And the Walther CCP. Its just a gas delayed blowback. It is neat looking and I'd love to shoot one but its probably just too expensive to get a foothold with buyers. Even USPSA/IPSC competitors.
I guess the 1st 500 are going to be "special edition" im hearing. They are only another grand bringing it to $5000. I'd like to try one but I don't need the special edition if I was sold on it. It looks like a pretty flat shooter even with 124gr Nato spec ball. It could potentially be an awesome USPSA production/limited gun.
Not the same implementation obviously, but the same idea. Personally, as lovely as this pistol is were I given a choice between the two I would still myself choose the P7.
This gun, and the FK BRNO are truly ingenious, interesting, and well made guns. It's a shame the $5k price keeps most away from enjoying what Ian just experienced.
Dealers have them starting at $5999. Which at that price point they'll never sell. Even if it's marketed as a competition shooting gun. At that price it's competing with full house custom open division race guns and losing at that. Makers like SVI, Limcat, and Atlas.
@@Hickeroar I wouldn't be surprised if the plan is to pull a Boberg Arms and sell or license the design. They probably don't have the equipment to go into full scale production.
This is for dynamic shooting competitions (IPSC) same as the FK BRNO. Shooting fast, precise at distance all these guns are expensive (of course depending on the discipline). Looking at the competition that price is not far out, I think one of the most popular guns there is the SIG Sauer X-Five Open which will set you back about $4k.

@@stephenjameson4911 We have over 2.3 million gun owners and only a population of 8.4 million (we also have the worlds largest shooting competition with over 130'000 competitors in 2019)... that said, it must be more than a large number of gun enthusiasts. Fascinating how such a strong and innovative industry is growing in CZ.

It's old technology but different in the way it is implemented design-wise. Both the Steyr Gb and the HK P7 use the same basic gas-brake piston concept but modeled differently in each gun. The technology is late 1944-45 era from the Volkssturmgewehr rifle. It uses the gas from the barrel to hold the slide from moving backward until the bullet has left the barrel and the pressure has decreased, allowing the slide to recoil back.
@@johnski4709 the innovation comes from combining that old technology in a layout that affords truly low bore axis and fixed rib containing the trigger and hammer. I think its fantastic and cant wait.
Yes but it's certainly not $6000 fantastic. I would caution against the hype of being offered the Moon on a stick. It's a cool looking gun that basically Chiappa-Rhino'd your typical handgun by putting the barrel underneath the operating system, Cool beans.
Great gun for competition. The only downside is the price. The only thing I can afford from Czechoslovakia is their famous Pilsner Urquell beer. Cheers!
I’m thinking that the Czech Republic is #1 in small arms innovation in Europe. So long Germany. I think it’s great. We, over here in the US love the firearms from the Czech Republic. Love you guys. God bless you for building implements for the preservation of freedom.
Germany has shitty laws and regulations and would make it really hard for a medium-sized gun manufacturer like Laugo Arms. We still have a bunch of good little boutique shops that make very good competition guns, but they stay small and under the radar. Apart from that, we still have the big names like Walther and H&K, but there is nothing in the middle because the civilian market is so small.
Nice, just the price is a bit higher than the few super premium handguns. Why can’t they set the price like Chiappa? I went very cheap but I spent $1,300 on my Chiappa Rhino 40DS
Wait and see how reliable it is over time. That is a small return spring to feed 17 round mags much less 27 round mags. If the firearm was all it took to win, the PC crowd would be cleaning up in overall placement. You still have transition, movement and tactics to compete. The pistol and splits are a small part. Important but not the total. BUT wish I could get my hands on one.
Wait?!? Why did you guys make this big long video and not answer any of our questions? Like..did you have any malfunctions? is it fully ambi why didn't you run it with a red dot? How much faster were your times then with a competition pistol? When can we buy one here in the US!?! Come on guys you can do better this video Went over none of the features and answered 0 questions about the gun
bingo. This stinks of marketing hype that always seems to attract like moths to a flame. I hope it's all it's said to be but if it was they would not be hyping it like this. Most really good things get noticed because they are intrinsically good, not because of cool names, logos and ... videos that don't tell you anything.
They run between 5 and 6k, I remember seeing ads for this in recoil magazine at the beginning of 2019. Yeah its fast and the barrel and sights never move but I'd be interested in seeing what kind of abuse it can take and how it performs In a gauntlet type test. Something tells me it won't fair so well
Exactly. If we are comparing barrel rise/recoil, I want to see the gun's performance at fixed distances, and where the shot pattern starts to spread out.
@@miguelgalvez6447 It's a high end competition and costs no more than any other pistol intended for serious competition use. You probably would consider a Formula 1 racer a bit spendier than a Honda Civic.
Very nice but the real question is: When they plan to make a real production batch and start selling it to us? 500 pieces worldwide is a little bit too few...
@@CharlieMikeNS Except it does, the rulebooks don't care what a manufacturer labels a part, they have their own definitions, and single action guns, and hammers, are very clearly defined, and the Alien very clearly has one. If Laugo made it a striker fired design, all would be well, but they didn't, so now the rule book contradicts the approved handguns list and RO's have to enforce confusing rules, and competitors get shafted because of it.
