BUL Armory is an Israeli-based company founded in 1990 that specialized in the development, construction, and maintenance of shooting ranges. They quickly realized there was a market for polymer-framed 1911-style pistols, which they introduced in 1992 with the BUL M-5. Since then, the company’s handguns have adapted to meet the needs of competitive shooters who are looking for a budget-friendly 1911 to get them into competition.

In 2006, BUL Armory revamped its lineup again and began offering the Cherokee and Cherokee Compact, with a focus on the military and LEO market. We got the latter in for review and put it through its paces.Despite the name, the Cherokee Compact is a large gun with a 17+1 capacity that closely resembles the EAA Witness. It features large finger grooves and an aggressive grip texture. If you’ve been following my reviews for any time, then you know I’m a fan of aggressive grip texture, and this pistol certainly delivers some of the most aggressive grips I’ve ever felt. Though I’m not a huge fan of finger grooves on guns, these didn’t cause me any issues and should fit shooters with even the largest hands.
