BUL LTD. - BUL M-5 Line

anyone have any experience with them? are they significantly thicker than single stack 1911. I personally like the way they look

[nightrunner]

looks more like a 2011 than a 1911 to me

made in israel

looks like charles daly imports them fo a MSRP of $759

A poly 1911...

It says the Govt model holds 13+1 in .45, not bad, but like you asked, I imagine the grips are thicker than a single stack. You can get a Para Hi-Cap that holds 14+1, I just don't like how thick the grips are.

[nightrunner]

most likely it is a polymer framed 2011, in other words, a double stack 1911. should be the same thickness as the para double stacks

I believe Kimber imported them for a while a few years ago, as well.

There is info to be found over on the Charles Daly forums. I personally like them and think it's neat idea.

I had a kimber with the poly frame and if I am not mistaken it was a Bul M5 or at least made by them. Nice gun, fairly reliable, mags were expensive. It was not that much thicker than a standard 1911 because of the lack of grip panels. My beef with it was it was too heavy with 14 rounds, same thing I disliked about my G21. If I ran across a super deal on one...like $400 or so w/box and mags, I would jump on it but it would have to be a deal. I don't think the Kimbers sold for much more than 500ish when they were new.

seems like an abomination to me, but maybe im just old school.

polymer frame, partly. double stack, not hardly. who wouldnt want the accuracy of a single action 1911 in a double stack high capacity platform
