t decide which one but love the changes they have made. Obviously listening to the consumer.
Absolutely! Cant wait for those releases! 👍
lol I did the same thing to mount my optic. No issues noted.
😂👍
Got my Tomahawk FS this week and shot it for the first time today. It's everything you said it was. It's my first ported gun and it's truly incredible how the ports transform the recoil impulse and keep that dot in the window. It's exactly what I was looking for.
I tried a complete Ghost kit and absolutely hated it. I ended up taking it out and only using the safety plunger spring. Now the trigger is (Glock) perfect for me. Very impressive for a factory trigger. After only roughly 200 rounds the trigger has already gotten a bit lighter.
The two glaring weaknesses of the gun are the stylized trigger guard and the mag release. The trigger guard is nothing like a G17 guard and that caused problems with the Double Alpha Max holster I bought. I had to reshape the guard and although it's better, it's still not as good as how a G17 would fit.
Then, that horrible mag release. I took it out, worked it, and the grip, over and now it's free and smooth. However, it still wasn't suitable for any kind of competition. I designed and installed a mag release button and the problem of the insufficient button height are gone. No need to reposition the hand for a speedy and smooth drop of the mag. It may be even better than my Prodigy mag release!
Sorry to ramble. Thanks for the great review. It led me to a purchase that I'm extremely pleased with and I know it will serve me well in local steel challenges.
Gunsmith Cats....classic!! I'm subscribing just for that, but I do enjoy your content as well.
A man of culture! You have great taste, welcome to the channel! 🙌
Showing glock what glock should have made... bul is amazing. I have extra large hands, and can verify the grip feels excellent to me as well. I own an axe cleaver, the budget version, and you would expect it to be a $1000 pistol.
😎👍
Subscribed for your ear pro sticker. Also, would be extremely cool to see a comparison with the ramjet
Right on! Always happy to run into someone else of culture 😂👍 And this is equal to the ramjet with no spring change. The ramjet with a DPM Soft Edition beats these ports all day.
Your videos are top notch. Great review.
Glad you enjoyed! 👍
I like ports and I enjoyed the video 😊. I’ve got it shortlisted and I really wanted the ported version. But you mentioned something that not a lot of other reviews touched up on: how fouled the optic get over time. I’m currently having the same issue with an M&P I picked up last year. Luckily there’re ways to work around it. But with this Bul porting style, it’s going to be a challenge. Maybe the none-ported one would be the cleaner route. 🤔
Great review as always Bret.
Non-ported would probably be cleaner, but would it be as cool? 🤔😅 Definitely a great gun regardless 👍
@@NightwoodGuns cool points are the only points that count. 😂
@@parunbelhomme Agreed! 😂👍
Another great vid. One major negative with this particular gun is that it's impossible to find though.
True! That’s Bul’s issue across the board. I asked them about it and they said they refuse to compromise QC for more availability.
Thank you for doing the review on the TomaHawk no one seems to have do review on it I been very interested in it for a while especially if it was as reliable as Glock or other bul guns looks and sounds like they fixed most if not all my issues with normal Glock think the 19 sized one about to get picked up
I’m glad you enjoyed the review 😎👍
Barrowed friends in Comparing Accuracy 8 types of 124 gr from around the world Best Glock Clone! I'd like to see a bit more shooting footage drills w hit results and timer etc in the vids
Great feedback, I should definitely do some more drills on camera. Have you tried the Tier 1 Concealed Three-Sevens Drill yet? It’s my fav 👍
@NightwoodGuns I haven't that's the 25, 15, 7 yards one? I made up many of my own and also do the 4 Gabe White Standards
@@DanTheWolfman Nope, definitely look it up! I’d love to see you nail it 👍
GREAT REVIEW BUDDY 👍
😎👍
I bought one the day it came out, love it, I shoot it better than my prodigy, and for 850 out the door no tax, you can’t build this gun for close to that, porting. Good triggers, amazing grip texture, so on and so on
Hard to beat! 😎👍
I find these Bul striker guns kinda goofy looking for my tastes but that grip angle and texture are making me want to try one!
How? Look at the rest of the industry. I bought a 3 windowed slide and I hate it! I wish they would sell the frames.
In my experience the Timney Glock trigger is a game changer. Also they run around $150 or lower on sales.
They’ve been hit or miss in my experience. Even when they work, you are losing the “partially cocked” safety feature inherent to Glocks.
Bul for the win.
😎👍
Every gun in 2024 should be coming with most of these features!
