no rail on the 9mm stoeger... but the stoeger cougar 45 does have the rail...

Picked up my 9mm Cougar...It's got Rails....No mention of such on Stoeger website and/or owners manual...Times are moving forward, and Stoeger is listening...Practice what you shoot, so you'll shoot what you practice. Live Well Live Free.

cool...never seen one, could you please post a pick... thanks

I got my Cougar 9mm two days ago it does have rails now. got mine at Academy sports

Hello, new to site and first post,....

I have a '96 Beretta Cougar without rails and it is the only thing I do not like about Cougar. However, I found a company in Phoenix, Az. that makes rails for such guns and they are in the process of making me a picatinny rail to attach to my gun. They use an adhesive on the back of metal strips that attach to gun, supposedly oil and cleaner resistant, then the rails are held in place with strong earth magnets. This is the first one they have made, so it's a prototype. They will total refund if it doesn't work properly. Should have it in a few days. Cost is $85...cheap by me to get to add laser or light or ??? I will have more in about a week on this. Great forum here,...learning a lot already.

My Stoeger 9mm, no rails.

I just got off the phone with one of Stoeger's U.S. sales reps, and she confirmed my suspicion that only .45ACP Cougars are currently being sold in the U.S. with rails. You better have some photos of said railed 9mm to back up your claim . . .

I picked mine up at Cabella's this afternoon. 9mm with rails. Would post a pic if I could figure out how...

Lots of claims here, but still no photographic proof . . .

Upload the photo to a photobucket or similar account, and then use the direct link in the post.

I'm beginning to think the Stoeger rep was a clueless idiot . . . I just found this pic on the Beretta forum that looks an awful lot like a railed 9mm model:

It would be cool to see the 9mm with rails. I have never seen one myself. I have never used the rails on my guns that have them either. Not a real big deal on my important to buy list. For those who want it if the Cougar has it it would be a pretty cool new choice to consider.

Oh there it is........I have worked for more then one company were the customers knew what we were doing before I did. Kind of embarrassing but didn't make me an idiot!

Yes, because the website and their sales reps have confirmed the existence of the railed 9mm Cougar. *facepalm*

I called my local Cabela's and they said they had never seen a railed 9mm model, but they also mentioned that if I figured out the Cabela's SKU for it, they could order one. Would you kindly look at the receipt for your gun and post the Cabela's SKU listed on it?

FWIW, three minutes on the phone with BenelliUSA and I found out that only the 45 is available with the rail until next spring. Then the entire line will have been switched over.

I made the same call, however, the information is obviously false considering people are already buying railed 9mm models . . .

looks like the number is 002514310. Hope that helps.

Excellent, thank you!

I had contacted a buisness in Phoenix to see if they could make me an adapter or attachment that would allow me to put a laser on my Cougar (Beretta). I received an email yesterday from them and they have made an adapter with laser for $99. Go to YouTube and search for "Beretta Cougar Ramlight Magnetic Laser Sight by Ariete Arms and see them testing the prototype. These guys even went out and bought a Cougar to help them make the adapter! THAT is customer service....great guys,...and I am in no way connected with this company other than to ask them if they could make something for me.

I bought a brand new 9mm Stoeger Cougar and the thing misfired on me a handful of times, some times the cartridge jammed, other times it just misfired completely...Should I sell it or hold onto it and hopefully it breaks in????

Can you be more specific about the malfunction? Type of ammo? Failure to eject? Failure to feed? Failure to fire?

Simply unloading your problem on someone else at a loss makes no sense when you can just utilize the warranty. I suggest calling Stoeger at (301) 283-6981 or (800) 264-4962 and describing the problem in more detail to them. If the gun is brand new, then it's still well within the one year limited warranty. Hopefully they'll straighten it out for you, because this is the first I've read of a Cougar being unreliable. Keep us posted . . .

Here is my 9mm Stoeger Cougar that I picked up yesterday from Academy, and it has the picatinny rails. I was in there over the weekend and they had one left, I almost bought it...that one didn't have the rails. I went in yesterday after calling to see if they had any, and low and behold the one they got in had the rails. You can see that they have updated the manual yet...

Glorious, thanks for the pic! Price?
