See if you can find an STI Edge.
Awesome pistols.... and should be around USD 1.500,- I believe.
Great guns from a time STI still had quality products (in my humble opinion)
I absolutely love mine. Bought it six months ago and it runs flawlessly..................

I agree with you. I recently tested 3 STI guns, one shot about 200K and 2 others about 100K. Only one of them had a crack in the frame( 100K) , something that can be easily repaired. all of them shoot 9mm factory ammo.
Some of the pistols from the same category of other companies, which I tested after 15K looked much worse than STI, that shot 200 K

I’m pretty sure Bul has their own proprietary grip and mags. So doubtful it would work.
Their mag release is different from STI.

I don't understand the design considerations when they made a V-groove along the slide and especially in the area of the ejection port opening.
other than that the gun looks nice.

Yep. But small mm bits normally have to be ordered. A proper drill press and vise is needed to make nice holes.
it's clear.
Simple when you have a bench lathe and also bench mill most of these jobs are simple.

There's the key. Hardened metal requires more than high speed steel bits to cut properly.
It may be easier to get the bits than TF parts.

I fitted a CZ extractor to my old small frame Tanfo. Main issue was to drill the pin hole larger. It was difficult due to the hard material. Otherwise not difficult at all. Needed to take some material off to avoid contact with the barrel. I assume the 9 mm extractor is the same for small and large frame Tanfos.
You just need to increase the extractor hole from 2 mm to 2.5 mm with appropriate equipment and make minor adjustments. It works but I avoid doing such things only when there is no choice. I only did it once.

I can't speak to why BUL would think a 13lb main spring would be reliable in a 1911/2011 style production pistol which would be exposed to a wide range of ammo and varied primer hardness's. Sounds like a dumb idea to me but what do I know.
I got mine with a chopped main spring. I replaced it with a 15lb spring.

A henning holster hanger will fix this issue
i use it for my bench mill

I also liked this gun. And I know it's made of good metal. and is an excellent basis for improvements.
Regarding Turkish products, I personally would not touch them. I remember Toyota cars, which were assembled in Turkey and would fall apart on the road within a year.

Does anyone know if DW will sell replacement frames? I accidentally dropped mine from about 4ft and the beaver tail is now bent... lol
According to the experiment you did, it failed the 4-ft test
So I no longer want to buy this type of gun.

Here is a link to some pics. The photos are right off of the CZ Custom IG account so they get all the credit.
Looks great. I see that this is a model that is manufactured in the USA and not in Europe. So I understand that it is made of metal, which is intended for firearms .

The pic offered by @GunBugBitdoes not do the EE Race Disconnector justice............
The contact surfaces come pre-polished:
i use EE parts and like them. but it's not 100% drop in set for my requirements. it needs some work for 100%
and after this it works perfect and long time.

This picture shows what’s unique about these disconnectors.
This disco urgently needs polishing.
Which company's part? It doesn't look like casting. The part looks good quality. but unfinished.
Because of all these problems, 6 years ago I managed to perfect the trigger system of the 1911 and it works for me in both guns with the trigger weight of 550 grams in one and 650 in the other without change.

From what you have described it sounds like more of a High Primer situation than anything. If the Primers are flush or protruding above the brass at all they are not seated deep enough. When the primers are seated to the proper depth they should be recessed a little bit vs the top of the brass.
High primers can also cause the slide to not fully lock up in the full forward position because the extractor hook depth is fighting against the brass rim because the primer is pinching against the breach face instead of the bottom of the brass. If the slide is unlocked even a little bit the hammer will fall against the bottom edge of the firing pin stop instead of the firing pin.
I came across something like this. I checked Headspace and saw that chamber was too tight. The problem was fixed and never reappeared.

So if it works 50/50, at least they should have given you a 50% discount.

Learn how to stone the sear, hammer and tune the sear spring tension.
Luckily I no longer need to tune this spring.

TGO runs very light triggers FWIW. He was annoyed when at a long-ago IPSC equipment-check the RO dropped the slide by accident, possibly beating up the hammer-sear a microscopic amount.
TGO ???
if u mean TSO their trigger system different from 1911 .
Power transfer ratio for the trigger pull in TSO around 1 to 4 and in 1911 1 to 1

It sub 2 lbs triggers are lasting 80k rounds without adjusting the spring, I'm not to worried about it either way. Generally I don't go under 2 anyway.
I've handled sub 1 lbs triggers, but I really don't see the point in that.
It also depends on the work on sear /hammer hooks for trigger job . Some guns will hold it and some will not.
