    They were nice and offered preorder dibs to people who own the signature edition…

    Might use it in LO…

    The new grip angle of the Creator caters to shooters who prefer a traditional 1911 style point-of-aim."


    Curious how that grip angle compares with a Shadow2. I very much do not prefer a 1911 grip angle. The S2 is very popular in competition, so this looks like a step in the wrong direction.

    The original has a Glock angle.

    This one I think can do 1911-CZ…

    I like it. Looking forward to your evaluation. Thanks for being the guinea pig.

    I haven't pulled the two of mine into competition yet for a couple reasons:

    1. I normally use Syntech and that's a no-go with the gas system of the Alien.
    2. Replacement parts are scarce so I bought two guns initially so that I'd have backup.
    3. Grip angle would need retraining from me if I used it.

    So #1 I can deal with.
    #2 Can be solved with three copies of the gun and Laugo now has opened their US branch.
    #3 Solved with the Creator edition, I think.

    I think initially the Alien was re-selling on Gunbroker for 2-4x the purchase price when stock was low.

    The Creator edition will be worth that as well, I'd think if I don't like it.

    They also gave Signature owners $500 off the price so that's decent.

    It'd be a decent alternative to a 2011 in LO.

    Yeah I have a Creator on the way to add to my other two.

    Hey fellow Alien owners, how do you manage that mag well screw that constantly goes out after couple dozens of shots fired? I got upgraded springs for mags and now reloading and chambering 1st round isnt an issue anymore but that mag well screw is a real bugger, tried Loctite that usually worked to keep things in place but little to no luck in this case. Really appreciate any input or ideas.
