Laugo Arms Alien Pistol...

[bac1023]

I just picked up this baby yesterday. Can't wait to shoot it. Its like nothing I ever owned before.

Anybody have one here?

I've never heard of it before. But the more I look at it the more I am feeling like I need one. Where did you find ? What kind of money do they run, I would guess a pretty penny.

Beautiful pistol! I would love to pick one up, but $5000 is more than I want to pay for a single handgun. I hope that some of the Alien's features make their way into more affordable guns.

Amazing appearance and workmanship. Looks like the designer even signed the carrying case.

 

[bac1023]

Yes, they were $5000 plus tax and shipping. However, some people are flipping them on Gunbroker for much, much more.

Give us a range report when you get a chance.

Looks good, I like the additional red dot slide/top but about 5x out of my price range.

Nice, That is more then I paid for my first new car.

Wow, that's some pretty exciting stuff!

I wonder how that will come into play in competitions? Go into unlimited classes?

 

[wild cat mccane]

Are the sights worth writing about? Notice no rear picture for them?

 

[bac1023]

It’s designed for Production Competition.

The sights are great, in my opinion.

The only things I know of that the Alien is competitive at are IPSC Production and IDPA ESP.

I don't know whether NROI can squint hard enough to say it meets USPSA Production specs.

I don't know just what you mean by "unlimited classes."
Certainly not USPSA or IPSC Open.

That's one fine pistol. But if I decided to drop that much cabbage on a handgun, it would be a Cabot 1911 - because I'm a lefty, and I've always wanted a 1911.

Not really my style personally and way out of my price range. Really cool gun, but not being a pro shooter I doubt it would really benefit me in any way other than cool factor.... I will stick with my G19....

 

[Jim Watson]

There was a rumor that the designers would really like to license the design to a large gun company like they did with the CZ Scorpion EVO.

That should bring the price down, but would also likely give up some of the Old World Craftsmanship that bac prizes. Not that an Alien of TSO quality would be a bad thing, if priced accordingly.

Seems like a lot of money for a 9mm Luger, though I do note it comes with several built in cheese graters!!

All jokes aside, 9mm pistols have proven to be the most valuable semi autos. Most high end pistols that have gone through the roof in value and price are 9mm.

Actually nothing else really comes close.

You sure don’t need to be a professional shooter to reap the benefits of a gun like the Alien and unless you’re blind you’ll shoot it better than a G19.

Shoot it better how though? Anything I’ve seen on this is more about speed and recoil (which is certainly important for competition and timed events) than accuracy. It’s no doubt accurate, but most production pistols can do 2-3” at 25 yd. While there are absolutely shooters that can do that while standing, my experience is it is not remotely common. The trigger on the Laugo looks excellent, but even stock triggers can allow good shooting.

Let’s be realistic, this is a luxury pistol like a luxury automobile. If you have the money and you want to appreciate the finer things more power to you. If all you’re worried about is commuting to work you may be fine with a basic daily driver.
