Aliens in Oregon

[45 for me]

It's been a long wait, but I just got the Alien I ordered in February of last year:


I'll give a range report once I shoot it.

Wasn't there a movie called "Aliens in the Outhouse" or something like that?


Kidding, sweet looking combo there!

Shot this one today, nice rig by the way.

Purdy!

I had no clue what that is/was, so I looked it up.

Shouldn't that have been called the Alien $5000?

Whatever, that ought to be a sweetheart!

What kind of dot is on it? I'm not familiar with that logo. Is that a Benchmade? Why no Combat Troodon?

The dot is branded Laugo, but I believe it is a C-more. The knife is a G&G Hawk Deadlock. The knife is as unique as the pistol, check them out

You can't say, "Aliens" anymore. It will be law soon. It's "Non-Citizen". Oooops, dang it. Wrong forum. Awesome handgun. If I had cash, id get one

The "non-citizen" handgun, kinda fitting given it's price!

Yes, I'm a bit jealous

Waiting for the range report!

Need to go shoot that thing, mate... inquiring minds want to know!

Going shooting tomorrow. I have another Czech oddity to try out as well

Dream gun material right there!

Got to shoot the Alien on Saturday.

I posted Larry's video below because he does a good job of reviewing in this case.

I am a Mechanical engineer, and I do Design and R&D and I suspect that a lot of very expensive milling machines ran slowly on the highests tolerance setting. Slide fit doesn't matter because it is a fixed barrel and sight, but it was good. The sight rail clamps down ultra tight with some interference tolerances to the barrel, and the barrel is screwed in making the frame barrel and sights work as a 1 piece system. I suspect incredible mechanical accuracy.

It's an interesting change from the skilled smith fitting by hand, they spent the money on machine time to make it perfect. Checkering is laser sharp but small enough not to rip up your hand. What ever grip you get on it will hold and feel good.

Trigger: It is very good, but even though it is hammer fired is has pre-travel like a striker fire (but way better than a striker fire). I like 1911 style better, but still very usable single stage.

Recoil: It's not in a different world, it is still a 9mm. Fired along side a Hudson H9 very similar recoil. I think if you had very little experience with guns, you wouldn't notice much of a difference. However if you want to carve fractions of a second off split times, the low recoil and fixed top rail means you never loose the dot from the window when firing, so you can go fast. I still lost the irons though, maybe if you were better at recoil managment, you might be able to.

To sum it up it is different, and it will take some time to become really fast on it, but it has the potential to be the fastest non compensated 9mm you own.

Well, someone has more than "working man" money, don't they. I'd forgotten about both those pistols until this post

 

[Lesliet]

That's a rather interesting design, from a competition standpoint. Sounds like a well made machine!