@@Ihasanart I was being sarcastic. Of course the Alien is SAO. But Laugo literally call it a striker fired system for some stupid reason. And somehow it's allowed in production. So I was joking that this is why.
They need to reengineer this thing and get the price way down. Cool design though. I'd like to see a gas operated pistol that is direct impingement like a miniature ar15 action.
Is it possible to shoot 9mm Major? Since the Alien is not recognised (unfortunately) in IPSC Production Optics Division is there any plans that Alien comes in IPSC Open Division (and what about the Open class accessories)? Good Luck ALIEN!!!
@@Sapphire1987 They've released a mount that attached the optic to the slide making it "production legal", originally it wasn't, though how legal is that is anyone's guess considering its a single action hammer fired design, that is on the production list... Wonder how much Laugo bribed IPSC for that one?
To bad for the $5,000 dollar price tag announced with the partnership and American availability at Shot Show it would have been a game changer if had been if it was in the Glock price range!
There's still a level of recoil to this firearm platform, sure it looks to be less recoiling but a CZ Shadow 2 properly tuned can do the same for a lot less money... Also, a 2011 race gun but then again, that's gonna be costly too!
Nice Video! We did test the gun it's great. We will release a detailed review of the ALIEN in less than 24h. Check it out and comment! Let us know what you think about the new gun.
Your director needs to focus on the parts and features during assembly so we have an idea of how it comes together. Im not interested in the laugo arms guys, i want to see the gun.
The gun is very cool, a few thoughts however: The price is far too high for what you're getting (reasons below) The breakdown is overly complicated which makes it seem like only a toy as opposed to practical use of any type Competition shooting at that price you could buy a great gun, like a shadow 2 and your full rig plus a few thousand rounds to practice with and be better served. And in modified you could modify your guns to outperform it for less. The gun is wasted on 9mm. The recoil reduction system should be used with a 10mm round, give the gun a practical application as 9mm has such a light recoil as it is. Until the price drops and they come out with a useful firearm I'll stick to my CZ's
The price is reasonable for limited 1st run, man. Those are already collectibles. I agree, that the gun is basically for competition along with Berretta X or Shadow 2. However, I could see military express interest in a pistol, that has fixed, low bore barrell and little muzzle flip.
@@OkurkaBinLadin I agree on the engineering principles. I think they're a fantastic idea that needs to be borrowed and widely implemented. My argument is just because something is rare does not mean it is valuable. This lacks any real purpose and as such it cannot equal that value placed on it
When Ruger, Smith, Hell even Glock remakes this low barrel, I'll buy one.. Obtaining parts for this Gen 1 Unicorn of an amazing pistol will be impossible, at best, in the future. @ $5k a gun (I get it, it's the signature line) this is nothing more than a Rich mans, "DMD". If they were at $2,000 I might save and buy one, but they will never be that low, IMO. This is will I'll wait, if this is such amazing technology, it will inspire a whole generation of new guns to be made. The principal behind the low barrel is incredible. The inverted slide is amazing. What would be even more amazing is if the made the barrel and slide move in opposite directions as a counter balanced handgun. Talk about a flat shooter at close range. Felt recoil would be ZERO. I really hope this inspires a whole new wave of handguns for the future.
Any company can fail, but it should be pointed out that Hudson was a new company that suffered from bad subcontractors and poor planning; whereas Laugo has been around awhile and they do their own manufacturing.
ostiariusalpha and furthermore the Hudson 9 was nothing more than a glock copy with a frame weight and 1911 esthetics. It did not have very low bor axis. The alien on the other hand really does have a super low bore axis.
@@antonw-uw4ov There isn't a single thing on the H9 that has any connection or throwback to a Glock. Have you ever actually fired one? I won't go to defend the Hudson's failings with the whole mess but the gun does shoot & handle well.
No it's not really things that glock invented but rather "popularized". The Barrel locking and the locking block is very "glockish" wich is why it has basically the same bore axis offset. The slide and fire control group is not really a copy but again: same exact solution and operation and almost the same layout of parts, especially in the slide. And i will admit i have never fired a Hudson, a dealer close to me had one but no one in know wanted to pay 2000$ for it as it was just as Hudson went bankrupt. I have however fired an alien several times and there is no doubt when you take it appart that the bore axis is lower than most every other pistol. But i honestly think the difference between a low bore axis like a glock or a super low like an alien is pretty minute even though it's noticeable, for sure not worth the 4000$ price difference.
This is excellent and innovative gun (same like HK P7 or Steyr GB80). But the Laugo Arms greediness concerning the price is greatly exaggerated. This gun is produced in Czechoslovakia, Denmark or Switzerland are countries with high labor costs. Czechoslovakia doesn't have high labor costs at all, also the fact that the gun are factored mostly by CNC machines. The price are for me ridiculous and not acceptable.
It's a pro race gun for IPSC production. People are going to buy this. A lot of people? No. But that's why it's so expensive. It's basically a boutique shop match gun.
I got #124. The best I got is 10 rounds before jam. Shot over 500 rounds . Waste of money. Lancer will not reply to me. I think they are over weld with complaints.
