Bul Storm

According to the Marstar website, it was "developed by a diverse team of experts comprised of championship-level IPSC competitors, combat veterans, Israeli Special Forces operatives, and ergonomics experts..."

No offense to Marstar, but it all sounds like a load of bull (pun intended). This gun looks like a re-badged Tanfoglio small frame, which itself is a CZ-75 copy. Are these guns actually made by Tanfoglio or assembled from Tanfoglio parts (like the Baby Eagle)? Is there anything at all that makes the Bul different?

The S**t part

No, these guns are mostly made by Bul. I'm sure johnone could explain in more detail. I think Bul has had contracts to build parts for others like Charles Daly, so many branded firearms out there look like copies of one another. I've got a Bul Cherokee and a Bul M-5. Whatever their lineage, they are top notch firearms for the price.

What can I say, now we have heard more bull.........

Benchgrinder is closest with his evaluation....

You would certainly be surprised and which factories make which guns and under what "brand names"

I'd buy a CZ anyday over that copy

 

[JaysonCraig]

" As with their award-winning M-5 series handguns, the BUL Storm is also based upon a proven platform (the CZ-75 in this case) whose track record for reliability is beyond reproach. In engineering the BUL Storm, several refinements were made to the CZ-inspired design to improve balance, increase durability, and make the gun more comfortable to handle and easy to operate."

Yeah but its just a copy so how can it be good?

a little advertising lingo never hurt anyone....

I luv the baby eagle...If the Bul is just an improved copy no one would want one... even if they cost $200 less... They should have lots in stock...

...ummm...wait a minute?? Sold out???

Perhaps you could shed some light on the situation and give us your so-called "facts". Are you trying to tell me that it took "a diverse team of experts comprised of championship-level IPSC competitors, combat veterans, Israeli Special Forces operatives, and ergonomics experts" to come up with a one for one copy of the Tanfoglio?

Ergonomics experts on the other hand, not so worried about them.

I would mistake them for tanfoglio until I got up close.

Other than the markings, they seem to be the same gun. I'm still wondering exactly what contribution did Bul's "dream team" of Israeli special forces commandos, IPSC champions and "ergonomics experts" made to Combat Sport's, er, I mean Storm's design.
