Hands on with the $5,000 Laugo Alien Pistol At Range Day [SHOT Show 2020]

  • James Reeves speaks with the people at Laugo and Lancer about the upcoming Laugo Alien at Range Day for SHOT Show 2020. Per Nick C. of TFB:
    "You may have heard of Laugo Arms. They are the ones who designed the CZ Scorpion Evo 3 and sold it to Česká zbrojovka aka CZ. They have been teasing photos of the Laugo Arms Alien pistol. It has such a different approach and they are clearly going after the competition market with this offering.
    From the side, the pistols just looks like any ordinary handgun with some wild looking slide cuts. But once you look at it from the front you immediately notice something different. The barrel is firmly seated in the frame and not the slide. Does this remind you of anything?
    This results in a reduction of muzzle climb. It is simple physics. The higher the bore the more muzzle climb. According to Recoil Magazine: ” Laugo touts the Alien as having the lowest bore axis of any pistol in the world.” However, there is another pistol that has a lower bore axis. The TDI Vector prototype and the KRISS Vector pistol both have lower bore axes. In fact, the TDI prototype bore axis is far below the trigger. Whereas the Vector has the bore axis in line with the trigger.
    But the Laugo Arms Alien is not just a semi-auto handgun with a low bore axis. It features a quick change top rail. Allowing shooters to switch from iron sights to an optic setup within seconds.
    Did you notice how the sights are fixed? They do not reciprocate with the slide. This is something you typically see in competition handguns in the Limited Division. And you usually see it as a sight tracker on 2011 handguns. By having the front sight mounted to the barrel, you achieve weight reduction in the slide which aids in reducing recoil and muzzle climb. And if you are a competent shooter, your front sight should not move and you have faster follow up shots. Most running and gunning competitions like 3Gun and USPSA require two rounds on paper targets."

What I do have a problem, is spending even 1K and then seeing the company exit because they don't have enough clients to have sustainable growth. Also, if they don't sell a lot, will we see a lot of support from 3rd party add-on manufacturers? Perhaps I don't like the included holster. Will the 3rd party manufacturers spend the money knowing that there are so few of those? Did the strategy to launch with a "signed" limited product and sell at a higher dollar per ticket a good decision? Time will tell. I love the gun - I may go ahead and order it today in fact. I would not be telling the truth if I am not saying, I am taking a chance. We heard nothing about how well capitalized the company is. This would have made us feel a lot better. Just a thought.

      You can say 5k is way too much til the cows come home, but the fact of the matter is Professional (and even amateur competitive shooters) already buy custom 2011's for 3k-4k. Then get custom work done on top of that. Then there's the Czechmate which is 3.5k. same story, people buy it and then get custom work on top of that.

    I really love my Alien! Great handgun. If you limited on the number of pistols you are allowed to own, like me in Germany, sooner or later you will buy the best gun you can afford. Price is secondary in that case. I saved two years for a good cometition pistol, and then Laugo Arms released the Alien. It was love on first sight, and I dont regret spending so much money. I waited 8 month for mine. I think their strategy to compete in the upper price segment of high quality cometition guns is the right decision. Why competing in a market segment domonated by the big players like Glock? It may not be the best bang for your money, but it is the best bang you can buy, and it is technically unique. I have one of the first 500 produced, so whatever happens, the gun will only go up in value.

    • @maximilianmustermann5763
      @maximilianmustermann5763 4 роки тому +1

      Well said. I mean the price is still high even for the German market, but we're used to high prices anyways. I mean a S&W 686 that goes for 899 USD list price in the US is in stores for 1399 Euros in Germany for example.
      On German gun ranges, you're not used to seeing pistols below the 1500 Euro mark at all because people can't just buy and sell guns like in the US, we are aiming for the highest possible quality for every slot on our gun licence. The law forces us to be active in competitions, and so you're just trying to get the best. The hobby is expensive around here anyways, so a thousand more or less for one of your competition guns doesn't make that much of a difference to a lot of people.
      You also have to acknowledge that the Alien for the high price comes with a high quality red dot sight plus iron sights that can be changed in seconds, plus a competition belt and holster. Those extras could easily cost a thousand bucks if bought seperately. It's a pure bred race gun for dynamic competition shooting.

    I absolutely love the concept Engineering of this gun. Very innovative. Love the red dot not moving and the muzzle recovery being so quick and so small. I don't even have a concern of paying 5K. I payed much more for a SIG P210, or about the same for a SIG P226 X6 or an STI (actually more). My fear is that, at this price point, most people won't buy it, and it would make the company struggle. Will this company be here to support this 5K purchase in 1 year? In 10 years? That is my concern. Are they sustainable? In lieu of they "signature series", would it have been a better step to start with the basic gun around $1500 to $2,000? SIG's P226 Legion RX SAO is around that price with the Co-Witnessed optic (and that's SIG - a world class company with decades of history, hundreds of people on staff in multiple countries, etc.). Can they make it?

      Guaranteed the Pre-orders will sell out. This isn't an everyman's gun. This is for the racers. It's somewhat comparable to a tricked out 2011 or Czechmate in price. Just because it's out of your price range doesn't mean it's overpriced. It's not like it costs as much to make as a Glock and then they ratchet the price up to 11. Considering all the design and engineering that went into this, along with the fact that it's low production, yeah, it's gonna be expensive. They're they only company making a gun like this, and from what I've heard it actually makes a massive difference.
      Much like Ferraris and Lamborghinis, this is a specialty piece. It's expensive, it's more than most people could spend on a gun, but it's certainly not without cause, and people will eat this up.
