Finally. A 1911 I Would Actually Buy (and Maybe Carry)

- In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves reviews a 1911 that he thought he was going to hate - no, that he wanted to hate. This particular 1911 is a polymer/alloy/steel hybrid made specifically to be the same size, weight, and capacity of the Glock 19 and to take the king of the compacts head on. Does it succeed? Is this 2011 a challenger to the Glock 19 throne? James puts this double-stack 9mm 1911 (technically a 2011) through the paces including a 500 round review and a full takedown.
Check today's video to get the scoop on the only 1911 derivative James (so far) considers a decent buy for carry: BUL Armory SAS II Ultra Light 2011.

it probably is a 3.25" barrel, James. You measure barrels from the breach face to the end. In other words, put it all back together, stick a pencil down the barrel (with the breech closed), mark the end of the barrel on the pencil, and then measure that distance. That is the by the book way to measure a barrel, and i bet anything that it being a 1911 barrel that it doesn't fully support the case, which would mean that where you measured from doesn't touch the breech face. Sorry to nerd it up in the comment section. Carry on, gents.
Don't you dare apologize. Awesome comment. I owe the apology as it looks like the barrel is closer to 3.23". Photos: imgur.com/a/GJPrqPq
Point still stands in that the barrel itself is substantially shorter than the G19, but my measurements in the video are accordingly 2/10ths of an inch off if this is correct.
Oh for sure. That thing looks amazing, I would just have a hard time carrying a $1,000 gun. I don’t know if the risk in having to give it up in the event something happened versus the odds of it making a difference in winning the fight would be justified. By the way I’ve still got the dollar dollar bill y’all gripped hi point that you gave me. I’d say hit me up if you want to grab a beer next time your in town but seeing as how the covid has messed everything up guess that’s not gonna happen. (I’m Corey btw if you haven’t figured it out yet). Take care James
Lmfao just saw the end of the video lmfao jimminie fucking crickets
dcwillis87 your life isn’t worth $1,000? You realize if the shooting is justified you get your firearm back, don’t you?
I for one am glad James didn't know that, that length joke cracked me up
Measuring from the beaver tail is like measuring from the taint.
but Playboy said that all counts!
And you don’t?
Aka correct
Yeah the proper measurement is tip to taint bro
LOL gotta let me know you’re packin
I and the other 1911 boi's:
Ladies and Gentlemen... We got em.
Drinks all around!
The ones who know, just know
Do i Count? I have a S&W 4516, does that count as 1911? 🤪
@@josefstrauss9017 I have a 4516, and carried a 1911 on duty (and the 4516 while off-duty) for years....they aren't the same platform although both are excellent firearms. It does count as a very, very cool handgun!
That is NOT a 1911. It’s a 2011. Huge difference. He wouldn’t consider that gun if it were a 1911 with 7-8 round capacity. Calling this gun a 1911 is like calling the Shelby Cobra an AC Ace. Is the newer, better one, based on the older one? Sure. But it’s not the same.
"Msrp is 1250 dollars. That's almost 3 glock 19s"
*Cries in 2021 handgun prices
For some reason Glock is through the roof. I saw a used g26 gen 5 at a pawn shop for $799.. I went to sportsman’s and snagged a p365 for $499. Cheaper and blows Glock out of the water in every way..
Local shop is selling a 19 Gen 5 for a thousand dollars in my area, it’s criminal.
@@mrwashur1991 because everyone knows what a glock is
very nice piece and accurate. I guess it comes down to loving 1911/2011’s and can you pay the price. I like my government style 1911 but carry a Shield.
@@mrwashur1991 i just picked up a g27 gen 4 police trade in for $389 doesnt have any holster wear and came with night sights. just gotta look around. or maybe its just in georgia idk. try to find glock licensed dealers on there website thats what i did.
The problem is when you have guys growing up being only exposed to handguns like the Glock your going to have them bad mouthing the 1911. But the one thing that’s clearly evident is the 1911 has the best trigger around and the gun is extremely fast and accurate. Most of the 1911’s faults come from the magazines even the stock Colt mags are junk. If you buy high quality mags like Cobra mags you will never have a reliability problem even with series 70’s and 80’s guns. There’s a reason why 20 plus different manufacturers make the 1911 and 2011.
That’s absolutely true!
You will never find a better trigger than a good 1911.
Every problem I’ve ever had has always been crappy magazines.
Glock fans have never shot anything else because a Glock is all they could afford. Every serious operator or ex-operator I've talked to carries a 1911 for fast and accurate shooting. No glocks.
@KEV_101 yea you can’t go wrong with STI or Stacatto pistols.