It would have nice if you talked about shooting and how it performed! It’s a firearm hardly anyone in the US, UK etc has any access to let alone know anything about. C’mon man! 😬

The breakdown is overly complicated which makes it seem like only a toy as opposed to practical use of any type
Competition shooting at that price you could buy a great gun, like a shadow 2 and your full rig plus a few thousand rounds to practice with and be better served. And in modified you could modify your guns to outperform it for less.
The gun is wasted on 9mm. The recoil reduction system should be used with a 10mm round, give the gun a practical application as 9mm has such a light recoil as it is.
Until the price drops and they come out with a useful firearm I'll stick to my CZ's
The price is reasonable for limited 1st run, man. Those are already collectibles.
I agree, that the gun is basically for competition along with Berretta X or Shadow 2. However, I could see military express interest in a pistol, that has fixed, low bore barrell and little muzzle flip.
@@OkurkaBinLadin I agree on the engineering principles. I think they're a fantastic idea that needs to be borrowed and widely implemented.
My argument is just because something is rare does not mean it is valuable. This lacks any real purpose and as such it cannot equal that value placed on it
looks like the salient arms strike one, strike a and strike b
So here me out...
Extended threaded barrel in 45acp. Please. Paired with an OSS Suppressor
When Ruger, Smith, Hell even Glock remakes this low barrel, I'll buy one.. Obtaining parts for this Gen 1 Unicorn of an amazing pistol will be impossible, at best, in the future. @ $5k a gun (I get it, it's the signature line) this is nothing more than a Rich mans, "DMD". If they were at $2,000 I might save and buy one, but they will never be that low, IMO. This is will I'll wait, if this is such amazing technology, it will inspire a whole generation of new guns to be made. The principal behind the low barrel is incredible. The inverted slide is amazing. What would be even more amazing is if the made the barrel and slide move in opposite directions as a counter balanced handgun. Talk about a flat shooter at close range. Felt recoil would be ZERO. I really hope this inspires a whole new wave of handguns for the future.
Please don’t be a Hudson.
Any company can fail, but it should be pointed out that Hudson was a new company that suffered from bad subcontractors and poor planning; whereas Laugo has been around awhile and they do their own manufacturing.
ostiariusalpha and furthermore the Hudson 9 was nothing more than a glock copy with a frame weight and 1911 esthetics. It did not have very low bor axis. The alien on the other hand really does have a super low bore axis.
@@antonw-uw4ov There isn't a single thing on the H9 that has any connection or throwback to a Glock. Have you ever actually fired one?
I won't go to defend the Hudson's failings with the whole mess but the gun does shoot & handle well.
No it's not really things that glock invented but rather "popularized". The Barrel locking and the locking block is very "glockish" wich is why it has basically the same bore axis offset. The slide and fire control group is not really a copy but again: same exact solution and operation and almost the same layout of parts, especially in the slide. And i will admit i have never fired a Hudson, a dealer close to me had one but no one in know wanted to pay 2000$ for it as it was just as Hudson went bankrupt. I have however fired an alien several times and there is no doubt when you take it appart that the bore axis is lower than most every other pistol. But i honestly think the difference between a low bore axis like a glock or a super low like an alien is pretty minute even though it's noticeable, for sure not worth the 4000$ price difference.
This is excellent and innovative gun (same like HK P7 or Steyr GB80).
But the Laugo Arms greediness concerning the price is greatly exaggerated.
This gun is produced in Czechoslovakia, Denmark or Switzerland are countries with high labor costs.
Czechoslovakia doesn't have high labor costs at all, also the fact that the gun are factored mostly by CNC machines.
The price are for me ridiculous and not acceptable.
John Browning already perfected the wheel and for a lot less, 6000 for a pistol made for aliens...
It's a pro race gun for IPSC production. People are going to buy this. A lot of people? No. But that's why it's so expensive. It's basically a boutique shop match gun.
I'm gona get hammered and take a cruise. See ya in the next episode, "guns of the afterlife".
I got #124. The best I got is 10 rounds before jam. Shot over 500 rounds . Waste of money. Lancer will not reply to me.
I think they are over weld with complaints.
Sorry you had those problems Rick, but fellow owners stepped in and helped out. Glad so far it is working for you now!
Looks similar to the archon type b
It would have nice if you talked about shooting and how it performed! It’s a firearm hardly anyone in the US, UK etc has any access to let alone know anything about. C’mon man!
😬
What is the MSRP on those guns?
Insanely high i think its over 4 grand
$5500usd
Nice looking gun. But at $5k+ good luck selling it.
Looks like they didn't have that problem
Is there gonna be Alien Rifles? Come on make it.
The looks are just wow. Future. Wonder how it shoots
Круто！ Кто говорил, что в конструкции пистолетов ничего принципиально нового уже придумать нельзя？
Dammit I want a beer now.
Almost 5000 Euro ..Crazy
Details.
Essa é máquina!!
This gun is disgustingly sexy and brilliant.
Can you imagine a carry version of it around $1000 one day?
I wouldn't buy 1, I would buy 3!
All I have to do is sell my Corvette,and I an get one too.
