Was shown that same pistol at a local gun store, and "Fell in Love" with it. Then I noticed it was only a 9 mm...! Guy said "Wait a Minute", and came back with a .45. Well, I couldn't decide which one to get (and the salesman said "You only go around once!"), so I put both on the card (Hell, it's Only MONEY, he said!). Haha! Both shoot extremely well, and nearly as accurate in my "Big Front Paws", as my SA Ronin .45 at 33 feet (10 meters). (Not "knocking" Kimber, but had one for over a year that I couldn't shoot very well at ALL with it, so sold it and got the Ronin, my Favorite pistol!) Best "Bang for the Buck" are the Bul pistols, in my books! Check'em OUT ! ! !
I did a little work on my kimbers and they work very well for me but one of the best firing 1911 I have owned I have to say it’s my spring field armory 1911 champion I have own this pistol for over 15 years I will post a review soon
@@joseRivera-kr7kb I did have a Kimber 1911, in .45 acp. Kinda liked the gun, but didn't shoot well for me (bought it used, so don't know the "History" of it!). Traded it in for a Springfield Ronin, in .45 (plus some $$$...!), and it's one of the best shooters I have. To make ANY 1911 shoot a little smoother, I use Gun Butter on the trigger actions - reduces the pressure by at least a pound..! Use Sparingly.
I came across the 5" Government Bul at a gun show and had to get it. Bought for a very decent price out the door. It's super accurate and very, very well made. The fit and finish is excellent. Beautiful to look at and fantastic to shoot. At 18feet 3 rounds in about the same hole accurate.
Jose, thanks for a excellent vid and review brother. Never heard of BUL before so I learned something great this morning. Been looking for a 9mm 1911 so will now be checking those out also. Thanks again.
Popped up in my research. A year later what do you think? I have not been able to clearly understand how the internals are manufactured. Tool Steel, MiIM, or Cast. I get the slide frame and barrel. I carry a 1911 and in the camp of No MIM allowed to bet my assets on. As a range gun it looks great. All my 1911's are Range guns, All my 1911's get Carried. To each their own on their views. The one thing to note is how well they are manufactured. The example i was finally able to hold and inspect was well made. They are difficult to find. I'm not sure it I appreciate BUL's sales model which seems like a "Custom" approach. I expect a lot out of ANY firearm no matter the price point. Just going pow and functioning well is not the only factors for purchase. When I see them used they disappear quickly. That says something. Edit: Read some of the comments about magwell's. I recommend the Stan Chen SI. They are functional and in most cases appear blended after install. They work great on several of mine.
I used the spring, plunger and screw that came with the Bul commander in The Ed Brown Magwell. It would not engage the grip safety, so I sent it back and bought another Magwell. This time I ordered a spring and plunger too. No luck either! I even used the original spring and plunger in the new mainspring housing. I’m returning this one too…… Don’t know why the only one that works is the original….. guess I won’t be able to install a Magwell. :(
Just got my BUL 1911 Commander 9mm, only gripe is the tool provided to capture guide rod during disassembly is inadequate. but a paperclip works too. Added a matching Wilson Combat magwell and will probably replace front site next with a high viz tritium or truglo.
Just as many 9mm 1911s are offered with standard diameter barrels as bull barrels. I have (3) 1911s in 9mm: Ruger SR1911 Lightweight Commander-type, Kimber stainless ProCarry, and SA Ronin Operator 4.25. Only the Kimber has a bull barrel.
Just got this same Bul, it’s better than expected. Great quality and shoots amazing. I’m very happy for the money it’s great quality. Could you post a link for the mag well thank you
Dear sir you can look up magwell a lot of websites pop up I buy Ed brown or Wilson combat www.opticsplanet.com/ fusionfirearms.com/parts/frame-parts/mainspring-housing-mag-wells?amp=1
That Springfield is nice carry COMMANDER size sir I had one I m a Gunsmith myself. I have a commander Colt Delta Elite 10mm 4.25inch Bobbed and Springfield Emissary Bobbed .45acp 4.25inch COMMANDER carry i bobbed both myself using dremel pen 5v portable. It wasn’t easy to do slide relief cut for bushing fitting on colt 10mm but I done it 10-15times before. It looks good like Dan Wesson’s series 10mm and fired 75rounds no issues so far very happy. NOT SELLING IT FOR A WHILE LOL
Great review Sir! I just purchased the Bul in 9 mm. I am looking to change the front sight to a fiber optic. Just wondering if you have changed yours yet? Thank You for the GREAT review. I have a Springfield Custom from 2001, SWEET shooter!!!
It's an excellent firearm!..... Just purchased one!............ where did you get the magwell ???? I bought the Ed Brown Mainspring + Magwell...... But it will not work!!.... It does NOT allow the grip safety to work.
I purchased the G10 grips on Amazon made for extended magwell on the 1911 I have yet to install the tru glow sights that I purchased months ago I have been a little off on other projects but as soon as I install them I will post a video
I have one of these beauties as well. Installed a Stan Chen magwell on mine and really like the rounded profile of it, doesn't bite into my palm like others I've had.
The sights suck, no light rail and no red dot and only 9 rounds. I will still get the government stainless steel model for a range toy but nothing else.

