SHOT Show 2026 — BUL Armory | The 1911/2011 Link Trigger System
SHOT Show 2026 in Las Vegas (Jan 20–23 at the Venetian Expo + Caesars Forum), and I stopped by the @BULArmory booth to get a closer look at something that actually matters on a 1911/2011: the trigger system. Not “does it feel nice for three dry presses at the booth,” but how it’s built, how adaptable it is, and what it lets you change without turning your pistol into a weekend-long science fair.
BUL’s Link Trigger System is essentially a modular approach to the trigger interface. The concept is simple: instead of reworking everything when you want a different trigger feel, you can swap trigger links to change the interface and how the trigger presents. BUL’s pitch is that you can switch links quickly — they’re claiming under 60 seconds — and get back to shooting without reinstalling the trigger or chasing a full re-tune.
They’re also not treating the links like cosmetic accessories. The whole point is that each link provides a different trigger interface, giving shooters the ability to dial in feel in a more controlled and repeatable way. It’s built specifically with modern double-stack 1911 platforms in mind, and BUL lists twelve different trigger links that can be purchased individually, in black and silver finishes. They’re also positioning the system to support future link designs as needs evolve, which tells you they’re thinking long-term instead of treating it like a one-and-done gimmick.
On the parts side, BUL offers a Link Trigger Bow kit listed at $55.90, which includes the link trigger bow and link screw (with the link sold separately). At least at the time of the listing info I’m referencing, it’s shown as sold out, with black and silver options noted.
Now the adult disclaimer (because yeah, this stuff matters): BUL is clear that this part is intended for compatible pistols only, and that incorrect installation or misuse can cause serious harm — with the recommendation that it be installed by a competent gunsmith. That’s not marketing fluff. That’s the reality of trigger components in this platform.
Bottom line: if this system performs the way it’s intended, it gives shooters a practical way to fine-tune trigger feel with less downtime and less “one tweak turned into a full rebuild.” And honestly, that’s the kind of innovation I’d rather see than another round of shallow cosmetic updates.
