I’ve been wanting to shoot this gun for a few years. First time ever shooting today:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeYyWk2aDFk&ab_channel=JoonKim The iron sight recoil is very unique; sight tracking is very different from Glock. As expected, it kicks back harder rather than up, and muzzle movement feels quite snappy. There is not a whole lot of mass at the muzzle so it makes sense. Grip and handling are similar to Glock so the gun fits in my hand perfectly. Fit and finish are fantastic. The trigger is something I have to get used to. The gun was in new condition so it needs a break in. The optic mounted configuration is very nice but the dot movement is not a compelling advantage over other guns out there. Hands down coolest pistol I’ve ever seen in my life. Last note: the checkered grip on backstrap is absolutely amazing. What yall think? |

Very cool! That’s interesting how you describe the recoil impulse… I would expect it to shoot exceptionally flat because of the low bore axis.
Also, is the trigger heavy? Nice shooting by the way. |

Take up and reset were great but the break felt pretty heavy for a technically hammer fired pistol |

I'm wondering who else has one of these. After firing it I've lost interest in other pistols. Sure, price is a factor when buying. But when deciding which gun is the best to shoot it just is what it is. I love this one.

I have one but I have only fired about 100 rounds out of it.
I shoot a LOT of competition style pistols and the first time I shot it the muzzle was dipping...I realized that was me engaging in recoil control for a more flippy pistol. Its the best $3000 handgun in the world based on my initial analysis. Its...not worth $6000. Unless you literally have nothing else to do with $6000. Which is where I was in my gun collecting realm. Once you are DONE with NV stuff, and got your M2HB on...and and and...then maybe. |

They need to come out with a threaded barrel I can swap for my non- threaded and +5 mag extensions. |

Liking it so far. Its definitely the "I'm bored with gun shit and literally can't think of anything else to buy" gun.

I just bought one. You can still find them brand new and unfired.
It’s truly an amazing gun. I’ve purchase some “expensive” guns before than turned out to suck, but this thing is excellent. I had to go out of town right after shooting it for the first time and genuinely missed it while I was gone. 😀 |

Lancer is selling their remaining Aliens on clearance.
I still don't have any mag base pad extensions or a threaded barrel. Mags are out of stock as well. Per Lancer the pistol isn't discontinued it will be available via Laugo USA at some point. Had thoughts of selling mine, the full kit is going for 2k more than I paid for it currently. |

Non Laugo owner here. The price really isn't that crazy if it does something other pistols don't, and arguably it does. Most of us have 6K tied up in pistols we don't shoot much. I actually hope it starts dominating production or Limited, because I think you'd then see some genuine innovation and competition back in the pistol space. Compare this with the Sig 320, Glock Gen 5, etc, and its pretty clear that the Laugo is the first actual new thing in a while.

Would love to see a model chambered for Best-Meter (ie., 10mm AUTO). |

I picked up one of these a few months ago.
It is a pleasure to shoot and very easy to control. I've only put 100 rounds into it so far but each round was satisfying and on target. You almost can't miss. It's expensive, so there's that. I have the second generation version (not the signature edition and not the newer "creator" version). The grip is like a CZ grip, so if you like that (which I do) then that's the one to get. The newer Creator version has a more vertical style grip but is more dollars. |

Should be made in 10mm …. then we’d have some real ‘alien’ awesomeness.

I traded my Alien kit for an Atlas Nyx. The Alien is a good pistol but the Nyx has magazine compatibility and is a bit better pistol.

I'm sure they shoot amazing. I just can't conceive buying a $4-6K pistol that looks like a Canik. I guess if you already have a safe full of real nice 2011s and 1911s.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By RangeToy: How does the Atlas shoot v the Alien as far as recoil etc go? I dont have an Atlas, but I have a polymer grip 2011. I have the Creator Limited Optics model so it has a 2011ish grip angle. Alien More felt recoil Slide cycles very fast Dot just sort of wiggles up a little bit A full mag seats as easily as an empty mag 2011 Much softer recoiling Slide feels very smooth but sluggish More vertical dot movement but easy to track with how smooth the gun feels IMO, it’s kind of like a Glock vs P320. I feel that Glock are snappier but the sights recover quicker while the P320 feels softer but has more of a rocking motion. If you’ve shot both and have the same thoughts, that’s what the Alien vs 2011 is like, but a step up in quality and feel. |
