Bul M-5 questions

[graycrait]

BUL LTD. - BUL M-5 Line

I had a notion and now want to follow it up so I have a couple of questions for the masses?

1. Anyone ever seen a Bul M-5 9mm?

2. Does anyone know of Bul M-5 in any caliber sitting on gun store shelf right now?

3. Does anyone own a M-5? If so, with its higher capacity and poly frame, how is the trigger reach?

4. Are there any distributors who have Bul M-5 9mms? I see that the outfit in AR distributes parts, but I don't think whole pistols, I may be wrong.

a few months ago Charles Daly was the importer of them and then they went under, so I doubt we will ever see them unless another importer picks them up.

I'm pretty sure someone is already bringing them in. I believe it was Kimber that imported them originally but labeled them under their name. You can get them throguh Davidson's, but I don't know who the importer is. I'm assuming they are CD imports.

Thanks, I knew CD went under and that Kimber had used them. I'll check with my FFL into what Davidson might know or carry. I have this idea that I can carve up the Bul frame like I do my Glocks, at least to some extent, and maybe set-up a nice breaking 1911 trigger for a high cap 9mm 1911. Trigger reach may be better than I can get with a seriously carved up Glock grip, realizing that the 1911 design and various trigger lengths give the shooter a nice range to play with. Just not sure how the width of the high cap Bul receiver affects trigger reach.

I have had a couple of the Bul's in the past and liked them pretty good but there has never been any customer support or available proprietary parts in the U.S. So now I shoot STI's and haven't looked back. STI has a modular grip on them so if you mess one up carving on it you can replace for less than a hundred bucks and haven't junked a whole gun.