James saying he likes a 1911:
I Will only believe it, when i see it.
Me seeing it:
I don't believe it...
He got paid for this video .
In my experience, almost all 1911 issues are due to an extractor not being “tight” enough. Most 1911s I see have an extractor tuned way too loose, even out of the box.
One of my gun buddies saw your video on the BUL SAS and he bought one. I know we've put at least 2000 rounds through it and it's been killer. It's a awesome hand gun! He carries it a lot. He's a Glock and Springfield XD fan and he was blown away by the accuracy and trigger pull of this outstanding firearm. I'm currently saving up the cash to buy one myself. Thanks for the great videos.
where do you buy these from ...got a link
Do you have a link on where to buy these from?
James: "Why would I buy that?"
Also James: "So this is my ninth AK"
You can never too many ak's or ar's, imho.
He's got 9 AK's? I thought one was good for me, but I suppose you never know when you'll have to arm your local insurgency.
James is such a wonderfully self admitted hypocrite in these respects.
You mean you don’t have 26 AKs in your bedroom, 34 in the living room, and another 50 in the basement?
....I wants 50 AKs in my basement. Also, kinda want a basement too.
I carry the Browning 1911-380, 3.625", and I love it. Accurate, small, nice trigger, easy safety, and at 45 ft, my grouping is always nice. I know people don't like 380's, the browning court, but there are some really good defensive rounds for it.
I've been into 1911's since I was a kid. My command in the service was one of the last hold outs that still used the 1911. After leaving the service I bought a lightweight commander and didn't care much for how it shot. Then I bought a "enhanced combat commander" and I've used it for concealed carry for around 30 yrs now. I have no idea how much ammo I've ran through it and I honestly don't really recall it ever have any kind of misfeed. So either I am very lucky, or 1911's are more reliable than James claims in the video. Yes, there are some drawbacks to carrying a 1911. However, the trigger and the way the gun shoots is my primary reason for carrying it. I have been keeping my eye out for an affordable (Relatively speaking) double stack 9mm single action. Maybe this is the gun I've been waiting for.
" Even a Springfield XD if you swing that way" pissed myself

It's a scam
Great review of a great looking gun. I know it makes more sense to purchase a Glock considering both guns perform pretty much the same. But this gun isn't about just the way it performs in the field. This gun is also about quality craftsmanship and great looking aesthetics. This is the kind of gun you buy when you want to treat yourself to something nice and splurge a little. I'll be searching for this gun locally so I can feel it in the hand before buying. But if I like what I see I won't hesitate to purchase as my next carry.
What you need to understand is you shouldn’t have to wonder if your gun will go boom when you need it to. Hoping that a firearm won’t jam (like 1911s do) hasn’t proven reliable enough. We’re not comparing when your daddy had one while in the military. They also had big ole flaps over the holsters back then.. Times change….
@@mrsincere4640 I agree, and I would never put a gun in my holster that has not sent plenty of lead down range and been thoroughly put through its paces by me. I know a few guys who carry 1911's and for them it is their gun of choice. I'm very aware of the reputation of 1911s jamming but at the same token I own a Kimber Micro Nine that has sent thousands of rounds down range without a hitch. I've even carried it on occasion. Generally, my edc is a striker fired Hellcat. I tell people shoot what's right for you. If it's what you like, it performs well, and it goes boom when you pull the trigger, then power to you.
You know, it seems like you see so many different guns, it's really hard to make you excited, or even impressed. Kind of speaks volumes when you are eager to show us something.
the barrel has so much fluting, it's the ultimate Jethro Tull fan EDC gun lol
Lol underrated comment here
Hey aqualung!!
Nice one
BROOOO!!! YOUR comment KILLED ME! 😂🤣😂
Love the comment. Sadly only Tull fans know how awesome it is.
The new Gen of the SAS II U/L has a reduced beaver tail and bobbed hammer. BUL also makes its own optic for their pistols. Gun now comes in a zippered attaché type case with two magazines instead of a pelican type case. MSRP is now about $200.00 more. Fit and finish are impeccable. Priority 1 Holsters makes holsters for this pistol. Thirty-Seven is not old.

Ok, I just subscribed on the strength of two Awesome videos on the B.1301 and how you 'wised-up' and broke down to fall in love with the 1911. (or 2011 Bull) What a Sweet gun. I've been shooting IPSC/USPSA going on 33 yrs. I'm now using a Para Ordinance tricked out as much as one can for Limited Class, 3-1/2 lbs. trigger and still old school in 45 acp. Started with 9mm but made the move Backwards to 45 once the Hi Caps arrived. Only us older guys favor 45 it seems. It's all good. Your vids are impressive and I have to find out more about your Channel. Also would like to take that shotgun course as I've never competed in 3-gun matches. Now I must start to binge watch your previous shows. Nice.👍

Thats a match.
Two problems with that:
1) Archer carries a Walther PPK. The character would rather not deal with an overrated piece of plastic with an awful trigger.
2) James already auditioned and his Glock fired glitter, making him entirely too ghey:

@The Lone Tourist sadly yes
Same here....lots of range time with two Norinco 1911's.....neither jams.....ever....all I ever did to mine was toss a set of Wolff springs...
What is a good 1911 for a first time pistol buyer who is willing to spend up to $600? That would be me btw. I want something reliable and on the more compact size but still packs a punch.
@@CantTreadOnMe You should buy a Glock for sure, it's just too damn good to turn down for the price too. Also aftermarket parts are cheap and available everywhere, so you can experiment with it.

I’ve noticed with Wolf & Tul a lot of times it’s not a “hard primer” issue but rather the primer is set too low into the casing, causing the firing pin to not reach and impact the primer properly. I’d be curious if this was the issue. Most of the time it’s what I’ve seen.
Great review. Thanks!
Alternate title: “Glock shill finds 1911 he can’t sabotage.” 🤪

In all seriousness, how the hell does James manage to get every 1911 he touches to be unreliable? I find that very hard to believe. I’ve owned a pretty cheap hunk of steel (Taurus) and not once did it ever malfunction more than one time. Used cheap steel cased ammunition on a cold February morning at 5°, one stovepipe. That’s it. Perhaps we need to consider operator error?
@@MightyMaynes No matter what gun you have you need to run it to malfunction. I like that you added the caveat "more than once at a time" That whole "It never malfunctioned on me" shit makes me angry lol.

@@MightyMaynes stovepipes usually are caused by an undertensioned extractor. They need to be tuned properly, and the combination of crap metal and cost cutting makes this common.

@@DSiren exactly in what world are 1911s unreliable? Dude does not have much experience with 1911s other than maybe cheap no names if he honestly believes 1911s are unreliable because I've never shot a 1911 that wasn't reliable amd same goes for every person I know
@@dewdrummer4384 the parts have to be really far out of tolerance for a 1911 to be unreliable, yet some 2000s production 1911s are absolute garbage. Thing is, I'm pretty sure most of the time when you have an unreliable 1911 you can make it reliable by putting a couple thousand rounds through it lol.
@@DSiren yeah definitely or by upgrading mags. Most manufacturers also recommend at least a 500 rd break in too to solidify fit but even before breaking in I've had no failures whatsoever on my 1911s they're the most reliable guns I've shot.
@@dewdrummer4384 It's a solid design. Just a shame it's single stack all the way down. Even just bumping capacity up to 10+1 rds would be a substantial improvement and make the choice much easier. Right now trigger safeties are a dealbreaker for me, so no glocks ever. 2011s are a bit overpriced for how few changes they had to make over the 1911A1. I'd understand 800-1200 for a time while you're trying to pay off redesign and the cost of new machine tools, but they're never going to get the purchase volume to become a carry staple with prices like that - which is a catch 22 since they need the purchase volume to reduce prices :/.
James just found your channel. Your commentary is well delivered, succinct, to the point and enjoyable to listen to.
Oh buddy you gotta know this; 37 is close to 45 which is close to 55 which is close to the big 6 0. It will go by before you know it. Trust me I’m a 1911 guy. As far as carry I think what’s most important is that you are comfortable, competent and confident in the one you carry. For me it’s a Wilson Combat professional.
Great video and a great lil gun. I'm looking at this maker for my first firearm. How do you feel about the Bul Armory SAS II VIPER?

