Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the LAGO Arms Alien pistol shoot so flat?

The Alien pistol features a gas-delayed blowback system with the gas system positioned above the barrel. This, combined with an exceptionally low bore axis and all-metal construction, significantly reduces recoil and muzzle rise, allowing for very flat shooting.

Can you easily switch between iron sights and red dot sights on the Alien pistol?

Yes, the Alien pistol has a modular design where the top section of the frame is stationary. This allows for quick swapping of iron sights for red dot sights by removing a single pin, and the red dot's zero is maintained because it doesn't move with the slide.

Why is now a good time to buy a LAGO Arms Alien pistol?

Lancer Systems is no longer distributing the Alien pistol, with LAGO Arms USA taking over. It's advised to purchase now using the 'MAC20' discount code, as prices are expected to increase under the new importer.

What are the key advantages of the Alien pistol's design for shooting?

Its gas-delayed blowback system, low bore axis, and low reciprocating mass contribute to minimal recoil and muzzle flip. The trigger is also noted for its crisp break and positive reset, enabling fast and accurate shooting.
