Hogue Style Rubber Grips for Stoeger Cougar?

[Scratchshooter40]

Has anyone found Houge panel style rubber grips for a Stoeger Cougar 8000 in .40 S&W. I just picked one up and enjoy shooting it. I compete IDPA with Beretta 96's and use same for CCW. I have the grips on each of my 96's, Bruniton and Inox (came with rubber panel grips). I ordered a pair from Hogue and they accepted the order from their website, then called and said that they were not available. Did Beretta make an optional rubber grip when they made the Cougar? I still have some research to do it seems. Shot possible today with the Cougar, though it doesn't shoot as tight as my 96's. Grip angle is just a tad different as well. Any help appreciated.

Not sure about Hogues, but there were some Farrar panel grips available for the Cougars. You don't see them to much anymore, but a set will occasionally show up on ebay or the Beretta forum.