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
1911 enthusiasts probably wouldn’t like the DA/SA
Just recently tried this wolf 100rd back to back test with both this and my g19 gen5 i think you will be surprised with which pistol the light primer strikes ends being more prevalent. I also noticed after a good range day of 250rds through my glock that it started to ftf as it got dirty, the bul never missed a beat.
I think the reality of carrying a 1911 is accepting that you aren’t [insert movie or war hero of choice here] - I often carry my single stack .45 1911, or my Kahr K40, wait for it... without any reloads. I don’t live in Chicago or Compton. It’s not a high crime area, I’ve carried for nearly a decade and only ever drawn down on someone on two occasions and never had to fire a shot. If I wind up in a situation where I need a full size high capacity optic mounted laser and flashlight equipped combat/competition firearm with two reloads and somewhere around 50 rounds of ammo.... there have been some eyebrow cocking life decisions made that led to that point. In my day to day travels the comfort and concealability of a single stack firearm inside the waistband simply cannot be beat. And at 200+ lbs, I’m not crying about a few extra ounces for a metal frame that I won’t notice until it’s in my hand contributing to a smoother, better, more accurate shooting experience. I’m no boomer, but with a bum knee, and a love for my 1911, I’ll happily sit on a porch in a rocking chair with some
Sweet tea enjoying the comfort of my EDC of choice keeping me company.
James: the only person in the world that doesn’t want a 1911.
Doesn't want one, and can afford it.
I want ONE....but it'll cause a DIVORCE😳😳😒😒
A 1911 is as good as its owner and his training. However, to protect your home, get a short barrel shot gun. NEVER aim just point and shoot. You will have to use spackling to fill in the holes in the wall

