Has anyone got any thing bad to say about Bul Transmark M5 pistols which I believe are marketed in the US by Charles Daly. Really looking for reasons NOT to buy one! Also, does anyone have any idea whether it would be possible to have the .40S&W barrel reamed out so that I can shoot 10mm? |

The Transmark BUL are truely excellent guns. I can't rave about them enough, I love them. Well made, hugely accurate, quality Pistols. Nothing about them that I do not like. Bad news, is that factory support is not too flash (acutally it's very bad), everything seems to take a long time. Good news, almost all the parts are standard 1911 or will take para or STI parts. Here is one of mine...... it is the IPSC Model, I have a government model too.

Young-Kiwi, Did yours come from the factory with the ambi safety? Every time I see one I want it but being a lefty I need an ambi safety. Gringop |
Other than the fiber front sight, this gun is as it came from the factory. It is the "IPSC" model, rather than the "Government" model BUL M-5 IPSC Designed specifically for the Standard (Limited) IPSC division. This pistol is out-of-the-box competition-ready and includes practically every feature allowed in the Standard division. Fully adjustable sights with a .200” high front post ensure a perfect sight picture. Heavy cone-type barrel helps to control muzzle lift in 0.40SW, the caliber of choice for most shooters in this division Specifications: Overall length: 215mm Sights: Adjustable sights Overall height 140mm Safeties: ambi thumb safety Weight: 950gr grip safety barrel length: 128mm Trigger pull: 2.5-3.0 lb Sight radius: 168mm Calibers capacity: 9mm/18rd, 40sw/17rd, .45/14rd Maximum capacity on all calibers for the Turkish market: 15+1 Custom features: Fully adjustable sights, Custom trigger job, extended mag release, extended ambi safeties, mag-well, custom fitting and tuning. 3 "poli-chrome" magazines included. www.bultransmark.com/index2.htm |
What do you use your Government for if you've got an IPSC? A Bul M5 IPSC in .357SIG (the baby-killing .40SW is not legal for IPSC this side of the Tasman  ) on my guns-to-buy list. They're great value and we've got a good bloke disturbing them. Practically the only thing that isn't standard 1911 Gov't Model is the frame and mags. Enjoy your full-capacity ones.
