Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key updates in the 2024 BUL Armory SAS II EDC compared to previous models?

The 2024 BUL Armory SAS II EDC features updated scallop-style slide serrations for better grip, a flush barrel, and the innovative BAO Optics mounting system. Branding is also subtler, with the EDC mark etched for a more understated look.

How does the BUL Armory BAO Optics mounting system improve optic durability?

The BAO system includes a central post on the slide that centers the optic plate and absorbs lateral forces. This prevents stress on the mounting screws, which are designed for clamping force, not shear strength, thus reducing the risk of broken screws.

What is the weight of the BUL Armory SAS II EDC and how does it compare to older models?

The 2024 BUL Armory SAS II EDC, with its aluminum frame, weighs 1 lb 10.8 oz without the magazine. This weight is comparable to older models, with only a slight difference, making it comfortable for concealed carry.

Can the BUL Armory SAS II EDC be field stripped easily?

Yes, field stripping is straightforward, though it requires a tool (like the included Allen key or a paperclip) to compress the full-length guide rod. The process involves removing the slide stop, then separating the slide, recoil assembly, and barrel from the frame.
