glad you got your gun back and that it was a positive experience for you.

now sit down and use the manual to field srtip, clean and reassemble the pistol a few times..... i guarantee you have had your WTF? moment, you will never let that happen again.

Yes, I will not let this happen again on my Cougar. Thanks for your support.

Yes, should have done that per your recommendation. Where were you when I needed you?

The reason I purchased this one was the field strip. Like the push out and flip kind of setups. Not like the G19, was easy sometimes, but when you have a greasy hands, sweaty hands, or when you are tire, not enough strength, the small latch just would not listen to you. Once I had to spend about 15 minutes humiliating myself trying to field strip the G19. Not a good feeling.

i have always been there for you, in the manuals, in the forums, at the gun clubs..... i am as old as time itself and i am called knowledge and those who seek me shall find life and gun reassembly easier.

I have always wanted to get myself one of those pistols, but only would trust "word of mouth" results instead of half the crap you see in the advertisements or from a gun store. Now, that gun just went up a few notches on my to get list.

Congratulations on your new gun.

Cougar has a fine reputation.

welcome from southern oregon

Purchased a Stoeger Cougar at a gun show a week ago. Have not got to the range yet. Looking forward to it.

love my cougar.... very accurate too... when i heard it was basically a beretta... i jumped on it... with no regrets...

its based on the beretta 8000 (cougar)..... stoeger is owned by benelli and they are owned by beretta. much the same as when smith & wesson and taurus were both owned by bangor punta and shared designs.

I like the Cougar.....just havent bought one yet.

Thay seem to be the kind of gun I like.

I never knew the Cougar left. I own a 9mm Cougar compact, only difference is the grip is shorter so it uses 13 round mags. Terrific gun everyone should own one. Nice trigger, shoots well, low recoil. It is a winner!