Absolutely 👍
Another banger from Nightwood
😂👍
Bul makes great guns. Only one problem. I can’t find one anywhere! Where are these things sold? Even the online seller that ship to FFL’s never have them in stock.
*GP Arms might have one. Also, feel free to contact Bul. They are very friendly people. They'll tell you the closest location.*
@@m4rvinmartian
Thanks for the tip. I’ll check it out.
Go to the website.
Have 2 in stock
I have the compact version of this it’s the best shooting pistol I own. Outshoots all of my full-size pistols. I’m not a Glock fan but the Axe tomahawk is the one Glock clone that I would pull the trigger on and im glad I did.
@Tsand4 are you getting a full three fingers grip on the compact frame?
@@OBZ74 yup full 3 finger grip
Very nice! 🙌
Always great video 👍👍👍
😎👍
Just purchased a SS CR920P yesterday and you're making me want to buy another...fml
Don’t worry, you have some time to recover before they restock 😂
Thanks!
Much appreciated! 🙏 Thanks for all of the support
Excellent review! Curious what your pick for sheer speed and performance would be between this Bul Armory Tomahawk and the newer Shadow Systems factory comp’d offerings like the MR920P? Thanks again for a great review!
Bul Armory all day! Glad you enjoyed the review 👍
I see you use the 507 comp Holosun a lot, would you use it for EDC ? just wondering since you have extended experience with this site ?
It is my favorite sight and I now run it on all of my EDC guns 👍 I’ll have to do an update video. But yeah, I definitely endorse it for EDC use 😎
In all seriousness, I started watching this kid when he had eleven subs, and kept saying, WHY on EARTH does he not have 400K. Well, he will……. One of the best, most concise, informative AND entertaining TH-cam gun channels.

It should fit most Glock holsters 👍 It fit all of mine 🤷♂️
That thing is massive I wish it was a compact. I would buy one up so quick!
There’s a G19 size, but I’d love to see something smaller too 👍
@NightwoodGuns We need a 3.8 inch version. 😂
@@MF-Rell 😂👍
Hi, I was wondering if you have used the DPM system on any Staccato? I have a CS and would like to try DPM to reduce recoil. That’s really the only drawback to the CS, imho.
Yep, I run one in my Staccato XC and C2 👍
@@NightwoodGuns Thanks for you input
😎👍
Everything feels better with a DPM installed! As always great review, I might actually go pick one of these up. Since this is built around a Glock platform, does that mean I can go with the un-ported barrel and run another gen4 slide? I know it's a little weird to buy something thats already tricked out and mod it but like you said they've already done all of the work for you, so if I can run the killer innovations slide that I want on a frame that's already had the work done, I look at it as a time saver and possibly a money saver
It's not often you see a Glock clone that's actually better than a Glock. Looks like they've got a winner with this one. I was tempted to order one a few weeks ago when they were still in stock, but I've got to start saving my lunch money for a SAS. I'm long overdue to get into the 2011 game.
Lol, that's hilarious.
I’d say you made the right move 👍
It’s a double edge sword.
Glock originally wanted to make a revolutionary gun that just worked and was cheap. He did that.
What more could you need? But eventually as other companies come up with better features, it begs to ask, “why doesn’t Glock?”
I’ll still always buy a Glock because they’re so affordable and they just work.
Buttttt. I wouldn’t mind some slides completely designed with a RMR or RMRcc in mind. With a ported barrel stock. With a thread barrel and stock compensator options. With a modular grip similar to the P320 or the VEZ OZ9. Make a small skinny frame that could accommodate a 43X slide or somehow fit a 19/17 size slide with different grips.
So many options. But would they be as reliable with all this? Maybe not. Would they be as affordable? Maybe not. And so I’m fine buying a different gun based on my needs.
Well said 😎👍
lol. Nah. That’s just making excuses for Glock. The CZ p10 series is better in every single way and they go for $350-$450. Way cheaper than a Glock and the performance isn’t even close
The most underrated viewer!
You sure are. Can't watch a review without you.
@@jericosha2842 He is the real GOAT!
Glad you enjoyed the review! 👍
I’ve had my compact version for two months now and it has become my favorite handgun. It’s so flat and accurate. I can damn near key hole full groups at fast cadences at 10 yards. I’ve never shot a gun this well. It literally doesn’t move making shooting fast and accurate very doable. No malfunctions in 2k ish rounds as well.
It’s crazy accurate, I noticed the same thing. Definitely a fan! 😎👍
Wish we could have our Handguns back here in the UK 😞😞 Great Video 💯💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
Trying to make sure everyone in the U.S. learns from what happened to you guys. So sorry, man. Glad you enjoyed the video, though 👍
Bul makes great guns, however now that the war has a lot of citizens arming up, they are at full capacity and it will take a while before they are available again. For reference, the firearms department in Israel is still handling license requests from October
First, thank you so much for the review!
I was planning to get the mac 9 ds after watching your tisas 1911 ds review. But after hearing you say "this striker fire pistol has tighter tolerances than the tisas ds 1911", I started having doubts. Also, I believe in your last Q&A video you mentioned that from the people you trust, you heard that the tisas ds 1911 has a better shooting experience than the mac 9 ds. 😅 Anyway, I think you didn't have the chance to test the mac 9 ds or the canik tti combat yet but I was wondering, which one of the two would you recommend buying? I'm asking you this because after watching almost all canik tti combat reviews on TH-cam, I started to lean more towards it than the mac 9 ds even though I like the 2011 concept much more than I do striker fired polymer guns. Appreciate!
Be aware that 99% of the TTI Canik reviews out there have strings attached. They only just hit “the wild” in the last couple of days. That being said, I’m sure it’s great. I’m just all for informed consent 👍 And yes, I heard from the factory that the 5-inch Tisas shoots better than the MAC. But the MAC can be sprung better. I’m still waiting to get my hands on a MAC to determine for myself. I would go with a the MAC or Tisas over the Canik, personally. 👍 That Tisas I ran was mind blowing for the price.
@@NightwoodGuns Thank you so much for your answer Brett! Please keep sharing great reviews!!

Been waiting for this review since your short. I got one a couple weeks ago but have not had a chance to take it to the range yet. Can't wait to shoot mine! Great review!

@@NightwoodGuns have you seen ninja kamui?
@@se9882 Nope, is it good? 👀
@NightwoodGuns 😆 I haven't seen it I thought maybe you have but I keep hearing it is good. I might start watching solo leveling that's one I seen ppl enjoy.
@@se9882 🤣 I’m always hesitant with stuff that is the “new hotness” because it’s usually just recency bias or it’ll end up falling off and getting bad. Then my time investment was wasted 😭
Between bul armory and canik, in a couple of years or so they will be a house hold name in the states and in the gun culture in no time and i truly believe that, to there affroable prices and to there quality of there firearms they are putting a lot of usa manufatures to shame, not saying there are the perfect company but there products speak for themselves.
Random question: I've only recently had to LocTite something myself when it came to installing the firing pin in my FGC-9 build... do you typically apply LocTite to the threads first and let it dry first, or is it okay to apply and seat the screw wet?
You want to use alcohol on the threads to remove any grease. After drying, apply a dab of loctite to each screw and install wet. Then give it 24 hours to fully set 👍 And I always recommend a paint pen for witness marks so you can visually see if the screws ever start backing out.
@@NightwoodGuns Thanks for the notes! I installed wet and for good measure applied a small dab over the nut (not sure if that would even do anything but I figured it couldn't hurt lol). Does the IPA method work for removing LocTite too? I may have to drill a small hole in the bolt for the charging handle which means I'll have to remove the LocTite I applied and then reapply after drilling the hole.
@@livefreeprintguns I remove loctited screws with a heat gun. If it’s near things that can melt, I’ll touch the screw with a soldering iron instead.
That helldivers reference ahaha
😂👍
You mentioned getting the compact version; are you planning to review it also? I am super interested in picking one up (whenever they become available) and I'd love to hear your take on the compact before doing so.
If I can be fast enough on an in stock notification I will 👍
I have the compact version it outshoots all of my full size pistols including my ported echelon.
@@Tsand4 👍Good to know! I'll just keep refreshing the page till it becomes available 😥
@@NightwoodGuns they’re in stock today. Got mine on order 😉
@@venturebrowser Very nice! Congrats! 🙌
Very interesting, i know its smaller but how would the ultralight do? (Mostly cause i like smaller guns)
I have not tested the Ultralight so I can’t personally vouch for it. But if it’s anything like the TAC it would be great 👍
Common problem I am seeing is there's a screw in the trigger that backs out. Just something worth noting.
I don’t know if it’s common, but I was specifically watching for the trigger shoe pins to back out over 1k rounds and they didn’t budge, still tight. Probably just an uncommon QC thing, I think they outsource the shoe. But I’ll be sure to update if anything happens.
Nice review!
