Now, the Alien Performance Pistol—maybe the most game-changing semi-automatic firearm—is coming to America. Partnering Lancer Systems with Laugo Arms Czechoslovakia, this new breed of weapon is ready to reshape the face of competitive shooting.
In the Alien Performance package, it will include the Alien pistol itself with two 17-round magazines, a standard top rail with adjustable fiber optic sights, a custom hard case, and a tool kit. Part of the hard case design includes optional accessories use, such as a red dot sight top rail and an accessory magwell, that allow the pistol to be configured for the needs of its owner.
The Alien from Laugo Arms is definitely billed to be “the first of its kind,” being one step that moved the pistol design centuries into the future. It maintained the world’s lowest bore axis; this, along with the locked-in-place barrel that isn’t moving during the firing cycle, contributed to an incredibly flat recoil impulse, which dramatically lessens muzzle flip and enables very impressive accuracy. An enhanced performance is delivered with an innovative gas delayed blowback system that brings the pistol back on target faster.
Modularity is another key attribute of the Alien Performance. Interchangeable slide rails and magazine wells do make it adaptable for mission-specific requirements—a versatile choice in many different shooting scenarios. The non-reciprocating top rail provides an obstruction-free sight picture and focus on the targets uninterruptedly; this has been very helpful in competitive shooting.
The Alien Performance was manufactured and hand-fitted in Czechoslovakia by Laugo Arms, with importation and distribution by Lancer Systems. Quality in the Alien is exacting, due to leading industry manufacturing processes and equipment ensuring each unit to exceed performance and reliability standards.
Not entirely glitch-free, the Alien Performance also presents some challenges to the users. Some users have reported on the slide lock, which needs repairs from either the factory or the U.S. distributor. Though these issues will be a concern, the performance and handling of the pistol have come up trumps, as most shooters are willing to overlook frequent cleaning and the heat generated in its use.
In other words, the Laugo Arms Alien Performance pistol is one of those weapons that fuses speed, accuracy, control, and modularity into a single, complete package. Here it comes to introduce a new competitive shooting era in the U.S.—that kind which brings along with itself an innovative and versatile weapon.
