[@ginormousbones]

After watching James with TFB tv And your review I’m going to definitely get one. I’ve already contacted my local gun shop. Thanks wanna see more

[@JayMacklin]

ginormousbones you won’t regret it. Heading to the range now to shoot it more.

I watched James review the weapon also. I thought I had all the firearms I needed . . .

I have a Desert Eagle Undercover 45 made by BUL and the trigger is very nice, I like the looks of the SAS also. Thanks for the review.

[@bluepstu9009]

@@DerekDarcy Since the two big reviews have come out on this gun, people asked where to get this, and I have been listing the gparms.com website. I first saw this gun back in December and Gilbert had the only good website. Gilbert has been getting a lot of calls on it since the video reviews came out. I ordered mine in December and it took Gilbert about 4 weeks to get it in back then. That was before these two videos. The demand is getting very high for them now.

Expensive taste, good on you! Both are real nice 2011’s!

[@WheeledandWellArmed]

I got the Bul Armory Viper but was talking to Gilbert at GP Arms about this one first. Great video.

[@JayMacklin]

Wheeled & Well Armed Thank you!! I just got another one from him yesterday. The 1911 Officer Ultra in .45. I’ve always been a big STI fan but Bul is fast becoming my fav!!

[@WheeledandWellArmed]

@@JayMacklin My first pistol was a Browning Hi Power and insist on double stack. The last 25 years I have been shooting CZ and their clones. Have you seen or tried the SAR K2 46, 14 rounds in the full and compact, accurate and soft shooter. I'll video my new k2 45 compact in stainless steel today.

[@michaelmarrero8920]

Just ordered mine from gilbert looking at between 60/90 days wait. Cant wait to get in hand

[@Jasondranoff]

Great video. Fast forward a year later I'm waiting on the 2022s to come out the SAS optics ready 4.25 inch barrel I believe. never shot one of those. I hear they're amazing, especially for the money

[@JayMacklin]

I think the 2022’s will be more reliable and a better product.

[@Silent1Pinoy]

Jay, I too saw the reviews from TFB-TV and Sunday Gunday. I contacted two distributors, the one from GPArms in Tennessee and the distributor in Miami. They both said 30-90 days for delivery of the piece. I just want to confirm that you ordered on a Monday then received that Friday of the same week? Now mind you, I am adding the flat trigger kit and the flat hammer, so I could understand the longer wait.

[@JayMacklin]

Silent Pinoy yes, i contacted Gilbert on Saturday spoke to him on Monday and he said he had one available but i had to take it as is. Which happens to be exactly what I wanted. Didn’t want the stainless or the Viper. Otherwise I would have had to waited 90 days. He shipped it 2day shipping and I picked it up from my FFL on Friday.

[@Silent1Pinoy]

@@JayMacklin Ahhh, okay. Makes sense. This is the first 1911 pistol that I will have in my small, but growing, collection of arms. Thanks for the heads up.

[@rogerbussiii]

Do you know if i can get it cut for the rmr-c and not get the rmr? I heard the dot is a tad large and was gonna look into another dot that uses the same footprint.. i want a dot on it, and would prefer the cuts to be done by the factory but can i get my own dot or do i have to pay for the rmr if i want the slide cut for one?

[@billdanosky]

I like a smaller gun for concealed carry, but I worry people will think I don't have large hands. Would this make them seem larger?

Best Compact 9mm Ever❤

[@jdsolberg7613]

Looks awesome.

[@carllove3705]

I ordered mine around the beginning of May, and I can't wait to get it. I wasn't as lucky as you. Gilbert Perez at GParms didn't have one sitting on the shelf when I called. So I have to wait for the next production run and delivery from Israel. As I said, I can't wait to get it. In the mean time I am stuck watching videos about it. There aren't many about this gun. So have you had the chance to shoot it again? I don't know how you could go to the range with a new gun and only put 50 rounds through it. LOL. I would have had to have put a couple of hundred at least.

[@michaelmarrero8920]

Have you gotten it yet? I ordered mine may 27

[@carllove3705]

@@michaelmarrero8920 , No Michael, I haven't received it. I actually emailed Gilbert Perez a few days ago and he said that he is still waiting on the next shipment to arrive. He said he is hopeful that they may be arriving within a few weeks. We shall see. I actually ordered two guns from him. I ordered the SAS II Ultra Light in 9mm, and an SAS II FS in 45ACP. Looking forward to getting them both. I ordered a holster for them and I've already received the holster, but don't have the guns.

