BenAlpha Posted March 3, 2019 Author Share Posted March 3, 2019 (edited) A sneak peak of the long awaited Bul stainless grip and the new comp/slide design they've been appartently working on with jorge. Cool. Edited March 3, 2019 by BenAlpha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yigal Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 (edited) 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.

trub7dur Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 (edited) It does look good. Wonder what the lower front grip screw is for? How is pricing compared to the regular Bul open gun? Edited March 3, 2019 by trub7dur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenAlpha Posted March 3, 2019 Author Share Posted March 3, 2019 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.

Balakay Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Anyone have a guess-timate how much the top shooters are getting to make a change like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funflyr Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 The Bul sure looks nice. I wonder if it holds up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

OPENB Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 (edited) 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. Edited March 4, 2019 by OPENB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abb1 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
