Here is one we are in the process of doing a review on. I'm starting to think that the first guy doing the review is going to have to be pried away from it. :D

I have the officers feild grade model in .45 cal. with the hogue finger groove grips on it. I love this firearm! It shoots exellent. I compared it to my fathers Para ordanance and he coudn't believe how well it fit his hand and shot. He was even more shocked when I told him the price:eek: Now understandd that I bought it used (from a pawn shop) but it was in great condition.

His is ammo finicky and so far mine has shot everything I have stuffed in it with out a hickup.

:eek:

Why, why, why did I ask. I knew what it would do to me, and it did.

I almost suffocated from drooling and gasping at the same time.

Very, very nice collection.

First range trip:

A great budget 1911 I must say! One of my favorite pistols in my small collection.

Good shooting Guinea!

Good job on those sights, I need to add some dots to mine for these old eyes.

Welcome to the forum.

[putteral]

They are very accruate shooters. Will try to get some pics up

[DogRanger]

Here is the best I could do so far as far as pictures.

[Charles Daly]

We are working on the image/linking issue now...

OK, we edited your post to display the image correctly.

What you did was link to the photobucket page that had the image on it as opposed to linking directly to the image itself. Our webmaster fixed it for you.

[powderfinger]

Here's my EFS purchased gently-used, as shown, about two months ago.

Real nice looking weapons guys..........

[Dmon1911]

I have tried to post a pic and seem to have a brain lock. I cant seem to get the pic small enough to upload. Any Ideas?

[steel609]

Sometimes, on here when I upload a pic that is too big, it resizes it for me. Sometimes I use www.photobucket.com to host my pics. You can resize them there. Very easy to use.

[Dmon1911]

I tried to upload and it just kept saying the file was to big. I will try the Photobucket.com method. Thanks for the info.

[wataman]

My new bul-M5

[McQ68]

And a fine looking gun it is. What caliber? How's it shoot?

[wataman]

McQ68 not bad to shoot with a 2.5lbs trigger pull in 45acp

[McQ68]

McQ68 not bad to shoot with a 2.5lbs trigger pull in 45acp That's a pretty light trigger. Have you shot for groups yet? How's the recoil in that polymer frame with the 45 cal? All my 45's are all steel.:)

[PacketStorm]

Here is my EFS. Looking for grips. I like the look of these, but they are a bit thick. Funny how changing the angle of the gun to camera can make the slide look really short (when pointed away from the camera).

wataman? Your name wouldn't be Steve would it? I knew another guy on another forum that used a similar name tag.

When did you buy your M5? Mine doesn't have that fat aluminum mag plate thingy. I don't think I'd like that actually. How do you like it? I'd think it would make it that much more bulky to carry.

[scoutie99]

Here are some pics of my Bul M5. The slide , slide stop , and thumb safety has had a matte nickel plated finish applied to them. The gun runs great and digests any kind of ammo.

Welcome to the Charles Daly forums Scoutie99!

Nice looking M5 you have there. What's the accuracy like? Do you now if recoil is lighter/heavier than a standard 1911?

[Charles Daly]

Awesome pic as usual Stick! Thanks for sharing. :)

[McQ68]

Mike said it 1st about another amazing Stick photo. The amazing part is, how did he take the picture with both hands on the gun? Really guys, I'm kidding, I know he held the remote trigger in his teeth-right Stick?:gangstershooting:

I find the felt recoil to be less on the M5, of course I do have the full size because it's the only way I like them. I think the weight of the Bull barrel makes the recoil nicer, that and the polymer might soak up some of the force. I find the M5 to be extremely comfortable to shoot all day long.

To my suprise the gun is very , very , accurate. Also to my suprise was that the recoil seemed to be less than a full size 1911, a lot less. I think the large grip has a lot to do with it which enables one to get a good tight hold on the gun. I have a RIA 45 Compact with a 3 1/2 inch barrel that kicks like a mule which shocked me because the gun is a lot heavier than the Bul M5. The gun also wears very comfortably in my CrossBreed IWB holster despite the fat grip. I just ordered one more mag since I noticed the price had dropped from the original $61.00 a piece to $ 45.00.

Thanks, I either shoot pictures of other people when I can get friends involved (almost all are MIL or LE), or I preset the focus, pace out how far I need to be, set the timer, then move into the frame and hope I got it all right.

Scoutie you keep talking about that fat grip but you really should closely compare the M5 to any other full size 1911. I think you'll be shocked to find out it really isn't fat and that is likely why you don't feel like your holding a fat brick in your hand. The M5 is only very slightly thicker then a standard 1911. i own both and have compared the 2 side by side.

Yes , I know. I own a Colt 70 that I bought back in the mid seventies and have shot it for many years. I also own three other 1911's made by RIA. I guess maybe I should have said it is just more square than fat. I did actually measure and compare the two and they are almost exactly the same. I had bought some thin grips for my RIA Compact and I really don't like them. They don't fill up your hand and provide a good solid grip like thicker grips do. I was skeptical at first about buying the M5 because it looks fat in appearance and I thought it might be difficult to manage. To my suprise it feels really good in the hand but differant than a regular 1911 even though they are almost the same.

I love the stainless. Just something about a stainless 1911 shined up with nice wood grips.

[steel609]

Some updated pictures.....Refinished the grips and added a Grieger trigger. This is my favorite 1911 .......at the moment. ;)

"At the moment" Another classic line spoken by a true gun owner. "This is my favorite-until I buy the next one" People like Steel keep the economy going. And pretty fancy grips, if I do say so myself.:D

[wataman]

McQ68 Recoil of the bulm5 with 185gr is ok and can produce about 1-1/2" groups at 50 Yards. I ported and polished the barrel for smooth loading.

[wataman]

NK777 i am not the guy you know from another forum. Iam using my M5 in USPSA limited division. that is why i installed magwell for quick magazine load.

Where can I get one of those triggers.

[steel609]

I bought the trigger from Dillon Precision (the guys who make the reloaders).

As for voiding the warranty, yeah, it probably would, but call customer service before you do anything just to be sure.

[TravisT]

Heres my ECS made in 05,
Thought Id add some pics,
Adding Peirce Fingergrips w/palm swells " rubber factory checkered look" in the next week or so.

Only thing I got for it is a Wilson Combat Mag

I am amazed how finger grips change the look and feel of these guns!

Those are pretty nice. It's hard to tell, what color are those? Gray? What are the other color options?

[TravisT]

They are actually black, the gun is blue.... Here's a link to the grips, as far as i know they only come in black

The gray/silver background and the gray/silver foreground are wreaking havoc with the camera's digital brain. The grips are black. A contrasting or neutral background will make them show up better. :D

[TravisT]

yeah they are a lil shotty due to the fact its a cell phone pic, I'll get the digi out one of these days and take some better ones

[dixondw]

I just bought a set of Pearce Grips for my 1911. It made a notable difference with my control and I like the fact that I got to keep the factory panels.
