Stoeger Cougar
« on: January 19, 2008, 02:33:36 PM »
I'm curious if there are many owners of the Stoeger Cougar pistol.  I purchased one in .40 S&W about a year ago and so far it has been a great gun.  I have fired a couple hundred rounds without any jams, misfires, etc.  Considering the price of the gun is only $350 I think it's one of the best buys on the market.  Your basically getting a Beretta for the price of a Stoeger.  I'm now considering another one in 9mm and was just curious if other owners were pleased with this model.
Thanks,
NRE

read an article about this gun, I am considering myself, and it was all good.  Accurate and well made.  It appears cheap because it is made in Turkey the article says.

I too, like the the Cougar, the size and the feel & everything about it. The Stoeger version from Turkey is the same Beretta Cougar design ,and is manufactured with Beretta Factory tooling- as Stoeger Industries are a subsidiary of Beretta.

I also like the Cougar's unique rotating barrel  locking system- and note that the polymer Beretta PX-4 which replaced the Beretta Cougar uses the same, but an even "improved" rotating barrel system.

I did own a new .357 Sig, Beretta Cougar that I bought at a great price (because of the caliber) but  I found I didn't like the price of the ammunition.  So I took a friend up on an opportunity to "trade".

If I come across a Stoeger Cougar and have the $$$ ... I'll buy one.

I know I resurrected an old topic. I too am considering purchasing a Stoeger Cougar in 9mm and would like owners input since this topic was touched last.

Good?
Bad?
Indifferent?

I would appreciate replies and thanks!!!

I picked one up in 9mm about two years ago and while I haven't put that many rounds thru it, under 500, I'm quite pleased with it.  It has fired every reload I've put thru it without a problem. 
Would I buy one again, yes.
