Laugo Arms Alien Pistol...

[Jim Watson]

Pretty good for a boutique product.

JCN is very analytical and I am sure we will get a report on Regular vs American Laugos.
I hope he likes it and shoots it a lot.
There are high volume shooters who think nothing of paying $5000 or more but the gun must be durable, reliable, and effective. If it won't hang with, say, a Nemesis, it isn't interesting.

Jim,
I personally don’t see the Aliens as major competitors to the top 2011 pistols, but rather a unique design with unique shooting characteristics. Atlas 2011’s are tough to beat as pure shooters.

Actually got word mine is shipping now

Tuesday arrival for mine, estimated.

Thanks! I agree. There's enough European IPSC shooters with them that there's been some experience with them and durability.

I'm not running them in competition until there's enough support equipment to keep them running (and there's not good 140mm competition extensions yet).


So I'll have three of the Aliens just so I'll have spare parts and practice equipment.

Laugo USA just got a stock of replacement parts so I ordered some small parts like extractors and slide stops, recoil springs and gas piston assemblies so I can tune equipment without worrying about going too far.

It'll probably still be a couple years before I'd dedicate time to the platform, but it has some really attractive shooting dynamics.

I normally shoot Syntech that's coated, it isn't really good with gas piston guns though... shavings of polymer clog the gas system.

So I'd have to switch ammo as well.

I shoot coated reloads, which has discouraged me from having my No 2 IDPA ESP ported.
Once upon a time I shot some cast bullets in a P7. The gas cylinder was not badly leaded but enough to let me know to stick to jacketed.

Grip angle is perfectly CZ to me. At least with irons. With swap to dot and see what it does.

I am only interested in this pistol for it's uniqueness but I laugh and salute you for owning 3 of these

They’re pretty cool guns

As soon as I pick up my Creator, I’ll have three myself

Looks great

I assume you prefer the grip angle over the standard Alien?

I do, but mainly because I compete with CZs.

If I were a mainly Glock shooter, the original Alien grip angle is closer to that.

I salute you too.

This gun doesn't have a purpose for me but I love the idea and oddity lol
