Yeah, that's my take on the .45 as well. Grab one if you ever get the chance and have a desire for a .45. I really nevr wanted a .45 after shooting the guns a couple of friends have but this one is

I got the Stoeger for $400. Still an unbeatable deal for what it is. I just wish it had the assesory rail like the .45. I get people to shoot a few rounds on the range for opinion and everyone so far loves it. Fits like a glove and hardly any recoil.

Did you get the Stoeger or the Beretta? I was looking at a used Beretta compact 8000 9mm recently for $400. I love the 8045 I have as does everyone that shoots it.

My dad has had the Cougar 8000 for about 6 months now and after I shot 10 rounds from it I went and picked me one up. I have had it for a week now and have put 150 downrange and no problems at all. I

Hey Hammer, I bought mine direct from Beretta when they became available so I really can't help you on after market stuff for the Cougar. I have used off brand on other Berettas I own as well as a

All of the guns you list are good. I might just get the S&W because I could use +P for better power in a defensive situation. 380 is second choice in any gun.

What about extra 9mm 15 rnd magazines?- should I stick to Beretta/Stoeger factory made or does anyone have good/bad experience with the after market ones?

While I have the Beretta and not the Stoeger, I can't find anything negative to say about the gun other than the price of .45 ammo. It eats EVERYTHING I've forced down it's throat and breakdown

I've owned the Beretta 8045 Cougar for 6 or 7 months now and have probably put about 600-700 rounds of assorted ammo through it. I can't find anything I don't LOVE about this gun. Well except

I bought my Stoeger cougar 8000 9mm new in June 2007, I've put 2k rounds through it without a single issue. It shoots better than I do, making a ragged hole out of the 10 ring at 10 yds. At 15-25

What is the basic difference between the BERETTA 8000 Couger and the STOEGER model... I know BERETTA owns Stoeger and the Stoegers are made in Turkey, but is there any real difference in the QUALTY of the guns... cause my STOEGER is really turning-out to be a GREAT shoot for $325!

I hear you. Unfortunately local gun shows are not like the Shot Show in Las Vegas. I have seen a few in the larger cities that were well attended by manufactures reps but not many.

Have you seen their newest ads. They finally decided to crow about their military hardware experience. They do make a good gun for the money.
