\"A
The new Retro meets regulations for IPSC guns with electronic sights.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Not long ago, the Alien 9mm by Laugo Arms shocked the shooting world with a significantly different design. GunsAmerica ran a good introduction piece in 2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This gun has been very successful, selling out completely each shipment received from the Czech Republic. It ran into some roadblocks, however, in relation to its basic design and regulations for firearms used in International Practical Shooting Confederation (IPSC) competitions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Low Bore, Divided Slide<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Alien is remarkable for at least three reasons. First, it has a very low bore axis, which significantly impacts its recoil impulse for the better. The barrel is set very low in the frame, almost in line with your thumbs in a thumbs-forward grip. This reduces the amount of movement when the gun fires as it moves more backward and less upward compared to traditional pistols. This generally makes it easier to keep on target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A
The barrel is situated very low in the frame.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Second, its action utilizes a delayed-gas piston to drive the slide back, so the bullet is out of the barrel before the gun really moves at all. And the barrel is pinned into the frame, so it never moves during a firing sequence. These features also make it easier to keep on target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A
The slide is very low profile, and very lightweight.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Third, the slide itself is fundamentally different from almost all the other semi-auto handguns you’ve seen. The slide is separated from the central rail which houses the barrel. The sides of the top move, but the center stays in position on the frame. That means the slide is very lightweight compared to most other guns, and less weight moving back also makes it easier to keep the gun on target. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A
Takedown is simple, by removing this single pin.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Slide design also means that the iron sights and red dot sights don’t reciprocate backward with each shot, either. Shooters report that it is simple to watch your shots through the optic, which is not normal with most guns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a cool design, and you should check out the whole story in our other article<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IPSC Rule<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Competitive shooters have loved this gun — and at about $5K, it’s usually not bought by weekend plinkers. However, it soon became ineligible for use with electro-optics in IPSC competitions. It has something to do with a rule that optics must be mounted to the “slide.” This makes sense when you consider that almost every other gun in production has a slide that covers the entire top of the gun and reciprocates with each shot. The only way to describe where an optic is mounted is to say on top of the slide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe someone once had a cantilevered mount, like folks use for AKs, to get an optic mounted to the frame but positioned over the slide. Whatever the history, the wording of the rules eliminated the Alien from use in competition. It’s currently under review for USPCA competitions, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A
The Retro beats the regs by adding a bridge over the top rail.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Retro<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is where the new Retro version of the Alien comes in. Laugo made space and tapped the top edges of the slide and added a plate to hold optics. It’s like an arch that passes over the rest of the top rail. The optics are now mounted to the slide and it meets the regulation for IPSC shoots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Initially, the Retro will only be available as a complete gun, but kits that include the updated slide alone will soon be available. The firearm will be available in February 2022, and it sells for $4,200. The reduced price is because the original Alien comes with two top rails, one with iron sights and one with an optics plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll find the Laugo Arms Retro Alien at its U.S. distributor, Lancer Systems<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
