Not that I'm going to sign up to go buy one right away, but I think it's interesting how they're making this.

Yea the alien is going to be a sweet as competition gun.

Downside I think it's on the level of 5g or so. But the quick change slide and low bore axis is super nice

I think we are going to see more and more designs that like this that have a non reciprocating area for optics to mount to.

POS but expensive.

That's a lot of Pilsner Urquell

It may be, but that's what it takes sometimes to start with a new design. And ultimately it could be perfected. I'm still happy with my Glocks.

And I'm going to go out and say it's not going to be a POS

I read that it got ISPC approval already. I also read that it is going to sell for around $3K. I'll stick with my CZ's, thank you.

3,000 isnt really that bad at all Look at the price of an STI or Atlas or really any worked up CZ TSO

Gotta say, this really looks interesting. This design gets the bore axis as low as possible:

too early to say gotta wait to see how it actually performs

Seems like a cool idea. My concern would be that switch that holds "sight rail". How long does that last?
