Did Ken's (RADAGAST) review help?

What calibre & style grabs you, or do you have?

I found Bill Wood's review site.

His review is very good, but i'm in the standard divison.
I'm waiting for a BUL M-5 IPSC in .40 S&W
The gun should arrive to my hands in 2/3 weeks. :cool:

I'm thinking on a fiber optic front sight, some mag base pads or followers and a sprinco guide rod. :D

And maybe a steel magazine catch :confused:

Greetings All,
Glad to hear you found my BulM review helpful & informative.
Unfortunatley we lost our .40 cal pistols a couple of years ago with the law changes here I took both my .40 cal IPSC models in to the Buy Back while at home in the safe I had my brand new IPSC model in 9mm.. :mad:

I have had a great run from my Bul M pistols both my .40's and now my 9mm ( that I also have a 38 super barrel for now & ran it at the recent IPSC Aust Nationals where I came in a close 2nd overall!)

E,
I used a FO front sight for quite a while but have now gone back to plain black I found I was shooting the dot too much rather than focusing properly on the front sight, try it it may work for you. With the Bul's dovetail front sight it dosent take long to swap over anyway.

When I had the 40 we managed to get 19+ 1 in to the gun but I found the mags spings would tend to fail quickly so I just used 18 +1 & had complete reliabilty. We used SPS plastic bases but Bul where just starting to supply thier own bases when we lost our 40's & hi cap mags.

I use a Tungsten Sprinco in my Bul and it works well Just make sure that it has been peened in place otherwise they tend to come unscrewed.

I like the Steel mag catch although I have never had any problem with the plastic one supplied the steel gives that extra piece of mind.
