I have been following the Laugo Alien for a while. Maybe it will be the Real Improvement that the Strike One was not.
One thing for sure, it is VERY expensive.
They got hurt when a CZ rep got the Alien disallowed from IPSC Production Optics because the dot sight mounted on the "upper slide" (sight rail) and not on the moving slide. They have devised an awkward looking side of slide mount to meet that requirement.
ISSF requires that the bore axis be above the hand, a rule put in to eliminate a Soviet rapid fire pistol built completely upside down, the bore was about in line with your ring finger if not pinkie. So I doubt any European maker is going to design a centered barrel gun.
