Laugo Arms To Launch the ALIEN Pistol in 2019
Laugo Arms, the Czech company best known for developing the Scorpion Evo 3 and selling the design to CZ, have announced that they will be introducing their new ALIEN 9x19mm pistol in the Spring of 2019. Laugo Arms have been teasing the ALIEN for a while now; check out Nick’s write up about the pistol from October here.
The ALIEN has an extremely low bore axis and a fixed barrel which is reported to dramatically reduce the muzzle climb of the pistol. The pistol also boasts a quick change optic rail, ideal for competition shooters. In a post to their facebook page on the 7th December, Laugo Arms announced that the AlIEN will be introduced with a limited run of 500 pistols.
The limited introductory run will come with a holster, a red dot sight, three magazines, and several upper slides. The pistol will be unveiled at the IWA exhibition in March 2019. Here’s Laugo Arms’ full announcement:

Q: what would this gun be like chambered in 7.5FK?
A: About $10,000
My SVI would beat the but of that pistol. A tuned STI would do the same for 1/2 price.
Oh A P-38 from WW2 can be as accurate with less recoil too. However, you have to shoot in SS division.