ThatGuy67 The main advantage is the single action trigger.
😀😀😀😀😀
James needs to change his name to Jill.
I understand that lower round count and weight aren’t in the 1911s favor. But In my opinion, most people can shoot even cheap 1911s out the box much better than any polymer gun. The trigger pull on even low end 1911s is lighter and crisper than most other guns. Hands down, I always shoot better with my 1911s. I have the Springfield micro 1911, but I generally carry my XDS 9mm most days. One of the main reasons being that I don’t feel nearly as bad when I drop or dirty up a polymer gun. But I WILL ALWAYS love the 1911 for it’s shooting characteristics.
I just started carrying my original Canadian Para Ordnance P12-45. Did the old "will it jam?" by adding some crappy steel case ball ammo. Flawless...many many mags later. I am sure you can relate....change guns like seasons for carrying. The Para is coming around for winter.
What I could never understand about 1911s is how often people say their unreliable but the us miltary went through 2000 rounds with 0 malfunctions when they adopted it, was it the ammo?
Thank god for JM Browning. Ive heard non feed ramp 1911 can have trouble w hollow point. My modern smith and paras will feed anything. Just run 230 ball. Its what its made for. And works great in that form.
alligatorpear you can have a non hand fit 1911 and it will function better than the old ones the old ones sighs were terrible and the hand fit it’s not the best I’ll take any 1911 better than the old one
1911s at that time were designed for ball ammo...run a quality 1911 on ball you'll have no issues.
I love the way he explained his way out of being “Glock 4 Life Sucka!”.
Don't be fooled by the Glocks that he's got, he's still Jimmy from the block.
I really love your reviews, this one in particular because I’ve been through the same thing. I bought and now love a Wilson Combat EDC x9, I love love my Phoenix Trinity Morph, but both are a tad to meaty to conceal all day so I just bought the ultra light. I am thinking of doing a comparison between the three.
Good to see an honest review, impressive firearm that Bul.
Hey James, a quick note on the slide release:
JMB designed it to be hit with the support thumb after inserting the fresh mag. It's not meant to be hit with your firing hand, like most modern handguns.
Yes, it's a slide stop, not a slide release.
@@jtinnac1895 look at a 1911. There's checkering/knurling on the top side of the slide release, it's put there to improve traction. It is absolutely intended to be used as a slide release, just not with the firing hand.
Being a 2011 you have to have some big ass mits to hit the slide stop with your firing hand. That is a common 2011 phenomenon. Most 2011's are used as competition guns and most of us have either a cut slide stop or non-lockback followers. Very few competitors utilizing it. With a 1911 and standard grip panels you can get your firing thumb on the pad of it.
I did not know that. I've always wondered why they're so far fucking forward. Makes sense
@@jtinnac1895
And what "instructor" fed you that BS?
James, I own quite a few 1911s and I've had nothing but good luck with mine. I can honestly say in the thousands of rounds thru all of them and have had next to nothing for issues. My Sig Scorpion 1911 is in my EDC rotation. I've literally had one problem with that one and it was a magazine. I clean an oil them more than any of my other guns granted but I can say that I, can can trust in them 100%.
That said this Bul Armory 1911 looks freaking awesome. I am going to their website right now to look at their products and see if there is an FFL near me that has one so that I can get one today or tomorrow. You are only the second person I've seen talk about it, the other one bring a guy that shoots at my local range and that was just a couple of weeks ago. Looked good, shot well from what I saw. Thanks for sharing.
@@snek9353, I'm going to my FFL to see if they can get me a price and order it for me.
@@DMalenfant1, that's not a nice thing to say and I'm personally offended by your comment. That's small and immature of you to say such a derogatory response about an individual. Grow up and get out of the Dark Ages, this is 2020.
Thank you for this video man
Finally somebody talks price looking forward to sharing your video
That's a very pretty gun! Has the traditional 1911 silhouette, which is always cool, but has an updated modern/tactical aesthetic that doesn't take it too far and go into the mall ninja territory. Pretty neat.
That’s what I was thinking . It’s liek retro futuristic/modern if that makes any sense
Well said.
James, felt same way; have a commander Colt 1911 Mark IV and FS 1911(also ammo finicky). Put up my 2 1911s in safe and bought HK45 for winter and HKp30SK for Warmer weather; both models of HK have cocked and locked ability.
Yes, they are Israeli. John Browning is alive and watching this video on a secret island with 2Pac. He just dumped his martini in the sand after watching this video.
TFB TV , from one attorney to another, having used handgun in a defensive situation and sitting for 2 days giving testimony in a civil deposition, the optics of a “light” trigger may be potentially difficult to explain to a jury. I assure you, when one has that “Adrenaline dump” pulling out one’s handgun to shoot, one won’t notice the difference between a heavy vs “light” trigger.
@@herman66mi83
Criminal was stopped.
You are alive!
The attorney had to work.
@vic vapor if so the trigger is not important... Just the color of the criminal.
Great video, as usual!
Great review. Thank you
Just went to their website to look for pricing. They rather you contact them. I tried to contact them but went no where. So that's a lost sale lol
Our website is under construction. Where did you try to reach us? you can email me directly at ben@bularmory.com and I'll help you with whatever you need.
i looked around on gun broker and it looks like your going to be spending around the $1500 - $2500 price range. so its a pricey boy.
@@longleaf1217 Try the new STIs 1699 new. Or I've found used from 1200-1600
Jp arms. It’s 1300. A little research never hurts
You all know of a carry 1911 style less then $700?
Okay someone please tell me about the 1911 jam meme. I've only had my 1911 jam once and that's because the main spring was 112 years old and after I replaced it the gun runs fine
It's well balanced original design that has been produced by so many different manufacturers that everyone's making them to their own specs, most people are using them outside of the intended operation parameters, there's a serious issue regarding magazine feed lips and the type of ammo they were designed to feed, plus the first generations of hollowpoints sucked ass and uncontrolled feed pistols gained popularity over the 1911. The 1911's use of controlled feeding had a wrench thrown into the system with differing bullet shapes and feed lips. Uncontrolled feeding pistols are a little more forgiving.
Comparison, USGI mags for ball ammo vs wadcutter feed lips for semi-wadcutter bullets:

@@averageodd 9mm kimbers have problems. My mother owns one and it stovepiped a lot. Low grain ammo and some spring thingy were the cause. I don't know the precise details because I was too occupied with my dad's ww2 1911 lol.
Overwatch That's why it never jammed, at 112 years old it's just about broken in
Overwatch basically most new production 1911s have way tighter clearances than ever originally intended causing FTEs and FTFs and kimbers are the worst offenders
One guy told me it was because the magazine notch was cut wrong. High priced magazines corrected that. I know I have less issues with Wilson Combat mags compared to USGI 1911 magazines.
Ooo, ooo! I know Port Sulphur; my Grandfather's hometown 😁 Used to fish there about twice a year.
"Alright I'm gonna take my 1911 and go get my hip replaced." That's why I watch you, James.
I carry a Dan Wesson ECO in 9mm for the same reasons you’ve discovered here. It shoots amazing. It’s reliable. The only thing it lacks is capacity. Now I’m thinking hard about that Bul. 🤔
I want a vbob in 9mm 😍
@@juanvaldez6321 I had been looking at getting a Dan Wesson TCP until I saw this video (maybe a year ago). I ended up getting the SAS II UL.
Give ya credit for giving it a fair review. I will no longer accuse you of being a shill or a glock fanboy
Being able to change your mind in light of new information is a valuable skill.
Awesome review like I said in a previous comment. I’m looking forward to shooting this one. I guess you have joined the club the old men after all! LOL . Funniest ending to a review video yet!
Damn! Your wife said it was one of the ugliest guns she'd ever seen? Uglier than a Glock? Almost no handgun is uglier than a Glock.
That said, I don't like the sights. I prefer 3-dot Trijicon sights. But maybe that's just me
Hi point? Or that single shot 9mm where the barrel threads off to reload
Highpoint is way uglier than a Glock
@Marino my man!
@stevenjlawson preach!
Beretta Pico
"If you swing that way..." Says the man wearing booty shorts...
I'd rather have a stick than a glock
partssman1 I’d rather have a high point than a glock come on man have some standards in shit alternatives
Hahaha thats funny.
You mean tactical daisy dukes.
BURN
I didn't believe that you were a lawyer until I did some research. The write up I read about you was highly impressive plus you run TFB TV. Very, very impressed.
Love the look of it, I would consider carrying that for sure.
Your wife Lindsey has a strange eye. Gun looks pretty damn nice IMO.
Rock River has a compact 45 ACP 1911 with a double stack 10 round magazine, seriously! Review that!!
Earl Lee I don’t think para is a thing anymore. Or I would have bought one.
th-cam.com/video/YSsP2yFbEpo/w-d-xo.html holy fuck he was right.
@@nelsonr1467 well it's kinda hard to buy anything from a manufacturer who's no longer manufacturing.
Nelson R they were bought by the same group that owns remington and liquidated. I have a Para .45 LDA and it is a great little gun, not a 1911 except in looks, but a great shooter that has nothing to envy from the single action trigger.
Ive got a 14/45 love it. A 4.25 ltc. U know kimber and caspian bought frames from para to build their doubles on.
Damn, thanks for the review. Very impressive, especially the price point to features. Comes in at less than half the stacatto C, you should do a comparison of the two if you can!
I was wondering the same thing about the Bul vs STI. Would LOVE to hear James opinion. That dude could sell a ketchup sandwich to a girl in a prom dress! If being a lawyer doesn’t work out he could sell cars!
I am NOT into sub-compact 1911s and I am NOT into 9mm 1911s... But this cutie just tickled both of those itches I didn't know I had... Cool gun.
