Laugo Arms, known for its unique firearms designs, recently unveiled the Alien Remus, a compact 9mm Luger semi-automatic pistol designed for concealed carry and personal protection. This smaller, more practical iteration of the original Alien pistol, launched in December 2023, features a unique blend of performance, safety, and innovative features.
One of the most striking features of the Alien Remus is its revolutionary Push-to-Rack (P.T.R.) system. This innovative mechanism allows for a non-reciprocating optic rail, meaning the optic remains stationary while the slide cycles. This not only enhances usability in high-stress situations but also provides unparalleled convenience and efficiency for the shooter.
The Alien Remus incorporates multiple safety features. In addition to a manual safety, the pistol features a "Glock-style" trigger safety and a manual flapper-style safety lever, providing redundant safety mechanisms for added peace of mind. Laugo Arms also emphasizes the pistol's drop safety, ensuring safe handling and carry.
The Alien Remus comes standard with a 15-round flush-fit magazine, offering a balance of capacity and concealability. The pistol's modular grip system allows for easy customization, enabling users to tailor the grip to their hand size and shooting style by swapping panels, backstraps, and magwells.
Performance-wise, the Alien Remus utilizes a gas-delayed blowback action with a fixed 4-inch barrel and a non-locking slide. This design minimizes cycle time, facilitating rapid follow-up shots while maintaining accuracy. The pistol also boasts the lowest bore axis in the world, significantly reducing muzzle rise and enhancing shooting speed and precision.
Remus is meticulously crafted with a steel slide and a two-part frame consisting of an aluminum grip assembly and a steel chassis, ensuring durability and reliability. The fixed barrel and non-reciprocating top rails maintain a consistent sight picture, unaffected by recoil forces, regardless of the optics used.
In terms of dimensions, the Alien Remus measures 7.2 inches in length, 5.5 inches in height, and 1.3 inches in width, weighing 29 ounces. These compact dimensions make it ideal for concealed carry while maintaining a substantial feel in the hand. The pistol comes with a premium kit including two magazines, optic plates, iron sights, P.T.R. optic rails, grip panels, backstraps, magwells, a G-Code Phenom Commando holster, and cleaning tools.
The Laugo Arms Alien Remus embodies exceptional design and engineering. Its innovative features, robust safety mechanisms, and impressive performance capabilities position it as a premier choice for a compact carry.
However, the Alien Remus comes with a significant price tag, exceeding $6,000 in the United States and €5,000 in Europe, making it a luxury item beyond the reach of many.
