This gun is exceptional at first glance. It is a revolutionary semi-automatic pistol that boasts several patented, unique technical solutions. As the manufacturer states, it is the "first of its kind." The Alien control system, for example, does not use outdated locking mechanisms or the usual trigger mechanism.
The Alien pistol is made by Laugo Arms Czechoslovakia, a company originally founded in Trenčín and later relocated to Prague. Thus, Alien has Czech-Slovak origins, both in development and production. The originality is already noticeable in the design – featuring an impressive look, robust construction and modularity. Thanks to this, Alien by Laugo Arms has already become a holder of significant awards.
Alien Creator is a limited edition of this original pistol, which will be available in only 500 pieces. Of these, only 30 pieces will be released for the Czech market. The limited edition differs not only in design but also functionally. We must mention the more ergonomic design (such as grips or slide releases) and the new handle angle (like the 1911).
Other changes in the limited edition compared to the standard model include a modifiable grip with interchangeable panels on the rear and front, as well as more pronounced front slide serrations. Also more pronounced is the loaded chamber indicator, and we must not overlook the new barrel coating, which extends its lifespan.
The barrel of the pistol is firmly embedded in the frame of the weapon, contributing to higher accuracy in shooting, as well as the precise processing of this solution. The lowest barrel placement of any pistol on the market with the axis of the barrel 1.7mm below the grip axis ensures an almost imperceptible rise during firing. The manufacturer states that this and other solutions "will change your perception of firearms".
Increased control over the weapon during shooting is provided by a special system from Laugo Arms, which uses a delayed gas recoil system. Instead of outdated locking bolts, the Alien pistol uses gas piston recoil delay against slide movement. The stronger the bullet, the more it slows the recoil. Even with stronger ammunition, your control over the recoil does not diminish.
The upper part of the slide can be exchanged with a single click, giving you the ability to add various types of sliding rails for sights, reflex sights, red dots or MIL-STD-1913 (Picatinny) rails to the pistol. Increased modularity also ensures the possibility of modifying the pistol with an OPEN division set, which includes a compensator, upper rail, extended magazine well and more.
We mentioned above the reduction of recoil when using different types of ammunition. The pistol's solution has another advantage in this respect. Thanks to the sights, which are fixed on the (non-moving) upper rail, the recoil is reduced, which can significantly extend the lifetime of the reflex sight you decide to use with this pistol.
In addition to the above-mentioned original solutions, the Laugo Arms Alien pistol also has classic features, which are relatively common in this segment. It certainly pleases with ambidextrous magazine release (so it doesn't matter if you're right- or left-handed), a trigger safety, a short Picatinny rail on the underside of the barrel, interchangeable grips for further customization of the pistol, or adjustable metal sights.
Thanks to the fact that the pistol is supplied in the Full Kit variant, you get a lot of practical accessories in one package. The pistol packed in a Nanuk case with prominent safety padding is accompanied by a rail with a Laugo reflex sight, an extended magazine well, three magazines, a kydex holster with an H6H MKII suspension or a basic set of weapon cleaning chemicals.
