Laugo Alien 1000 Rounds In: Maybe An Issue?

Put about 1000 rounds through this one in the week that I've had it. Never jammed or had failures to feed/extract, but there's some gripes I have with it. Still my favorite handgun that I've ever shot though and will keep running it in matches. Just have to clean it more often than the others, and a bit more hassle to do so because of the piston.

I have about 1000 rounds through mine. Has occasional failures with fmj. Failure to feed specifically.

[@petrilaakso7927]

I’ve got about 450 and only (single) failure was failure to feed.

[@checkmate058]

The neatest gun IMO

[@erlinglorentsen4262]

About the binding trigger when the weapon is dirty: There is a linkage through the slide. Perhaps the slide rides on a carbon build-up. Kinda aaallmost in battery. So the trigger can push the slide. Dunno - Just a thought.

[@DrakeDragonheart]

It looks like there might be a bit of a burr on the top of the “safety” portion of the trigger that binds when pushed at a certain angle

[@johnknezevic6810]

great gun , just by watching video ill say clean the gun.myself i clean and lube after every use. my guns are carry/defence and range.20 minutes of care could save your life. a $5000 gun should be pampered

[@Acesup1911]

I have the same issue with my trigger. Any chance you took a picture of the problem. And how did you fix it. Thanks for any info. Appreciate it

[@alfredocuomo1546]

You're taking that well, especially for a $5,000 gun. Well the gun is made with exacting tolerances so much so they say you can replace any part of the gun with any other gun's parts & it will work without adjustments. Looking at how dirty the gun was it makes you wonder if it's the blow back design that's causing it like what happens to an AR-15 when the Bolt nose has to much clearance with the Bolt Carrier Group, Mega Carbon.

I just picked up one of these used ,still waiting for magazines .Nice to know tings to look out for

[@DrakeDragonheart]

How much did you end up paying for it?

[@Baldcurious]

@@DrakeDragonheart actually less then they go for. Go it used with bunch of extras for.$5500

[@BaddFrogg777]

@@Baldcurious Any idea when the new high capacity magazines will be available? Congratulations and enjoy your machine.

@@BaddFrogg777 no clue . I've been harassing laugoarms all over social media about it . they said mag extensions are coming "soon"

How do you change the battery in the red dot. I can't figure it out.@@DrakeDragonheart

[@mikee1207]

I have to same issue with bloody knuckle due to the beaver tail

[@petrilaakso7927]

me too 😂

[@BaddFrogg777]

Excellent and detailed review on real world experience. I purchased a used in excellent condition ALIEN PERF EDITION. Looking at the CREATOR EDITION. Either in BLK or BLK and Gold? Thank you for an honest review. Stay safe, Cheers

Clean burn ammo a must it looks

[@charitybull]

Been asking this but what division do we need to run it in? With optic I am assuming open but with irons can it run limited?

[@DrakeDragonheart]

for the most part yes, unless maybe you run the retro slide. Still waiting for them to hopefully list it in production

[@user-hc6pw7zu2n]

how do you change the battery on your alien? maybe make a video of it it you want. I can't find anything on this. Help Please.

[@AboHashem515]

Can you put another red dot on ?

[@MaxMACHIVE]

What type of ammunition did you use?

[@madlad8514]

My dot has also died in the middle of a stage. It was hot that day and this gun does get hot. My theory is that the battery got cooked.

[@DrakeDragonheart]

According to Lancer they shipped with battteries that weren’t to spec, so wasn’t making full contact. Switched to brand name batteries and haven’t had a problem with that since, though Lancer was willing to send me a new optic

[@kbrown4804]

@@DrakeDragonheart how do you change the battery and what battery does it take?

[@DrakeDragonheart]

@@kbrown4804 theres a tray on the side to access it. Takes a 2032 or 1632 battery

[@n.b.p.davenport7066]

Put it in an ultrasound bath it'll get it out

[@Alex-yg5uh]

That gun needs to be taken apart and cleaned PROPERLY there is no "issue" you just can't clean for shit, and seem to be scared to take it down...probably the wrong purchase.

[@DrakeDragonheart]

Sure, go ahead and make a video doing a full disassembly on yours. And then maybe you’ll realize there’s not really any way for carbon to get in the trigger components. The issue turned out to be a burr on the trigger “safety”.