😎👍
My experience with Bul has not been great. I have a fs hatchet. I won't go into to the problems I had getting the gun, which took forever even though it was in stock. The contact people in my Miami are very uninformed and not customer friendly. Shooting my hatchet at a plate shoot yesterday, the trigger safety fell out. Not even a thousand rounds through the gun. Will have send it back for warranty and be without it for six weeks probably. Not a happy customer
A lot of people don't know that the axe triggers have a pre-travel set screw adjustment, so you can eliminate some most of the take up. Also Ramm Tactical has a great trigger called the leverage trigger. It has less pre-travel than the stock and it too has a set screw adjustment. the trigger also drops 2 or 3lbs off the trigger weight. It comes with a trigger bar and springs, but without changing the springs, leaving everything factory drops the weight. They have a video putting it in the axe hatchet c, if anyone is interested.I'm getting the hatchet and will be putting the ramm tactical leverage trigger in it for lighter pull.
Nice! I had no idea! Thanks for sharing! 👍

@NightwoodGuns I just got a Jericho, and a H&K I'll be reviewing in my Armory Playlist ▶️
Part of my wishes they had threaded barrels for both this and the SAS ii. Or at least sold Barrels on their site.
I’d like to see you review the new Canik TTI. I do trust your reviews
This definitely seems like the definitive "Glock clone" even though it really kinda stands on it's own. Might have to look at the non ported version, the Hatchet I think it is? Also how does it fit into your holster? No fitment issues?
You are right about Bul Armory, they are quickly becoming one of my favorite pistol manufacturers. Was going to jump ship to a glock from Sig, but now I'm gonna have to look at Bul Armory after this review. Not a terrible price either! Great job Brett!
Glad you enjoyed the vid! Yeah, I'll definitely be getting the non-ported Hatchet when its back in stock. No fitment issues with any of my holsters.
I agree that I don’t know why Glock doesn’t put texture on the whole grip now, especially since they make them in the USA, but oh well. Personally I wish they made a new 17C and 19C model, but they probably just wouldn’t sell as well as their stock non comped counterparts.
Thank you for the info. I been looking into getting one. I didn’t know that had them ported. Now if they got a 19 size ported I’m all over it! Great video.
They do have a 19-size ported 👀 Glad you enjoyed the vid!
Really think BUL is doing it right!
Absolutely 👍
My only gripe is it’s all Gen 3. I wish Glock would just say fuck it and partner with some companies like Zev or someone and just partner on an out of this world gun.
Their stock guns are great. But there’s room for so much more.
Yeah, that would be awesome! 👍
When you say this gun has your stamp of approval you should do a large cheesy special effect across the screen with a corny sound effect. (DERSH) “NIGHTWOOD APPROVED”
Perfect! I’ll do it and give you zero credit. But we’ll both know it was you who came up with it 🤣 You sold me with the DERSH
@@NightwoodGuns I wouldn’t expect anything else from a TH-cam influencer. Ha
@@harris7066 🤣🤣🤣
Looking forward to buy Axe C here in the Czech Republic, just don't know if to go with Hatchet or way more expensive Tomahawk, which is ported. If I buy Hatchet, will a stock OEM Glock threaded barrel fit it so I can mout a comp? Or is that stupid?
I am pretty sure you could do that 👍 You can always ask Bul because they would know for sure 😎
Not stupid at all! Comps over ports 100%. Hopefully, bul makes an Axe C*X* Hatchet, compact g19 length slide, g17 17rd magazines, Add a radian afterburner + ramjet for compensation. Gold.
If I was gonna concealed carry it though, Axe C Hatchet with afterburner + ramjet, don’t see how it could get any better.
If we could only find them.
Right? Hopefully they can restock soon.
They have a website. 😂
Yeah. Nice pictures of everything that stays sold out😂
@scottyroberson7340 No they're not. I just looked yesterday. The Axe Hatchet is in stock in black. Compared and Full size.

Bro your recoil control is nuts or your using tuned down ammo... Either way big fan of your channel
Just running 124 Blazer Brass in this vid. Glad you’ve been enjoying the channel! 👍
I’ve been waiting for this video
I’m living in Israel and I don’t know what should I buy because I can buy only one pistol and if I want to buy another one I need to sell the old one
I’m really lost because I’m new for this I want to buy the tomahawk, glock 19 or the bul tac
You can’t go wrong with any of those options, to be honest. They are all solid, it is just personal preference 👍
@@NightwoodGunsthanks mate
Wow! At 68 years old, I have a hard time justifying and finding a spot in the safes for a new gun. Ima have to check this one out, I think. Stellar review, Bret. By the way...Was that .45 acp brass I saw flying outta that thing or were my eyes tricking me?
It’s 9mm. Just zoomed in.
Just 9mm 👍 But yeah, it’s a great little blaster!
