Bul Armory's New 2011s for 2024

[@NightwoodGuns]

Bul Armory has recently become my favorite manufacturer. Great showing for 2024! Can't wait!

[@DylanHaslam]

What websites do you recommend to get one ordered from? I’ve been looking at switching to one of these. Currently have a C2.

[@NightwoodGuns]

@@DylanHaslam Only on their official U.S. Store site. Low supply, high demand so you’ll have to sign up for email notifications. Other than that you can sometimes get lucky on G-Broker.

[@Buletspunge555]

​@@DylanHaslam direct order from Bul and have it shipped to your FFL. Sign up for notifications when stock drops and be prepared to jump immediately when you get the emails. Last weeks drop of ported Tac models sold out in a few hours, but the standard Tac models were in stock for days. Might still be actually. I talked to a very open FFL a few weeks back that said Sports South wholesalers had a deal with Bul Armory that fell though. As such there was still a limited amount of guns available for FFLs with accounts to purchase. The prices were higher than going direct though. Seems like Bul is trying to direct distribute to the consumer now.

[@GoGators2300]

@@DylanHaslam Directly from its USA website. It ships from FL. They run out fast. I got a TAC PRO 4.25.

[@sampsonlll1825]

Ben absolutely nails it! 99% of everyone that covers shot should learn from Ben on how to properly present. Although Shaw did do a great job this year (esp with the space suit*)

[@den_see]

I like it that this company listens. Reasonably priced too.

[@eliteviktor3]

High capacity, easy to conceal. Will sell alot for sure.

[@donaldist7321]

I was waiting for a new version of the UL Comp because the current gun is made soooo ugly by the pig snout comp. It is funny that the other companies are simply ignoring customers

[@jonathonbridges9625]

Eh they've entered the upper range of "affordable". The popularity certainly has helped that price climb.

[@Xeonerable]

Ben gets right to the points that I usually wanna hear without any fluff or bullshit. I like his style.

[@justenzo928]

If Bull can keep up with the production demand, these guns are gonna be hot in 2024

[@carlpaladino427]

Every time i check for an SAS ultralight they are out of stock. Not sure how they will keep these in stock.

[@Cactus_Hugger7]

Love my Cherokee, best value I've ever gotten out of a carry-size handgun.

[@John_Redcorn_]

Yep. Im very ‘bullish’ on these new guns 😏

[@timemoney3915]

Lmao watching how popular bul has become makes be hella happy I grabbed mine about 3 years ago. I was lucky enough to buy 2 within a week.

[@tattooed1979]

Definitely need one! 👍

[@goukenraizo28915]

Good thing with guys in BUL Armory is that they're open on opinions of the customers..they made adjustments without compromising the brand and units are ready on parts upgrade

[@MajorHattery]

That optic system is brilliant. And those new models are really good looking pistols as well. If I find myself in the market for a "2011", which I probably will, these are definitely near the top of the list.

[@joeyassyrian]

It's nice but you have to remember, if they are directly threaded into the slide and for whatever reason your screw fails or cross threads, you're in for a treat. Not putting down the system but the operator will always find a way to screw something up (no pun intended) and direct threads just run at a higher risk for the trade off of secureness.

[@tmango78]

@@joeyassyrianThis might be a dumb question, but we just recently got our first couple optic ready pistols here in California. The other option would be a plate system? If so, wouldn’t the plate have to thread directly into the slide and possibly pose the same concern? Edit: Nevermind, this uses plates too. What would be the other option?

[@joeyassyrian]

@@tmango78 Direct thread will still be a weaker point in some scenarios versus an optic threaded to a plate where the plate is screwed to the slide instead. Let me give you a real life example, that actually happened to me. I was running between cars with a direct milled Glock 34 using a OWB holster with an exposed optic (mistake #1), I clipped the rear bumper of a truck while running and my gun/holster took the blunt of the damage. I cracked the glass on my RMR and the screws snapped from the force/(possibly low quality screws too, I don't know what the company that milled my slide source them from). They were stuck in the slide and required some gunsmithing to fix the threads and take them out.

[@tmango78]

@@joeyassyrian Would that not happen to the screws holding the plate to the slide because it has a little give? The screws holding the optic to the plate would be more likely to snap?

[@keithv3767]

You can tell Ben loves his job - a real gun enthusiest.

[@ElShotte]

James basically single-handedly introduced Bul Armory to the US market when he did that review a while back.

[@aagavina]

Love Bul Armory. Their fluted barrel on the original UL is bad ass. I wish there was a way they could keep that with the new V6 ported barrel.

[@giane5490]

I saw that guns at IWA and had it in my hand 🤯 The only gun at that show which could keep up with the Bul SAS 2 tac pro 5" was a night hawk 2011.

[@otterconnor942]

That plate system is what it should have been the entire time. Brilliant

[@MarcosOrtiz-e6h]

The update I wanna hear is that they are more available and in stock. I have been trying to buy one for 2 years.

