all inside parts sear,hammer, disco and new trigger with flat/curve  inserts  are bul designed parts much better than  from extr. engineering  parts.

inside /outside finish much better than sti dvc line.

I just got back from Bul, got to handle the Bullesteros for a bit.
The grip is awesome, the texturing is actually quite mild but feels good.

The barrel+comp design is interesting, the two "poppers" are actually part

of the barrel and are on an "island" so the barrel is longer than it seems, not the comp.

 

New trigger feels a bit nicer than my x-line trigger kit too. (and the flat short

trigger shoe is a god send for my small hands)

 

Full details and many more pictures: Right here.

Anyone have a guess-timate how much the top shooters are getting to make a change like this?

I’m friends what a guy who was a top shooter in the late 80s though the 90s into the mid 2000s and he said each sponsorship was worth about 10k. Sti would give him enough parts to build like 3 guns each year. Montana gold would give him 100k bullets plus set him as a distributor for them so he could make extra money. All the guys make most of their money doing classes at 1000 bucks a day plus expenses.

Wonder what the lower front grip screw is for?

 

It's a two piece design, you can see where the two pieces meet.  But it was seamless

and smooth. You can tell a gunsmith did the final touches and not a machine.

The grip is interesting. All the pockets on the slide, not pleasing to my eye. I think different cuts up top that contrast from the grip would accent both better. As is, my first impression is a big chrome golf ball. But that is just aesthetics. If it shoots & holds up, that’s the most important thing.

It does not like an island barrel.
A one-pice trubor design?

BUL Armory has been the unknown in North America. They are now being strong contenders in the open market with strong reliable guns at affordable prices. Have been researching them the last couple of months and they seem to be a strong company which is dominating the Open market in Europe.
