They use the BUL M5 frame. I also design and sell +2 to +20 rnd extensions for the mags. The BP TEN II is one of my faves, it doesn't look great, but damn is it a work horse.
I’ve been carrying a 4” barrel model for 12 years now as an every day carry gun. These are very good guns and the longer you own one the more you like it. When they first came out the primary complaint was that the edges on the grip safely were a bit sharp and tended to bite the web of your hand when shooting. This was remedied by carefully filling the corners and edges of the polymer grip safety mechanism. Later I opted for the Cylinder & Slide hammer and trigger group, that greatly improved trigger pull, reliability and accuracy. These are fine guns that improve when thoroughly broken in with use. Great gun!
I just got a Kimber Ten ll stainless double stack 45acp with a 14+1 capacity mag and I was able to make some 20rd capacity mag's from a para ordnance P14 fit and run flawless. So now I have a 20+1 capacity Kimber 2011 in 45acp.
I have carried a BP 10 for 8 years now. Shooting through the first 1000 rounds, certain ammo did have minor feeding problems, so I started polishing the ramp and rails ever so slightly, which corrected any and all feeding problems the gun had. Funny you mentioned it. I have been planning to send it off for coating at some point, NP3 + would be awesome. Great review as always.
Chad - I was relieved to hear you say that you don't own a 1911 and I feel like I can finally come out of hiding now. I love .45 ACP and love the way the 1911 looks. I do not dispute it's merits as a service pistol, but I have not found a reason to buy one either as there are a host of other very good .45 ACP offerings available... Thank you from all non-1911ers out there.
You seem to know about Kimber , with your closing remarks you brought up the rifels . They were custom made at one time in Oregon. When I went to get a new hand gun I was introduced to a new gun called a Kimber. Thanks a lot about this model now every one will be looking.
This was my favorite 1911 I've ever owned I really really wish I had not sold it. Got back in 2005 and other than having to polish the feed ramp initially it was great Incredibly accurate
@@dasboot9471 For the price point for a double stack 1911 it was wonderful and a hell of a lot cheaper than the TLEII it was really innovative iirc there weren't many double stack 1911s on the market back in the early to mid 2000s unless I'm forgetting one and I'm excluding the MK23 because that's outside 95% of people's price point
In the late 90's I managed to get a Kimber Stainless Polymer Hi-Cap that took the 14-round doublestack magazines. It was built on the BUL frame with the squared off trigger guard. It's a surprisingly accurate gun.
Hey guys if you're looking for another double stack 45 under 500. Check out the sar k2 45. I love mine. Uses any standard double stack 1911 mag but utilizes the Cz platform with a different lockup. Great pistol
Bought my first Kimber 1911 last month.... Together with my Glock 34 I really love them both so shoot with. The Kimber is fully made of metal and I like he weight instead of the Glock 34 plastic feel.
I have an interview down in Atlanta in October for school. Definitely gonna stop down at Moss while I'm there. Gonna feel good to be out of NY for a day.
I bought mine many years ago new. I believe it came with 2 10 rounders but was able to buy some Kimber 13 round flush fit mags. I was unfortunate enough to get an external extractor model. Had feed issues with it right away. Round would get stuck on the feed ramp. Sent it back to Kimber at least 2 maybe 3 times and each time they sent it back saying it was fine. It was not. After the last time I cleaned up and polished the feed ramp. That helped but once I put in a Wolf recoil spring that seemed to fix the issues. I believe it was a stronger spring but so long ago I can't remember. I should note that I had put several hundred rounds through it before sending it back the first time. Then each time sent back I put several hundred through it. Then I of course I find a new Pro BP Ten II. It is the commander size. This one has an internal extractor and has shot perfect. Not sure if they ever offered the external on the Pro or not. I want to say the Pro came with 2 13 round Kimber. I some point I found 14 round mags for it. I believe they are Mec-Gar but not positive. They are marked K14-45ACP made in Italy. Better quality than the 13 rounders from Kimber. I may have to buy a couple of those Mec-Gar from Midway sometime. Nice review on a unique weapon but I just had some unfortunate Kimber experiences.
I believe all the new Para pistols are shipping with Mcgar mags now. When I asked to swap out the original mags due to them being impossible to load completely they sent me Mcgars.
I've always loved Kimber's stuff. Everything about them just screams quality (at least in my humble opinion.) It doesn't hurt that Detachment Delta, SOF, MARSOC, and CANSOFCOM have all had custom models built for their detachments. Kimber's just high quality, plain n simple. For example, the Kimber Raptor 1911 is a seriously high-end hole puncher, they single-handedly prove that not all mass-production 1911's suck. For a 1911 to function properly, it has to be machined with extremely tight tolerances. Any deviation from those tolerance thresholds will mess up the action big time, causing failure-to-feed, failure to extract etc. problems to occur. I personally love 1911s, but it's damn hard to find a good manufacturers of the ol' Slab Side these days.
The frame for these guns were made by BUL Transmark in Israel. They made frames for Springfield Armory, Kimber, Charles Daly and now Battle Ready International is importing them. BUL Transmark also makes 1911 for Magnum Research.
The frames for these were made by BUL Transmark, an Israeli company, who offer them for sale still here in the US as the BUL M5 series. I have the M5 Government, which is more or less the same thing as the BP-10. Love it, since they sourced Chip McCormick parts for a lot of their early models.
I love my Kimber 1911. Picky on the quality and type of ammo, but when fed well, it can't be beat. I can hit a golf ball at 15 yards on the first shot with it.
Awesome guns, very undervalued. Lot of these failed to shoot reliably from the factory new because of their crap extractor and slide stops. Change these parts with Wilson Bulletproof, EGW, or Ed Brown, and you've got a winner. I prefer the early models - non-Kimber II polymer 45s with the Israeli Bul-5 lowers. These had the series 70 slides and trigger safety. They balance better and recoil less than any Kimber's I've owned!
The earlier frames were Isreali. Then Kimber made their own polymor frames with aluminum inserts. I own the later version with the rounded trigger guard and my slide is stainless.
