Trentmopar Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Wish they had better distributors in the US. I tried a couple companies but they don't have much information and there is little to know information on available replacement parts and magazines. They seem like a great gun too!

Gparms.com is a great us distributor for Bul and Gilbert knows everything about them and parts etc. Give him a holler. We spoke for about an hr on the different models. Helped me decide which to get . Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trentmopar Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Thanks man! I have waiting for them to get a bit bigger in the US. I bought an M&P when they first came out and had such a hard time finding accessories (holsters, mag pouches, etc) that I told myself never again. Doesn't mean that I don't keep oogling the BUL though. I want one bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rains987 Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 I understand that trying to find accessories is a pain on certain firearms. Good thing that bul uses it's own mag design and can order online and MBX makes a mag for the bul line which makes it easier to get em . But definitely give him a call and see if he can put them worries at ease. You won't regret getting one . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tke37617 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Gilbert Perez is a dealer for BUL in East Tennessee. He keeps a large selection on hand at any time. They are very well built. I shoot STI and Atlas. The BUL is a step above the STI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jschweg Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 It seems like they are making a big push in the US, they have been all over the USPSA facebook page for the last few months. Their base level limited gun looks nice, and at 2k, maybe it could fill the void now that the edge is gone for that division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frigpig Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I finally had a chance to feel one up (not shoot it) and I was pleasantly surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posvar Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 I think Chris Tilley is shooting for them now and is also a US distributor. He’s in North Carolina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Well, it looks like BUL has come a long way in a short amount of time, if 20 years is a short amount of time....that's how long they were building Kimber and for the military in Israel and a very quiet company called "Magnum Research" making specialty firearms... I ran across them a few months ago at a gun store in Greenville SC where they had a beautiful new stainless steel 1911 flying the flag of the "Desert Eagle 1911U" ... it's an 8 shot with a 3 inch barrel that fires off 45ACP -- and it's been dead on the money quickly and quietly after 550 rounds -- besides it looks great with those G-10 grips in silver, grey and black wrapping around the handle. I'm kind of a 1911 freak, I already have 3 1911's with big names.. but I was so impressed with my DE1911U, I'm having one built as we chat.... it's a BUL Armory 1911 Classic ULTRA with a 3.25 barrel in stainless, with a gold titanium nitrate barrel with the matching trigger and the G-10 grips in OD green in the "slash and burn" style, with the golden titanium Torx grip screws to match the barrel and trigger -- this is a custom Officer size 9MM to match my hand and grip........ for a lot less than $1,500 dollars. Gilbert Perez is the distributor in this part of the country, he's super knowledgeable and patient. he's been a professional shooter for the last 30 years and knows his stuff 1-865-235-8629 Gparms.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arkadi Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 I shot a number of 9 Open and 40 cal BUL guns. I was not impressed. It could be that out of the box they pale side-by-side with well running SVI and STI guns but I'm not buying. In case you decide on metal grip - you absolutely must handle one in-person first. It's too rounded - feels narrow, and slippery; the machining is about looks not function. Totally different style than modern 2011 grip. The grip itself is a two-piece part. Not like SVI grip where trigger guard is a separate part, but there are right and left pieces. They are well matched together thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not like SVI grip where trigger guard is a separate part, but there are right and left pieces. They are well matched together thought. Have you shot any BUL's in the last 2 years...? .. it's a changing world. My neighbor has 2 STI's and not too happy with them.. one is the Executive 14+1 40S&W 5.0 which he carried for his business and that's been in the shop twice because of a ejector issue with only 30 rounds and his STI Staccato XC that's been back in the shop for a extractor problem with less than 50 rounds ... neither one would be back in the shop if they were properly handled at the factory with quality control measures... so over $7,000 spent for headaches, time to change brands. Steel grips.? ... most police/military officers won't carry them for the simple reason if you need to pull your gun and it's hot with humidity or damp from rain or sweat, there's a real good chance you'll never get a firm grip -- it's like grabbing for a wet golf club with a steel shaft - it's nonsense, you got nothing. The best grips right now are the G10's... you can have them cut sliced or diced in any color or any grip angle and made perfect for anyone's hand size and thickness - and the weather or the humidity or the rain or the double cheeseburger won't hurt them. There's a guy in Ohio who is an artist with them "Matt Stoner CNC" and he does great work for very fair prices, check out his sight:www.stonercnc.com - Edited December 5, 2019 by Simpson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
