LAUGO Arms Alien Creator 500 Limited Edition

LAUGO Arms Alien Creator 500 Limited Edition. The Laugo Arms Alien Creator 500 is the limited-edition follow-up to the innovative Laugo Arms Alien. When that firearm was brought to market, some of the very best shooters happily took it for a spin. Laugo Arms designed this variant based on their feedback and they only made 500 of them. This limited edition has all the benefits of the original model, with a number of potent and well-thought-out improvements.

Before touching on those improvements, we should first talk about the innovative systems at work in the Alien, since they form the foundation for this Laugo Arms Alien Creator 500. One of the biggest innovations that make the Alien pistol stand out, is the incredibly low barrel. The pistol contains the lowest bore axis in the world and it is located just 1.7 mm under the axis of the shooter’s grip. The recoil angle is nearly completely flat, meaning you will have practically no muzzle flip with this Alien Creator 500 pistol. Because there’s next to no muzzle flip, you can easily keep your sights trained on the target, which allows you to rapidly fire repeated shots.

The sights on this Laugo Arms Alien Creator 500 pistol are located on the top plate, which is attached to the frame. Because of this, the sights will stay in place and you won’t have to refocus on them after the slide has completed its cycle. That very special slide on the Laugo Arms Alien Creator 500 functions by means of a delayed gas piston system, which ensures that the slide only starts moving as soon as the bullet has left the barrel. In more conventional designs, that slide movement would contribute to the recoil and muzzle flip. This pistol is so cleverly designed that it brings that muzzle flip down to a minimum. The slide has a large opening on top for the top plate and there are multiple diagonal grooves on the sides, meaning there’s less material that moves back and forth. Those grooves also provide more grip so you can comfortably pull the slide back.

There’s a Weaver/Picatinny accessory rail at the bottom of the fore end of the Laugo Arms Alien Creator 500 pistol for a lamp or a laser. There’s a central blade in the single-action trigger that acts as the safety and that ensures the pistol can only be discharged if that central blade is pressed. The trigger has a very short reset, allowing you to quickly fire multiple shots. When combined with the aforementioned fixed top plate and reduced muzzle flip, the short reset offers a highly competitive pistol. The fixed barrel ensures an accurate shot, even over long distances, and this as well makes the Laugo Arms Alien pistol one of the best in its field.

Now we’re going to touch on the improvements that set the Creator 500 ever so slightly apart from the original Laugo Arms Alien. Most of those improvements are located in the pistol’s grip. The grip on the Creator 500 is considerably straighter than the grip on the original model and it strongly resembles a 1911 grip. That grip puts a new spin on the pistol’s feel. It also has a modern and very clean look. It is covered in front-, rear- and side grip panels, that can all be removed by simply removing one screw. That screw is placed on the back, just above the large magwell. Those grip panels can all be replaced with grip panels of your own choosing. As a result, you can choose from slim or robust grip panels. Whichever you choose, they all feature a rough texture that provides added grip.

This Laugo Arms Alien Creator 500 pistol is a limited-edition version of the innovative and competitive Alien pistol. The improvements ensure it feels even better in your hands and they ensure the pistol can be used in a variety of competitive settings.
