This Carry Gun DELETES Recoil - NEW Bul Armory EDC PRO

Published on August 18, 2024
Duration: 19:05

This review of the Bul Armory EDC Pro highlights its ported barrel's significant recoil reduction, comparing it to a 'cheat code' for faster follow-up shots. The presenter, Brett from Nightwood Guns, emphasizes the pistol's excellent grip texture, modular trigger, and high-capacity magazines. A key focus is the potential danger of ported barrels in concealed carry scenarios, particularly when shooting from retention, due to ejected shrapnel. The review also covers the pistol's updated features for 2024, including new slide serrations and a crowned barrel, while noting minor cons like MIM parts and the lack of a toolless guide rod.

Quick Summary

The Bul Armory EDC Pro features a ported barrel designed to significantly reduce recoil, enabling faster follow-up shots. However, ported barrels can be dangerous for concealed carry, potentially ejecting shrapnel. It's recommended to avoid plated ammunition and always use appropriate eye protection, especially when shooting from retention.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main benefit of the ported barrel on the Bul Armory EDC Pro?

The primary benefit of the ported barrel on the Bul Armory EDC Pro is its significant recoil reduction, which the presenter calls a 'cheat code.' This allows for much faster and more accurate follow-up shots, making the pistol behave like a race gun.

Are ported barrels safe for concealed carry?

Ported barrels can pose a safety risk for concealed carry. They have the potential to eject hot shrapnel, which could cause injury, especially if shooting from retention or in close-quarters situations. It's crucial to have informed consent about these risks.

What type of ammunition should be avoided with the Bul Armory EDC Pro's ported barrel?

Bul Armory specifically advises against shooting plated Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) ammunition, such as Blazer Brass, through the ported barrel. This type of ammo can spray dangerous shrapnel. True jacketed ammunition and quality defensive rounds are recommended.

What are some of the new features on the 2024 Bul Armory EDC Pro?

New features for the 2024 Bul Armory EDC Pro include significantly improved slide serrations for better grip, a flush-crowned competition barrel, and an updated Bao optic system with a single post for enhanced durability. Accents have also been blacked out for a tactical look.
