Bought a Stoeger Cougar 9mm at Academy on 09/02/11. Felt and shot better than my Glock G19 GEN4. Somehow, after 60 rounds of trouble free shots. I screwed up by putting the recoil incorrectly after cleaning, and it stuck.

Had to sent it back, did it on 09/14/11, got it back on 09/26/11. Put 150 rounds through without any problems yesterday. I am really impressed with the service that Stoeger (Benelli USA) provided.

After carefully reading the manual again. It's embarrassed but I have to admit that this malfunction was strictly human error on my part. I am glad that it's over. And very nice knowing that the costumer services is top notch. Now I can highly recommend this brand to anyone. Thanks.

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.
