Bul Armory 9mm Commander

[Brent]

Little update today -

Ordered the Bul Armory Commander in 9mm this morning. Just a good price on them from the mfgr website. $850 for a 1911 that has a degree of hand fitting? Take my money. I’ll post a thread about it once it arrives and shoot it in. Gonna take some range trips before I roll it into my IDPA rotation. Then if it proves capable in a handful of matches and on the flat range, we will move it to a carry rotation as well.

I know I know…9mm 1911’s are about as classic cool as a ford Pinto. But I happen to shoot a lot of 9mm every week, as been mentioned there is some hip defensive ammo tech out there. I’ll get a .45, but it’ll be blued and 5” in the future. A stainless commander will be a good fit for the AIWB carry.

If I get another full size gun with will be a 1911 in 9mm. I'm eyeing up Rock Island A1/A2 which seem to have lots of good reviews on them for sub $1000 1911's.

My RIA 1911 9mm A1 has been flawless for thousands of rounds. You won’t regret buying one.

It's sad that the Argentine Sistema pistols are no longer the bargain they once were. Colt in everything but name, made to Colt specs on Colt-provided machinery, they've doubled in price over the last decade.

Probably Trump's fault.

Definitely global warming. An transphobia.

Well the pistol is set to arrive today. I may or may not get there, we shall see!

Well blended and some great slide to frame fit. Take her out for a spin on Thurs evening.

Cell Phone grab for now. Seems like a really well made pistol at its price point. Impressed so far!

nice pistol. Good brand reputation. Picked a winner…nicely finished, too.
Isreali made - it has my vote.

I really gotta wring the Glock outta me. Wanted to hold the pistol too high. Touch the slide…drop your shots low. Don't touch the side lol.
More dry fire and live fire today. Honestly, yesterday was a rough day and my shooting wasn't very hip. The gun worked wonderfully. Recoils a little more than I thought, which isn't much mind you. But I believe it's not the recoil so much as my recoil management. I need to train my hands to this frame. Definitely take a lower grip compared to strikers. In any event, my 10y shooting was garbage and inconsistent. Here are some "rapid" fire targets from 7y. By rapid I mean one shot a second. Just letting the gun stretch it’s legs a little. First 150 rounds all went bang that’s the important part. I can get my performance up to snuff in time.

Thanks! I’ll take that for now. Like to see where my shooting goes in the next couple months on it. I fed it 150FMJ on Wednesday and 100HP today (Friday). It’s eaten it all up and spit em all out. We’re still getting to know one another.

That’s been my main shooter for years. Trying some other goodies out still carrying this one though.

Old reliable.

One reason I have never been a "pistol guy". The more you buy and own, the more you have to remember and adjust to.
It's the old standard, "beware the man with only one gun..." I am a firm believer in that adage.

DPM recoil spring really works well on aluminum frame commanders. It smooths everything in the recoil impulse out on my .45, sure it will do wonders on the 9.
