Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the BUL Armory SAS II UR Ultimate Racer suitable for USPSA Open division?

The SAS II UR Ultimate Racer is designed for USPSA Open division with features like a compensator for recoil reduction, a frame-mounted red dot sight for faster target acquisition, a slide racker for easier manipulation, a large magazine well for quick reloads, and a very light, crisp trigger for rapid follow-up shots.

How does the BUL Armory SAS II UR compare in price and quality to other open guns?

The BUL Armory SAS II UR offers excellent value, typically costing around $3,500, which is significantly less than many other open guns that can range from $6,500 to $10,000. The quality received for the price is considered excellent, comparable to production 1911s like Dan Wesson.

Can the BUL Armory SAS II UR handle high-pressure ammunition like 9mm Major?

Yes, the SAS II UR is built to withstand high-pressure, high-velocity rounds, safely handling ammunition capable of 1500 feet per second. It is also factory-set to cycle both 9mm Major and 9mm Minor loads effectively.

What are the key differences between a BUL Armory double-stack 1911 and a traditional 2011?

While both are double-stack designs, BUL's double-stack 1911s, like the SAS II UR, predate the 2011 design and have differences in grip mounting and magazine tube geometry. This means magazines are not interchangeable between BUL's double-stack 1911s and standard 2011 pistols.
