Alien Among Us: Czech Laugo Arms Competition Pistol Enters U.S. Market

By Chris Eger

A distinctive and interesting new European pistol design has landed a U.S. distributor and will soon be headed to shelves.
Pennsylvania-based Lancer Systems, probably best known in the gun community for their various magazine offerings, announced at SHOT Show 2020 they have teamed up with Czech gunmaker Laugo Arms to market the latter’s Alien pistol in the states.
Designed by Jan Lucansky, who previously gave the world the CZ Skorpion EVO3 series, the hand-fitted Alien first debuted last year at the IWA Outdoor Classics trade show in Nuremberg, Germany and was accepted into the IPSC’s list of Production Divison approved pistols.

With an overall length of 8.2-inches, the Alien yields a 7.3-inch sight radius and 4.8-inch barrel length. The top plates can be easily swapped out due to the slide’s design.
With a standard 17+1 round capacity, the gun weighs in at 39.6-ounces with an empty magazine.
To help get that low bore axis, the Alien has very different internals, or at least they are arranged differently with the recoil spring