Sorry for late reply, Bul is a great choice you can also look into the Kimber rapide dawn 9mm also a great pistol let me know what you get
I LOVE LOVE LOVE mine I bought it in 9mm first and after shooting it for a month I needed it in 45ACP so I sold all my other 1911 and only had these 2
these are great 1911 very well made high quality pistols
Good luck finding this gun anywhere right now. I’ve been looking for a couple of months.
Have you tried online I found this web site that has it in stock right now weeddyz.com/product/bul-armory-1911-commander-price/

Bul Armory also makes 1911s for Magnum Research.
1911 The Best pistol ever invented. I own 4.
I love 1911
Just got my BUL 1911 Commander 9mm, only gripe is the tool provided to capture guide rod during disassembly is inadequate. but a paperclip works too. Added a matching Wilson Combat magwell and will probably replace front site next with a high viz tritium or truglo.
I would get the truglo TFX Pro front and rear set

Racked a Bul 10 mm 3 weeks ago at a gun shop in Oregon , $999.00
Felt like it was on ball bearings .
Went back for it and it was sold
That is my favorite caliber I love the 10mm. To bad you didn’t get it pistol’s like Bul won’t last if you see it get it they are highly thought after
Man… I want this but I have sig p220 elite stainless 10mm,Big Rock pro match ultra 6” double stack 10mm, and S&W 629 talo 3” polished 44 mag.
Nice gun, nice collection sir.

I purchased truglo tfx pro for it but i havent installed it yet as soon as i install will do a vid on it
I wish I could find one
The marksman makes the pistol more accurate.
Looking for the grips on the American Classics 1911 pistol in this video. Are they original or added?
Nice review I just bought one myself by the way you sound a lot like mike Tyson
Cool, thanks
Hi there... Looks like a super nice pistol. Was wondering if it comes with a ramped barrel?
Yes it’s a bull barrel and it’s ramped
I like 1911 wow 😳
What are the sight heights on it? I have the sas 2 and want to installed standard height sights
It's an excellent firearm!..... Just purchased one!............ where did you get the magwell ???? I bought the Ed Brown Mainspring + Magwell...... But it will not work!!.... It does NOT allow the grip safety to work.
Can you show me what you did
If I do recall not sure if it was the bull you have to swap the plunger use the bull plunger on the Ed brown
Trigger is very important, why not mentioned?
Nice review, where did you purchase those grips? Did you ever install the Tru Glo sights?
I purchased the G10 grips on Amazon made for extended magwell on the 1911 I have yet to install the tru glow sights that I purchased months ago I have been a little off on other projects but as soon as I install them I will post a video
Have same gun where did u get the Magwell from
Great looking pistol ! What scales came on it ?
the burp at 2:21 was fun :)
I have one from Bull Armory in 45 cal and it has yet to jam on me
Hey where did you get your gun case from I need one of those for my 3 1911s I just bought the Springfield 10mm ronin nice shooter

@@joseRivera-kr7kb Ok thank you :)
hello, I have the same gun, which magwell did you install ?
I installed a Ed brown main spring housing with magwell
I have one of these beauties as well. Installed a Stan Chen magwell on mine and really like the rounded profile of it, doesn't bite into my palm like others I've had.
@@Poseidon-yb1oo those Stan Chen look very well made I will consider those in the future thank you
is that a 4 inch barrel?
It’s a 4.25 barrel
The sights suck, no light rail and no red dot and only 9 rounds. I will still get the government stainless steel model for a range toy but nothing else.
How does it shoot?
This gun shoot’s really well recoil is minimal shot group at 30 yards about 2.5 inch target reacquired quickly feel good in the hand excellent firearm
American classic

A Jewish built 1911. Probably hoards its own ammo.