Great review. I just ordered 4 more DPM springs!
Nice! 😎👍
What holster are you using?
T1C Axis Elite for G17 w/X300 👍
Thanx Brett

Have a Bul Armory FS Hatchet. The trigger safety dongle fell out after about a thousand rounds. And between 5 and 6000 rounds, the frame cracked. It may still be functional but really, right? I was very much enjoying the gun and I know mine is a sample size of 1, but I'm requesting a refund.
Thanks for sharing your experience! I can only review the one in front of me and I definitely don’t have 6k through it yet. I’ll keep an eye on it (and the dongle) and I’ll keep everyone updated if anything happens. 👍 If you remember to, come back and keep me posted on how things turn out. I’m hoping Bul takes care of you.
Thanks, and will do! Hope yours works out for you! And I love your reviews! Keep it up!

Been waiting for this one!!!!! Glad you like it. I'm carrying my Cleaver Compact and I really dont see anything replacing it anytime soon.
My only complaints:
1) I wear Large size gloves so the grip is small for me.
2) I cant use the gas pedal after 2 mags or else I'll grill my thumb medium-rare.
3) I pinch my hand on reloads if I dont lift my pinky.
All three of my complaints are specific to me and the size of my hands. The Cleaver is awesome. Every time I holster it I feel like "I'm back on my Bul-shit"
Makes sense! Thanks for sharing your experience 👍
So here's a question: Are the Hatchet and the Tomahawk the exact same gun with a different slide?
Yep. The Tomahawk is the Hatchet with a cut slide and ported barrel.
I was looking for a soft shooting but lightweight gun. I love my Prodigy 4.25 for USPSA but damn it's heavy and hard to swing around in steel competitions. I ordered a Tomahawk FS and am hoping that it fits the bill. I checked on the DPS site and they don't list a spring kit for the Tomahawk, only the Cherokee. Thanks!
It might be worth sending DPM an email. They might put one together for you or a Gen 3 Glock might fit. They are cool people and always happy to help 👍 Hope you enjoy your Tomahawk as much as I do!
Just get a gen 3 Glock kit the tomahawk is a gen 3 clone can take all gen 3 parts.
@@Tsand4 Well, I figured that since the gun was ported, the recoil springs would be quite a bit different than a stock Glock.
@@baxrok2. I know. But as Brett has said he’s used DPM kits that aren’t specifically made for ported/comp’d guns but they work the best on those types of pistols. He uses DPM kit for his Glock with the radian ramjet that is made for stock glocks not comp’d glocks and it makes the pistol even better. The oem spring for the ported Bul might be a tad lighter then a stock one but that’s about it.
@@Tsand4 Good point! I have a DPM kit in my Canik, so I know they work.
Good job Brett. Now I have too many decisions for next gun. Big fan of Nightwood 🤩
😂👍 that’s a good problem to have! Glad you enjoyed the vid!
Good review thanks; kinda going the metal gun and hammer fired offerings recently but these Bul's look amazing!
Same 😅
Which holster are you using as well as which recoil spring (pounds)
What's you favorite EDC?
Beretta 92FS
Thanks
I’m running the Bul Armory SAS II TAC most days. Staccato otherwise 👍 For micros I recommend the G43x and P365 family of guns.
Thanks alot bro
@@realyouth5273 😎👍
i have the bul sas 2 4.25 tac as you have and its amaizing! intresting how this pistol is compere?
What do you torque your optic screws too?
Depends on the optic, mount, and screws. But usually 15 inch pounds with a dab of blue loctite
I have the same model. I love the texture on the grip and slide. It also comes with the slide cut for the optic. It will cost you much less compared to if you got the stippling and the cuts on the slide of a Glock 34. The price for this pistol fell under $900 . Even if you didn't like the Bul, shadow systems puts the same amount of work into their pistols. The only downside I had with Bul Armory pistols; they are very hard to find. Even if you go straight to the manufacturer, they almost never have them in stock. That goes for the Tomahawk and the SAS 2011 and the Ultra. The only way I got mine is when I was looking for another gun and they happen to have two Tomahawks in stock.
Yep, that did a great job with this offering! Like you said, Bul’s one problem is keeping things in stock. But I’d rather them be hard to get versus pumping them out in high volume and losing QC.
Hopefully I’ll be able to get one. Never seen bul armory guns anymore near me in person. And online they seem to be hard to find too
That’s their one problem. When you manage to get one it’s a great feeling, though! 😂 Definitely worth the trouble 👍
need a compact version.
If they made a G26 size with the frame rail it would be a knockout
That would be incredible 👀
