I don't know anything about other than this article, but it is interesting:

Intriguing! Looks good!

Looks real cool, though maybe a little fat. The changeable top end is a cool feature.

The only down side I see is rapid slide manipulation (view from a gaming gun perspective), but I suppose once you get used to it you'd be fine.

Hwansik Kim shoot with ALIEN prototype S&B 9mm luger, 115gr




I haven't watched this one yet but it's the longest so far

I'm watching this with interest- unfortunately I have a suspicion they are going to be priced out of this world.

Fixed barrel accuracy, non recippercating sights. There's a lot to like. But you're right, when we finally see a price it will most likely be "Oooooohh.. noon thanks!"

Or it will be like a lot of other interesting semi auto pistols that came out in recent years, they sorta came out over seas, almost none here and we never heard of them again.

I heard Hwansik Kim discuss shooting the Alien on a Ben Stoeger podcast. He commented the recoil was straight back (which is to be expected) and "different" but watching that last video I posted, I'm surprised at how much movement there is with the first shooter. That might be a grip/technique issue though.

I believe I've read the first production run will be somewhere around 500 units so they'll be scarce and 'spensive. IIRC $2K was the number I've heard thrown about. The guy behind Laugo used to work for CZ and designed what became the Scorpion Evo3 so it's possible CZ could become the main distributor assuming they don't just simply strike an agreement to either produce them for Laugo or buy the whole package outright and release them as a CZ like Springfield did with the HS2000.