[@rogerbussiii]

I know you said you have fairly large hands and find the 15 round grip comfortable- having said that do you wish you would have got the 19 instead instead?

[@livewire2457]

Lovely guns man

[@zszs123]

Gorgeous tools

[@Popogolfer]

Mr Macklin, I apologize for contacting you this way but I have a question in relation to your TT Leather holster you show on you tube for the Staccato that also houses the Bul SAS 2 UL 45. I have the same Bul and the same TT leather holster. My question, do you have problems with the holster sliding down and pulling your trousers down due to the smoothness of the holster and the weight of the pistol? If so what do you do to prevent this. This is my favorite rig but I’m constantly pulling up my trousers from the weight. I also bought a holster for the same Bul from Rocky at Pure Kustom Holsters in Arizona and mentioned your name. He immediately said for you to quit putting different guns in the same holster!! Quite a character. Anyway if you can offer any suggestion please do since you seem to be the only other person on you tube with this holster. Sorry for the bother, Jamie Prather

[@JayMacklin]

Hi Jamie Sorry for the delay. Yes, the holster did have a bit of a pull but I wasn’t sure if it was the smooth holster texture or the design. What I found is that Rocky’s holster design has even better weigh distribution than TT gun leather does so the “pull” is very little. I carry a 45oz nighthawk in a Pure Kustom holster and I have zero issues with it yanking down the trousers. A good solid gun belt with Rocky’s holsters are all that I use now. Hope this helps.

[@heresyseed]

What would be better… Bul armory or a rock island armory with a Hayes custom “race ready “ package?

[@JayMacklin]

Good question. Never owned a RIA because they came from the Philippines and my assumption was they were not good quality. After owning a BUL Armory I realized that the name is a marketing USP. (Unique selling proposition) so your assumption of build quality is solely based on marketing and reviews.

[@abhishekguharoy3416]

Please do try make a video on bul armory sas ii FS

Sup jay! Been looking to get one of these but no where here has it. 🤣

[@carllove3705]

I just ordered one of these fine pistols from Gilbert Perez at GParms in Tennessee. It could be a while before it actually arrives at my local gun store, but he says production is on schedule and he pre ordered a bunch of them. Hopefully I'll get mine within a month or so. I can't wait. Jay Macklin, were you able to get TT Gunleather to make you a holster for it? I like leather holsters too.

[@JayMacklin]

Carl Love awesome!!! Yes, the holster is the Mikes Special. You list STI Staccato C but in the notes tell him it’s for the Bul Armory SAS with a 3.1” barrel. I have one for the Staccato C and it fits the Bul perfectly.

I enjoy this pistol but two issues. 1. Can not get mags for it. My distributor is tired of hearing from me cause doesn’t even answer now.(Gilbert) Any body know who to contact? The grip is not great. Slippery and not that ergonomic. Can it be modified or changed? Sweet trigger and very accurate. Light. Nice nice pistol. Ideas?

Also, people need to know GP is NOT the only dealer for these guns. Not that they are bad folks by any means but Iconic Arms is a top notch dealer and like i said in another comment Ofir is Israeli and knows these guys on a personal level and he's an incredibly knowledgable resource when it comes to Bul and firearms in general. Just wanted folks to know there are choices when it comes to Bul.

Hey Jay, thx for the review. I'm curious about recoil. How does this compare to the recoil of similar class firearms. It's subjective, which i get, but in your estimation, how is the muzzle flip,? is it snappy? Ive ended up maganaporting certain handguns but others (i.e.Glock 26) are fine out of the box. Thanks!

[@JayMacklin]

RumTumDrumR great question. It’s extremely soft and light. Because it’s a 1911/2011 the weight of the slide is VERY manageable given the size. I shoot almost exclusively Federal TSJ action pistol 150 grain rounds and it’s like a .22 amazing ammo

Sir what is the leght of barrel? Thanks

[@KristopherChoi]

How would you compare it to the Staccato C?

[@JayMacklin]

Kris Choi, well just bought a C2 which I think it will compares well with. The C is still a bit more accurate and that’s because of the barrel length but I really like the full size grip on the SAS.

[@timmothygilbert3103]

I just ordered mine. What kydex holster came with it?

Do you have a glock 19 can you compare it? Interested in thickness.

Michael Pronchick I don’t. But the Staccato C is almost exact size as the 19. Slightly thinner than a Glock. My guess would be that the SAS would be slightly thicker than a 19.