Eric, they also made a 3" Ultra model. I have that one. Very finicky with ammo. Stovepipes on Winchester white box, but pretty reliable with 185 grn XTP and +P Critical Defense (Hornady).
Oh I know of the Charles Daly you're talking about! It's basically the BUL M5 that the Israelis made. Love that gun! And supposedly has caliber conversions for 9mm and 40S&W.
I'm not worried about steel on aluminum, my mossbergs have been fine for years. I've seen some get loose after 40 years of heavy use, but what gun wouldn't?
Are those mecgars not for para's? I thought the mags were interchangeable between Para, RIA and Kimber double stacks. Hell you can even make an STI mag with in a Para with some fiddling.
Quick question. You and I both know threaded barrels are available for pistols. My question is if its possible to get an extended barrel adapter type attachment with a match type front housing like on a H&K USP .45 match? Just because my pistol has an underbarrel rail, and I want to extend the barrel from 5" to 12" for accuracy reasons and because i want to install a foregrip to aid accuracy. Since my gun is a low powered .22 and I'd like to have some range. I dont know what all you can do to maximize a FNH Five-seveN's fire power. I thought about a tighter barrel, swapping the polymer for steel, increasing the spring tension, and so on. I just want to maximize the potential of a .22 pistol. Maybe you'll make a video on it? Who knows? I think it would be cool to see what kind of gun mods you can cook up
Isreal's Bul M-5 w/Kimber upper. Just got my second w/adjustable sights. Additional update at end of this info: The pistol is a model made by Kimber years ago. The upper is of course is stainless steel Kimber the lower is actually an Israeli Bul M5. The early versions were called"polymer custom". With this model the insert in the polymer was stainless steel. The later models like the one you own had aluminum inserts. Google Bul-M5 for more information. I've had mine since the original article in Guns and Ammo reviewed it when the pistol first came out. I have had zero problems with mine, and I reload for it. I have just over 7000 rounds through mine. I would not trade the pistol for any other model 45. The Originals again all stainless steel are very accurate. It's a little heavier but the advantage of the polymer is that the grip radius is much smaller then a Para Ordnance Double Stack. This was one of the biggest selling points that Guns & Ammo pointed out resulting in my purchase. Google Israeli M5 for more information the pistol is still for sale. Sorry discontinued for 2018 out of Isreal's Bul catalog. Sad to see it go, but let's face it, new and better things are out there. Nice run 2003-2017. PS: Charles Daley imported the same Bul-M5 for his use, just as Kimber did.
My STI 2011 Tactical is 16 +1 with the 170mm magazines. I carried it for years while working patrol. Great shooter but 4 x's the cost of this Kimber. Double stack 1911's are out there and I find that the Rock Island 2011 is a nice pistol too if not a little heavy compared to my STI.
Got curious and looked up the price of that Robar NP3+ coating. It is definitely not cheap. You would really have to love a gun a lot or plan to use it really hard to justify spending that much to protect it.
I thought .45 has to be snappy until I found a Kahr P45. And it only weighs 18.8 oz - significantly lighter than this Kimber BP Ten. So it's not all in the weight. I also have a Charter Arms Pitbull in .45, which kicks pretty well.
I've never seen one of these. I thought STI in Para were the only double stacks in town. pretty freakin sweet I wonder how much that polymer lower helps with weight and how durable it is (I guess pretty durable if it's from the Clinton days)...
I did not read all the comments, but did you ever figure out what was causing the malfunctions? That had to be a horrible feeling, raving about the lack of malfunctions, and then bam! The camera hits you with Murphy's law. But I do love 1911s... and this is the first time I've seen the BP Ten.
Is it just me or did the ammo look like it was shooting really dirty? I have shot thousands of rounds of the Federal American Eagle ammo in 45 cal through various firearms and I never noticed the amount or size of the cloud of burnt powder that was coming out of this gun while he was shooting it. Did they change powders recently for the American Eagle line since they're introducing the new American Eagle Syntech?
You can't go wrong with a .45 ACP and you can't go wrong with a Kimber. Although I'll pick my Eclipse Custom 2 any day when it comes to Kimbers (or 1911s in general), I would feel confident defending my loved ones, self, property, home, valuables, business, etc... with this gun. I remember seeing ads by Kimber in gun magazines in the late 1990s and early 2000s that displayed several 1911s, one of which was a high capacity, polymer frame gun but I seem to remember it with a different model number. Did they make another polymer 1911 or is this the one I'm thinking of? I liked what I saw of Chad"s FNX .45 Tactical but, for a tactical .45 ACP with a threaded barrel, long slide, high capacity mags, accessories, etc... I'll still pick the H&K USP .45 Tactical I think. In all fairness, I've never handled (much less fired) an FNX so......
Would really liked to have seen the backs of the watermelons that had the misfortune of meeting those Xtreme Defenders. A small trip down there with the camera while you reset the range once in a while would be a cool treat, especially when demonstrating things you can't really see from the front. Thanks for the vids as always.
hi I am wondering about open carry I live in Colorado and am not yet 21 so I can't purchase or concealed carry a hand gun yet I still feel like I would like to be able to protect and defend my self in the sketchyer parts of town what do you recommend
Hey Eric, i'm from Germany and i really enjoy your videos. Our ministry of defense recently announced, that the G36 has no future in the German armed forces because of reliability issues. (If thats really the case is up for discussion) Now that Germany is looking for a new standard service rifle i am interested in what you think a good, or maybe even perfect service rifle should be like. Caliber, barrel length, features, etc. Maybe you could do a discussion round with Chad? Greetings from Germany!
Hey Eric, any chance you could get your hands on a FAMAS to show us? I'd love to hear about that weapon from you, but I hear they're pretty rare to find in the US :C
a CZ-75 with polymer, steel, and aluminum sounds like it would have less recoil, but a stronger frontal push because because of the low ass friction caused by the metal used for the slide .3.
Great video, I have the BP10II and am very fond of it. It was just to early for its time and didn't catch on. who wouldnt like a double stack 45. I thing there are Para Ordinance mags for it.

