I decided to buy one of the Beretta 8040D mini Cougars in the latest CDNN catalog for $289 (shipping was an additional $13). I figured I can't pass on that great price. This is my first Beretta Cougar. Their catalog lists them as Excellent to LNIB condition, but I would consider mine that I just got closer to Very Good to Excellent (it has some minor holster and use wear here and there, but nothing major). It came with some brand of metal night sights installed on it (they don't have any markings on them like Trijicon and Meps usually do (maybe the markings have just worn off)), which are probably around 8 years old or so (the sights still glow fairly well in the dark, just not as brightly as new night sights do). It came with one used 11rd LEO marked 8040 mag with the spacer adapter installed. I bought two NIB 8rd 8040 mini mags ($25 each) from them at the same time. The gun was kind of dirty inside and outside and had a lot of grease on the barrel lug and the removable locking block part. I gave it and the mag a good cleaning. It is looking a lot better now. The DAO trigger pull and feel is really nice on this pistol (fairly light for a DA pull and very smooth and consistent, kinda reminds me of my trigger pull on my S&W model 65 revolver). I haven't gotten a chance to take it out to the range and shoot it yet, but I'm fairly sure this baby is going to shine.
Here's a few pics I took of it after cleaning it up:
