Making an appearance at the SHOT Show Range Day 2023, Laugo Arms brought out a prototype of their 9mm, limited edition Alien Creator pistol.
Including all of the revolutionary perks of the Alien lineup which debuted in 2020, the Creator steps it up by featuring larger front slide serrations, a larger flared magwell, a 1911 grip angle, and a different beavertail cut.

The Alien in and of itself is a work of art that seems hard to improve upon. Maintaining a bore axis that is 1.7mm under the shooter’s grip, the pistol has hardly any muzzle rise.
The trigger is fantastic, and the delayed blowback system increases controllability. To help with accuracy, the barrel is permanently fixed to the frame to provide a sort of free-floated system. This also decreases moving parts and mass to keep the pistol flat when firing.
Another huge advantage is that the optic doesn’t move when firing. The only part of the slide that moves are its sides, keeping the top stationary and the optic still.
Unique to the Alien Creator is the frame. While the 1911 grip angle is a preference, many shooters seem to prefer it.
Another unique feature is the way Laugo Arms found a way to attach all the grip panels and magwell with a single screw. This keeps things simple, and the grip looking clean. The Creator edition also features a larger flared magwell which feeds great.

Laugo Arms anticipates only making around 500 of the Alien Creator variants. They will be available for sale sometime in the middle of 2023. They also didn’t have an MSRP nailed down but said it would run just a little over what the traditional Aliens are selling for which is around $6,000 here at GunsAmerica.
It will feature an American flag as a tribute to the U.S. market. That also helps to set it apart as one of the few sold in this limited edition release.