Finally you guys put the Glocks down and pick up a 1911
More like a Glockteen11.
That was a great operation.
MatV2099 much?
+Jester Gigglez it's a hybrid I guess
This is a good gun! My dad has the same one but it’s the Kimber Pro Carry Ten 2 which has a sliver slide and the barrel is a little smaller.
My Dad has a Kimber BP Ten II. Of all the guns we own, I like shooting it the best. They really should make more of them.

I own and carry a Ten-II stainless, in a Blade-Tech UCH holster. Love it.
Little hard to conceal in the summer; so looking at P320.
The frames previous to the bp 10 were brought in from Bul Israel. I have a polymer stainless target version and its a tack driver.

My brother had a polymer pro-carry that was a 4 inch barrel with the 14 round polymer frame
FYI Charles Daly produced this polymer frame BEFORE Kimber . The first series of these were produced about 2000,BUL M5 also shared this frame .
Is it rusting because of your ginger sweat, or just ambient humidity?
Both. Georgia's weather will test any firearms finish
Eric sling them balls.
+Iraqveteran8888
It is hard here in hawaii too, but there is very little ginger sweat around these parts
Georgia is hot as fuck right now.
+Trippbennett01 I live in NW Georgia (Rome is my town) and it's hot as mess right now.
When IV8888 uploads a new video, makes my day tbh. Anyway, if you see this eric/chad, consider doing a top 5 pre-1986 guns.

I miss the Para P-12. A friend had one and it was a blast to shoot and very accurate despite short (3 1/2 inch if I recall correctly) barrell.
I believe all the new Para pistols are shipping with Mcgar mags now. When I asked to swap out the original mags due to them being impossible to load completely they sent me Mcgars.
I wish these were still in production. Kimber makes fine M1911s like the CDP. This looks to be my dream M1911. I would pick the commander variant.

"Sometimes you just wanna sling bowling balls" lol. Such a cool piece of kimbers history. Thanks for sharing.
Kimber is been making polymer frames for years now and there's other companies in 1911 that are making them two
Eric, I don't hate the gun I hate you for having a gun that I didn't know I wanted until now.
I'm just a typing dog but I say it looks great!
+Adolf Hipster sound like someones parents hate hates them
lolol RUFFF RUFFF
+nothing triggered
+Adolf Hipster that's very speciesist, check your human privilege.

My first handgun was a Para P14 and I love it.
I love my Kimber 1911. Picky on the quality and type of ammo, but when fed well, it can't be beat. I can hit a golf ball at 15 yards on the first shot with it.

Hey, just an FYI, they also made a 3" model called the Ultra Ten II. Ten rounds in a 3" package... It's a great CCW gun!
Really like the format on your videos. Like getting the two different perspectives from you and Chad.
If the gun is cleaned and lubed well before you use it, it should run flawlessly.
I wish these were still in production. Kimber makes fine M1911s like the CDP. This looks to be my dream M1911. I woke pick the commander variant.

And supposedly has caliber conversions for 9mm and 40S&W.
never knew those even existed, thx. STI makes a great double stack too
Eric, get those aluminum rails coated with titanium nitride or nickle boron. It will last much longer.
Also truest statement on the internet "can't go wrong with a 45 acp"
Got to agree with Chad, I don't care for the 1911 either, but really like the FNX 45 Tactical!
can you compare Lehigh to regular hollow points on melons? because the Lehigh round looked a lot like a ball round.
Did you have any problems with the shells ejecting poorly out of the ejection port
I think Kimber are missing an opportunity with that one. An updated version could be a good seller.
I just seen a nice rock island armory double stack the other day looked good to me. Price was good too! $400
I'm not worried about steel on aluminum, my mossbergs have been fine for years. I've seen some get loose after 40 years of heavy use, but what gun wouldn't?
Are those mecgars not for para's? I thought the mags were interchangeable between Para, RIA and Kimber double stacks. Hell you can even make an STI mag with in a Para with some fiddling.

Whats the benefit of full recoil spring guide compare to short guide? and cons?
My STI 2011 Tactical is 16 +1 with the 170mm magazines. I carried it for years while working patrol. Great shooter but 4 x's the cost of this Kimber. Double stack 1911's are out there and I find that the Rock Island 2011 is a nice pistol too if not a little heavy compared to my STI.
Has Chad been lifting? He has made all kinds of gains since he first appeared on the channel.
I have one. Any leads on a holster. It's almost impossible finding one.
HE'S THROWIN SOME SERIOUS LEAD JACK FUCK YEAH!
Eric is "channeling" Hickock more and more these day. Spooky.
Got curious and looked up the price of that Robar NP3+ coating. It is definitely not cheap. You would really have to love a gun a lot or plan to use it really hard to justify spending that much to protect it.
You need to check out an Alchemy Arms Spectre. Looks like a mix of a glock and a 1911
What do y'all think about the Magnum Research 1911 commander
How does this compare to the Para P14-45? Saw one for sale and got me curious. Didn't know they made double stack 1911s.
Eric have you had any experience with Kimber bolt guns? A shop near me has one in .308 second hand. Kind of pricey though at £1300!
Is this the first polymer 1911? Did Rock River Arms have a polymer frame 1911?
Thank you for posting videos everyday!
Thoughts on the RIA double stack 10mm 1911?
I thought .45 has to be snappy until I found a Kahr P45. And it only weighs 18.8 oz - significantly lighter than this Kimber BP Ten. So it's not all in the weight. I also have a Charter Arms Pitbull in .45, which kicks pretty well.
Have a stainless gold cup model ten ii and love it......great shooter.....
Erik why do you ride the reset on your trigger?
I've never seen one of these. I thought STI in Para were the only double stacks in town. pretty freakin sweet I wonder how much that polymer lower helps with weight and how durable it is (I guess pretty durable if it's from the Clinton days)...
I did not read all the comments, but did you ever figure out what was causing the malfunctions? That had to be a horrible feeling, raving about the lack of malfunctions, and then bam! The camera hits you with Murphy's law. But I do love 1911s... and this is the first time I've seen the BP Ten.
u and the guy from demolition ranch should do a video together
YES!
+BossinDawson253 it would be cool
shoot yeah!
The internet would likely implode on itself, and every woman within 50 miles of the blast would instantly be pregnant...🦄🔥👍🏻🙊

