It was released about a year ago, and just recently also made available in a left-handed version &#8211; which I have been eagerly awaiting. The Remus is designed to be a more general-purpose and carry-suited pistol in contrast to the competition focus of the original Alien. It adds a manual safety, system for racking the slide with the optic while having a 0.8&#8243; shorter barrel and weighing 25% less. The optics mounting options now include the Aimpoint COA, which I am also a big fan of.<\/p>\n<p>Disclosure: Laugo gave me this pistol, so you will have to judge for yourself if I am being bought or if I genuinely believe this pistol is as good as I say.<\/p>\n<p>Some additional related videos:<br \/>Aimpoint COA: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/EkFQNELaQp0\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/EkFQNELaQp0<\/a><br \/>Original Alien: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/rbGCL3iRm2Y\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/rbGCL3iRm2Y<\/a><br \/>Alien mud test: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/D_o47KAlgp4\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/D_o47KAlgp4<\/a><br \/>Alien dust test: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/wKk0tluqio4\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/wKk0tluqio4<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The best firearms reference books: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.headstamppublishing.com\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.headstamppublishing.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ForgottenWeapons\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ForgottenWeapons<\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.floatplane.com\/channel\/ForgottenWeapons\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.floatplane.com\/channel\/ForgottenWeapons<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! <a href=\"http:\/\/shop.forgottenweapons.com\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/shop.forgottenweapons.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Remus is the new version of the Laugo Alien pistol.
