Stoeger Cougar

[Big Bill]

My Stoeger Couger is a dream to shoot and maintain. The rotary bolt makes this pistol one of the best and most accurate handguns that I have ever owned. Does anyone else have one? What have been your experience with it?

Since I have lots of 9mm ammo, I bought the 9mm. It is so smooth and as easy to clean as my Glock 19. It's probably the same gun as the Beretta Cougar except that they moved all manufacturing equipment to Turkey. From what I understand, Stoeger is a subsidirary of Beretta.

In the 1990s, the Stoeger company was purchased by Finnish rifle manufacturer Sako. In 2000, Sako was acquired by Beretta Holding S.p.A. At that time, Stoeger Industries was placed under the ownership of Benelli USA, where it remains today as a member of the Benelli USA family of companies.

The technology and expertise of Benelli USA are integral to Stoeger’s manufacturing processes. And all Stoeger products enjoy a solid reputation for affordable quality.