You can't go wrong with a .45 ACP and you can't go wrong with a Kimber. Although I'll pick my Eclipse Custom 2 any day when it comes to Kimbers (or 1911s in general), I would feel confident defending my loved ones, self, property, home, valuables, business, etc... with this gun. I remember seeing ads by Kimber in gun magazines in the late 1990s and early 2000s that displayed several 1911s, one of which was a high capacity, polymer frame gun but I seem to remember it with a different model number. Did they make another polymer 1911 or is this the one I'm thinking of?
I liked what I saw of Chad"s FNX .45 Tactical but, for a tactical .45 ACP with a threaded barrel, long slide, high capacity mags, accessories, etc... I'll still pick the H&K USP .45 Tactical I think. In all fairness, I've never handled (much less fired) an FNX so......
Did anyone else notice the bullets ricocheting off of the ground around 0:07?
I see all your,s vídeos fron Argentina, very nice vídeos.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
can you do a 10/22 melt down
Can you guys do a review on a Taurus PT 840 if you haven't already. I have one and I would like to see what you guys do a review on one.
Is there a double stack 9mm kimber
Would really liked to have seen the backs of the watermelons that had the misfortune of meeting those Xtreme Defenders.
A small trip down there with the camera while you reset the range once in a while would be a cool treat, especially when demonstrating things you can't really see from the front. Thanks for the vids as always.
There's not too many higher capacity .45's out there. I like my gen3 glock 21sf for this reason. 13+1 is pretty nice.
This video made me use the google. Para ordnance double stack 1911s are awesome. The black ops threaded barrel is only $1450.
Seraphiel Campbell rock island armory has a double stack for about 900 with adjustable sights and some other goodies
+Garrett Martin or you can get a cz97 clone sar k2 45 with 14+1 for under 400. better single action then alot of semi custom 1911's
I like my full-size Springfield XD 5" for that reason as well. It also holds 13+1
get an STI then
hi I am wondering about open carry I live in Colorado and am not yet 21 so I can't purchase or concealed carry a hand gun yet I still feel like I would like to be able to protect and defend my self in the sketchyer parts of town what do you recommend
This looks a lot like all the new 2011’s out there, kind of… wonder if any of these are around today?
have you guys done a review on a tanfoglio yet?
Hey Eric,
i'm from Germany and i really enjoy your videos. Our ministry of defense recently announced, that the G36 has no future in the German armed forces because of reliability issues. (If thats really the case is up for discussion) Now that Germany is looking for a new standard service rifle i am interested in what you think a good, or maybe even perfect service rifle should be like. Caliber, barrel length, features, etc. Maybe you could do a discussion round with Chad?
Greetings from Germany!
Hey Eric, I know you shoot at your own range, but wheres the best outdoor range in the central and northern Georgia area?
the firing seems smooth
Hey Eric, any chance you could get your hands on a FAMAS to show us? I'd love to hear about that weapon from you, but I hear they're pretty rare to find in the US :C
I carry my kimber tle custom II everyday and only clean or oil it maybe every six months no rust
i would definitely pick one of those up...
That Kimber love though...Gotta love my Kimber Ultra Crimson Carry ||!
a CZ-75 with polymer, steel, and aluminum sounds like it would have less recoil, but a stronger frontal push because because of the low ass friction caused by the metal used for the slide .3.
which im pretty sure he said was steel
I love it! My has the external extractor and has some issues like 2 in 50 will fail to extract so not too bad.
I just can't stick around past the first 5-10 minutes of these clippings! Am I the only one feeling that way?
Great video, I have the BP10II and am very fond of it. It was just to early for its time and didn't catch on. who wouldnt like a double stack 45. I thing there are Para Ordinance mags for it.
Wow nice find. What do you thing about the STI 2011?
