Alien 9mm

A guy at the club had one of these yesterday. He paid $6K for it. It's nice but heavy and bulky. It has a fixed barrel and a gas piston recoil system.

A fool and their money...

I like the innovation

If it turns out to be as good as advertised others will copy it and the price will come way down.

I'm not buying one. My days of searching for expensive, had to find mags are on hold.

When you make an HK P7 look cheap ..

Looks like heavy CZ-75 influence.

Went to the site and looked and read about it. Nice, but NOT $6000 nice.

It’s designed for competition. Just enough we’re imported to make the production list in uspsa. I’ve seen more than a few uspsa guys rolling around with more than 6k on their hip. Price out an infinity open gun and it’ll make you choke. Its about two of those if you do it up with all the bells and whistles

I get it, but your talking about guys spending that kind of coin on custom tuned race guns. I just don't see this as in the same league as those.

I'd pay a visit to Jason Burton for a $6000 handgun...

Carry optics and production guys are quickly closing the gap.
1400 for a shadow 2
500 for an optic
100 for the proper plate to mount
500 in tune up parts.
Magazines base pads and extensions 500

Gets you halfway there. The originally rumor when this came out was the first run guns were going to be this much and subsequent runs come in about the 2500 dollar mark.

It’s always been a gear race and guys will pay money for any perceived advantage. It’s why there are guys running around with brass flashlights on a gun that’s already hevay as hell
