Default BUL LTD cherokee handguns

Has anyone ever fired one of these Israeli handguns before ? I see that Impact guns has these for $378.00 . I like the fact that they have a 17 rnd clip for a 9mm and are mostly all composite .

Nope, but the Glock 17 has a 17rnd mag, or 33rnd if you want range fun and doesn't cost a whole lot more. I got mine with 3 mags for about $400 OTD. Once you pay shipping and transfer, you could probably get a G17 for the same price.

... Mason, where the devil did you find that Glock at that price? The lowest price I can find them for around here at an LGS is $515. I can get them for a little over $400 from Bud's.

Just went to a local gun store at 8am the morning I turned 21 and snagged it. That was just 2 years ago and prices were a lot higher than they are now.

Wait, did you haggle? I tried haggling down the price on G21s in the area and every single one told me sticker price or no sale. Of course I am out in the middle of nowehere (Wyoming) so I guess I should expect the guns to be more expensive due to lower volume of sales. If only I could find a Sys Admin position someplace a little more populated.

I got him to include a 3rd mag, but other than that I didn't haggle the price down any. I just quit a net/sysadmin job if you want one in Florence, AL. Just a warning though, it srsly sucks and you get literally no benefits lol. You're probably better off where you are.

Alabama's on my "not unless absolutely necessary" list. Well, I'm just going to keep trucking until I find something better elsewhere. I would hope there would be more call for a Mac/Linux/Windows sys admin and web developer but with hte way the job markets are anymore I may be stuck here for a while longer.

Back on topic, I spoke to a buddy of mine down in Louisiana. He has one of these, traded his 1911 in for it. Said it's a pretty good gun but the trigger had an unreliable break before he took it to a gun smith.

One of these?



Nope, never fired one, and it's totally not my favorite handgun to shoot.
This gun handles, and fits the hand way better than a GLOCK... there really is no comparison. I am sure the GLOCK humpers will get their panties in a bunch, but we all know they only like them because:
A. they were issued one with PD, and it's all they shoot
B. their friend told them it was cool
C. they are in video games dawg

There is one thing I don't like about the BUL, and it is the height (or lack there of) of the slide. It can be a bit difficult to grip/rack at first; however, once you are use to the gun you won't notice it.
