Looking at something different, mostly a 9mm guy but have some extra $$ and am looking at a 45 acp. Considering a colt 1911 or a bul , any opinions? I have a couple colt revolvers but no experience with 45 auto's.

This is impossible to give any kind of coherent answer for. Have you ever shot a 1911? Any idea what kind you want? Since it "sounds" like you have not may want to do some simple searching on what's out there in this platform. Then maybe find a range with rentals and shoot a few.

Better just go with a kimber.....they are the best!

What kind of budget? Lots of good guns out there, go shoot some different ones

I've had Springfield & tisa 1911's. Both were ok. I'm looking for opinions on a bul.

Colt and bul 1911 are about the same price, never been impressed with kimber

Buy the Bul. I own two Bul 1911s and two Colt 1911s. The Buls have tighter slides, better fit barrels, smoother actions and crisper, lighter triggers. About 3lbs compared to the 4.5-5.5 on my Colts.


The only thing Colt does better is they stamp a pony on their slides.

@Tlock was just giving you poo about the Kimber.

I've never owned a BUL, but have owned a few Colt's over the years. The Colts were nothing special. They always seem to get sold or traded off for Dan Wesson 1911's.

I guess if i would have thrown a DISCUSS after, most of us would have known what i was meaning.....cary on folks

Adding to my thoughts, buying a Bul gets you front strap checkering, undercut trigger guard, often an ambi safety and a bushingless bull barrel. You get nice, aggressive G10 grips and a full length guide rod on most models. You get essentially ALL of the premium features for a semi premium price. The only 1911s I own that compete with Bul in build quality, features and shootability are my Springfield TRP that cost hundreds more and my alchemy custom that cost thousands more. I would endorse Bul as my first choice in a 1911

The one Bul I've handled was very nice for the sub thousand dollar price. All you'd get from Colt for that money is a pile of parts slapped together with a pony on them. Kimbers are better then Colts IMO.

I own an older 1911 made by BUL Armory, imported by Magnum Research and labeled as a Desert Eagle 1911 C. I like it, accurate, light trigger, but it doesn't reliably feed flat nose bullets as well as my Dan Wesson and the recoil is more substantial even with all new springs from Wilson Combat.

Huh. I'm always learning something here. Before reading this thread, I'd never heard of BUL pistols. Made in Israel, imported by Magnum Research (makes sense, they sell the Desert Eagles, etc, some of which were also made in Israel) . Magnum Research in turn is owned by Kahr Arms.

Interesting I have never heard of a BUL anything firearm.

Plot twist. Kimber had the Ten Ii series polymer DS guns way back in the day. Frames were made by BUL….
Charles Daly even offered a version utilizing the same BUL frame. This was after Kimber discontinued them I believe.

Modern day branding can sometimes be no different than J.C. Higgins in it's day. Early H&K pistols came here under the Harrington & Richardson brand. I'm not a Sig Sauer guy, but lately I inherited one, so I've been reading up on them a bit. The early P220's were imported by Browning as the BDA. Probably everyone but me already knew this. I've looked at the Chas. Daly .45 pistols, those have been made in several places but I think the one I handled was made in Italy.

For a while, I didn't know what my Sig was. The box said P220. There was a factory target for a P226. But the pistol is actually a P225 civilian version made in Germany.

So... if you buy a Bul, do you get the horns?