[@texasranger24]

Love their products. Plus, their magazines are more affrodable, more reliable and higher capacity than any of the normal 2011 magazines. Would've loved to see an update on the competition line, but apparently the self defense and duty markets are growing rapidly for them, so i understand that they chase the money...

[@DavidChilders-k5r]

What a great number of updates for BUL Armory. I have a SAS II Tac 5 and it stands above my other 2011's. There is no better value for 2011's than the BUL series of pistols. Mine is also the most accurate of the 2011's and 1911's that I have. Can't praise them enough. My experience with ordering was 3 weeks from order to delivery.

[@Copenhagen848]

These finally dropped this afternoon - I managed to grab a 5” Tac Pro before they sold out 😊

[@jagpilotohio]

Got one last week in the second Drop. Took it to the range last night. It’s really spectacular. I dare say I like it a hair more than my XC.

[@LDB670]

Now if they were ever in stock anywhere on the internet (besides the overpriced ones on gunbroker), I would buy one.....

[@FishingBenB]

This! ☝️

[@hyphydan]

Pretty sure they are special ordered only?

[@dmarr4941]

Set your email notification on their site. I actually got one of the TAC 4.25 models the other day directly from them, but they sold out quickly. You won't be disappointed.

[@jason12518]

I think you're right it, this was the reason i went with staccato i just didn't want to risk it, it's a lot of money to me@@hyphydan

[@AndyCigars]

Great stuff, James. Love seeing a gun maker so open to customer feedback that actually listens.

[@jeffgee6319]

This BUL dude has a great camera presence, regardless of any inherent language barriers(which there wasn’t much of one). A lot of times, the rep is noticeably awkward when the camera is rolling.

[@wheelguns4wheelmen802]

Always impressed by people who can speak multiple languages fluently (or mostly fluently). I’m terrible with other languages, although I do try to speak Spanish.

[@CarrieWard-ny1zl]

😅 i’m impressed with people who can juggle… Oh, and people who could keep up with supply and demand the website always sold out…

[@wisesage3289]

One of the best product overview! Well done. Exciting stuff

[@GriffXJ]

I was upset that I couldn't get in on the latest batch of SAS II TAC 4.25 that hit the market...but after seeing this, now I'm excited. I'm gonna have to get that EDC Pro model once they come state side.

[@johnjoobooks]

Cheers for James for great interview overall and Ben the professional - you make us proud, my man! Soon to get my first pistol for concealed carry, and going for Cherokee Compact - great combination of looks, feel, reliability and price. And always - supporting my home country manufacturer!

[@Jmangz12]

Anyone know when these will drop? I know they are never in stock but wonder if next release these new ones will be available

[@hopewilliams6705]

I've got to get into the 2011 this year that is my resolution for 2024

[@Mockturtlesoup1]

I've loved these guys ever since a friend turned me on to them. Super cool stuff.

[@ProtesttheAntagonist]

One thing I've noticed with these EDC intended 2011s that they somehow never make a long barrel, short grip model. For carrying the length of the barrel makes a much smaller difference than the grip length concealment wise. From what I know about the way these things are built it should be as easy as swapping the grips from the ultralight onto an EDC.

[@jthrelf]

For appendix carry those dimensions are reversed

[@ProtesttheAntagonist]

@@jthrelf that's fair, but appendix carrying something like a 2011 has to be really uncomfortable with how wide those pistols and especially their controls are.

[@cornbreadbrown4961]

but... does it have magnets?

[@GayActorMichael_Douglas]

I built a custom electromagnetic cabinet to put all my guns in to magnetize all the steel parts.

[@bigpurpledoghowdy1485]

😂

[@jfaun2313]

Its snap on now

[@Wade-1]

My BUL SAS II Viper is the best gun Ive ever owned. Not just for the price. Period. I've put it up against guns twice the price. PS only regret is that i got the 19 round grip rather than the 15.

[@kevf500]

I really like the new look of the SAS2 pro tac, all black and really like the new slide cuts and optic mounting system Bul Armory has knock it out of the park , that optic system with center post is absolute brilliant in its effectiveness but simplicity

[@CyclingAddiction]

Glad you released this video. I was just on Bul Armory looking at the Ultra Light and had no idea there is a new release coming. (everything was Out of Stock anyway)

[@808slimtrim]

Been outa stock for the last month. Been checking everyday😪😔

[@packerjansen12]

That plate system looks quite similar to a Dawson Precision plate. They also have the integrated posts.

[@caddilacjim]

A company that listens to it's customers that's great.The 5 inch pro is sweet.

[@phoneuser3569]

This company has thier shit together. A value line would be a great way to get more customers using the brand.

[@texasranger24]

I mean compared to Staccato they ARE the budget option. Plus, as far as i understand, they have eliminated all MIM parts for 2024. Now compare their prices to the Prodigy which is full of mim and you see where the value is. There is no way to get much cheaper using the same quality steel and machining at 2024 material and operating cost...

That pricing is very competitive for what you get. Holy shit.

