One thing I might add.

Through internet forums and some sales that I have been a part of, I only know 8 people who own Aliens counting myself.

Of those 8 shooters, 6 of them own more than one Alien and two of those own more than two. As for the other two owners, by now they might also have more than one as I have no contact with them anymore.

That should say something about the Laugo Alien's quality and workmanship.

The finances say yes, the brain flatly said no...

Very few gun owners can outshoot their firearms, particularly under the stress of a timer...or someone shooting back.

A Ferrari and a Hyundai, leaving at the same time and both moving at 55mph, get the exact same objective results re: reaching a shared destination. This does not make them equal in every respect.
Sure that’s certainly fair

The Alien is designed to be a top notch competition pistol and in that realm it’s price is comparable to its competitors.

Workmanship among current production guns is the top of the heap with very few equals, in my opinion. Possibly the only guns I’d put above the Alien in that regard are the steel Phoenix pistols from Switzerland, just as the Redback and Drake.
