Mark Henderson *How did you get a Sas II Tac?* I have had my name on a list for 20 months . I have never been notified of any back in stock ever . I just looked at the Site and everything is still as always SOLD OUT
@@cramerlong2276 I signed up on the waiting list and made sure I did it a couple of times over about a six month period. When the notification came through, I did not wait, as I knew it was in high demand. I is truly an amazing firearm. I think it was worth the wait... put a Holosun 508T Green Dot on it. I'm truly enjoying it.
While I may never own this firearm (getting old), I believe it is every bit as good as you suggest. From my three Bul Armory firearms, with thousands of rounds fired, it is my opinion they are better than almost anything in the price range.
The Bul Armory offerings are fantastic! Unreal at the price. I would love to order ne of their double sack 4 1/4" versions. Very nice!!! For every day carry, I carry a Les Baer TRS purchased long before retirement. Very Very accurate 1911!!! Many rounds thru it and never a bobble of any kind. So much for complaints of their being too tight. LOL ;
Been waiting on this one to come out I have the SAS II 4.25” & 5” pistols and I love them. Look forward to your range test . BUL Armory Never disappoints Great table top review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I changed out the guide rod with a Dawson tool less guide rod. This is the guide rod system Staccato uses in their 4.45 P model. It works great no problem
Great camera work, from what I've seen the Bul armory pistols are the best value 2011 out there, seems the only negative is that they are a little harder to find.
Yes sir they don't send their firearms to FFLs like Glock, Springfield and other's do. One has to do plenty of research then order from a FFL from BULL ARMORY then you get sent to the FFL. I personally don't like the style they do it as people don't really get a "hands on" approach unless someone brings one in to sale used. That's at least the info that I got ......
@@jamesmaysflyingwashingmach7459 I only got a little information from someone off YT that purchased from BULL ARMORY and yes in a simplified version that's how it goes, but that's what I'm saying is lame because Glock and others have there pistols on display for people to grasp and get the feel of at FFLs but not BULL ARMORY rather just going for it and paying $1500 -$2500 and one may not like how it fits in there hands.
That's because companies like Glock offer incentives and perks for stocking dealers ordeals who sell X amount of products. Beyond that distributors offer similar programs. That's generally why you see the same guns at every shop, and each step in the process takes their cut of profit. Direct-to-consumer permits lower prices and better price control.
OMG! I didn't need to see this! I bought the SAS II UL two months ago and the biggest difference I notice (aside from the barrel fluting) is the grip. I don't know why Bul Armory didn't include the 4.25" Tac grip style on the SAS II UL. Probably because they considered it too aggressive for concealed carry. I think I'd rather have what's on the Tac grip (aggressive texturing and the checkering) than what's currently on the UL, though, because the UL's grip feels a bit slick. Granted, if I tamp down on the grip, it sorta mitigates the slick feel.
Good stuff. I ended up being the 224th like for this video and I hesitated because I thought .223 likes is kinda cool. Any who, thanks for this review. I’m shopping that market right now
Love Bull Armory i do have a birthday coming up at the end of June....i love the comp versions....$1500 for the 3.25" and $2400ish for the 4.25" but im not sure BULL ARMORY has a layaway program like Walmart 😂😢
BEAUTIFUL! Would definitely be my EDC. Looks similar to my Ruger P89 9mm. I will be 70 in a couple months, and if you were thinking of what to give me...😂. And BTW, nice demonstration. Can't wait to punch some paper with it at the local rental range! Wife wants to know if it also comes as a 9mm? Subbed and Liked, of course! 😊
A simple ballpoint pen barrel tip with push the slide stop lever out without danger of scratching your gun using metal. My bench has several that the bank is generous to give to customers. (Besides, you never know when you might need an emergency spitball launcher)! LOL! I do prefer the Atlas tool which both cleans the inside and out side rails as well as push the slide stop out and has a tab to push in the retaining pin when reinstalling the thumb safety, and it is made to not role on the bench. About 10 buck on their site. Wilson and Nighthawk has them as well. ;
Thank you for mentioning the Atlas 1911 Tool. I had never heard of it, since I can't afford Atlas guns; but I can afford the tool, and I ordered a couple after reading your comment. Thanks, again!

Looking forward to seeing the Range review on this pistol. Curious if you have seen the Apollo 11 pistol built by live free armory. It’s a similar Pistol to this one but sells for under $1000.
@@GBGuns it's probably going to be easier to get a staccato,but I want the sas II tac,but I don't tend to purchase anything until I've watched your reviews
I ordered a flat faced shoe for mine. The shoe needed minor fitting. Some folks find that they need to fit ths shoe, while some folks find that it'll slide right in. Just an FYI.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't it be easier to pull the slide back and insert the paper clip into the guide rod first? Then you can line up the slide release without having to fight the recoil spring. That's the way I learned to do it on a Kimber Pro Carry. Look forward to seeing the shooting impressions :)
thank you for the review: I have watched your SASII UL video, and theres no mention of this holster you show in this video, in that video... What holster do you show at the beginning of this video for the UL? Thank you!
Love BUL 1911/2011 pistols. But I’m curious as to why they didn’t flute the barrel to trim weight like they did the ultra light 3.25” They shaved slide weight on the 4.25” but the barrel is so beefy. I’ve no dog in this fight. I tend to carry heavy handguns. Just curious.
Is there a specific reason why you dont put the paper clip in before removing the slide and take it out after you put it back together. Honest curious question.
In every 1911 video I've ever done I find a way to irritate or frustrate "experts" by following the steps in the manual instead of doing it "the right way". This was the closest I could get with this pistol.
NOTE: The pistol comes with two magazines, the third was additional.

I just did it the way the manual states
Where'd you get that holster from?
Do they make threaded barrels for this? Also the trigger seems like the worst 1911 single action ive seen? A spongy take up and a longer pull.
Would you say it would be better than then the Springfield EMP
It's a completely different size class
Single vs double stack - on a 1911 platform
yes

I’ve no dog in this fight. I tend to carry heavy handguns. Just curious.
The pistol really isn't terribly heavy
8:52 - This is exactly why I can't stand reverse plugs. That, and you can't fix a loose fit with a $45 bushing.

Bul Arm has a problem following up on aftercare. Meaning they will blame your shooting vs a QC problem.

Not. They're less than that.
correct, less but on GB they are highest bidder
Stop using the phrase beginners gun there no such thing, making you look like those discriminative reviewers im a fan by the way
Then you know we review all kinds of guns. Some are simpler than other, some have more descriptive manuals than others.
Sick of co-witness, don't need a big black block obscuring my dot

disagree with your optic practice! I would rather see a review of an OPTICS READY gun with an optic,
But that changes performance of the gun depending on the optic and ammo used.