[@truthseeking3818]

They almost doubled their prices! This company is no name and brand new. I'm not paying 2/3rd the price of a stacatto or wilson for something that is not tried and true. This gun was a deal at 1100. At 1800 I'm not a buyer.

[@CalzaTheFox]

@@truthseeking3818 Bul Armory is not no name and it is not new. Tried and true is arbitrary hogwash, and Wilson is overpriced for what you get.

[@fubar1984]

They've been manufacturing firearms for over 30 years. New to the USA doesn't mean new. This is the age of the internet and research is free...

[@truthseeking3818]

@@fubar1984Literally no name company. What are you talking about? You're telling me you had heard/thought of buying a BUL before this gun? All they've ever did was variants of other people's guns that nobody cared about. There was NOBODY in the last 3 decades talking about a Bul gun until they released the 2011. Let's be honest here. "established in 1990" could literally mean anything. They could have established the LLC in 1990 and not built a gun for 30 years and that statement would still be true.

[@TheDragonDelasangre]

A+ for presentation and the engineering. Price is a little out of my comfort zone but I certainly want one!

[@adamadams6740]

Nice stuff I love BUL,and finally a gun from this show that is less than $5k!

[@904HB]

The competition gun is a sweet little setup for limited optics, with a huge exception that the 4 mags do not have enough capacity to be competitive. Include 140mm mags that have 23+ rounds and then it'll be a phenomenal setup.

[@SEAKPhotog]

Love my Bul Air and Tac 4.25. Amazing values. With the price increases , the new guns are still good values, especially with the extra mags and what looks to be a a great optics plate system. Wish my Buls had that system (but I haven't had any problems yet). Wish they were gonna still offer the Tac 5in in an aluminum frame tho. And I, for one, liked the silver controls😢

[@mattp.6660]

I got to try those new slide serrations at Shot Show, and they're some of the best I've felt, sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for that email to hear that the new steel frame TAC pro 4.25 with the full length dust cover and the V8 ports so I can snatch it up.

I have been saving up my spare change for a while now... Pretty close to choosing a DS 1911/2011 and was holding BUL in top three choices. After this video I can say it is now top slot and other choices have to bring the A game. As soon as I can get a test gun at the ranges near me I am going to try the Ultralight and the EDC.

[@sociopathmercenary]

A test Bul at a range? I saw a unicorn at my range yesterday 😂 Just buy it. I have four Bul firearms and they are all amazing

[@LeadSlinger_]

​@sociopathmercenary it's smart to go rent a gun (if possible) before you buy one. Just cause a gun might seem like it's perfect and exactly what you want doesn't mean you are going to like it.

[@user-dm7co8qy1t]

Sounds great but I am still waiting on my sasii ul that has had 20plus malfunctions and around 6 months in bull armory's shop just waiting for them to send my broken gun back to me broken again as usual 2000 rounds fired at least 25 pics and 2 video's of all the malfunctions. I want a new gun because the warp in manufacturing process. I am now looking at Staccato or Wilson combat , can not risk my life carrying a defective pistol. Called them 2.5 weeks ago with no call back . I will never buy a out of country pistol or rifle again. NO BULL it has been a nightmare and there are a lot of others in the same situation.

They are hand fitted so not mass produced. The upside is, according to those who have gotten one of these unicorns, higher quality. But the production time lags months and months behind demand.

[@roman11051983]

Thanks for the patch!

[@willthethrill4394]

I’m confused by the optic system as it’s literally just like the m&p system. It works essentially as a spacer where 2 big circles are milled onto the slide cut that the plate goes onto. That plate also has recoil posts too. So just tighten the optic to the slide and the big circles and recoil posts take the brunt of the force.

[@tristanmayton6764]

I honestly thought the same thing. I’m not sure what the dimensions of each post are between this system and the 2.0 but it essentially works the same. I can’t remember if the 2.0 had to use a set of screws for the plate and the optic, or if they went through both plate and optic directly like this system

Managed to get my hands on an SASII last year and love the gun save for one minor detail; the grip texture. They went with a plastic checkering instead of the silicone carbide sandpaper grip like on the TAC series and wished the SASII had that more aggressive feel considering its an EDC pistol. I'm glad they fixed it this go around, but now I'm curious if I can get the new grips and fit them on my old SASII given there is some reverse compatibility.

What are everyone's thoughts on BA going from a comp to a ported barrel on the SAS II pro? They raised the price by $100 and swapped out the comp for the ported V6. Were there reliability issues with the comp'd version? Curious as to the thoughts from anyone who has the current SAS II ultralite pro. I've been looking at this and the upcoming Staccato C.

[@ArtofHunter]

The biggest issue with Bul Armory is you can never find their guns in stock. Unlike the competitors that allow you to place an order for one and then you wait till it's built with Bul they force you to use an poor email notification system that the notice can come in the middle of the night only to wake up and find that the 10 guns that dropped are all sold out again. I've been trying to get one for over a year and can't manage to. Probably going to get the new Staccato C because I can at least order one.
