STOEGER COUGER

[diver dan]

Hey guys, I just bought a STOEGER COUGER, seller told me it was made with machines that berretta sold them , and actually this pistol is a berretta , made on berretta machines and stoeger put their name on gun.I was wondering if I could buy berretta brand parts and put them in my stoeger gun ? I was also wondering on grips ? Can anybody give me some feedback on this.I was also wondering about barrels and slides ?

As far as I know that is true. Beretta moved their tooling to Turkey, set up the factory and is having the Cougar built there by their subsidiary Stoeger (sorry if that is not the official legal name of a company wholly owned by a parent company). Cut the price virtually in half, and Beretta made sure that the quality remained true to their reputation.

Also as far as I know the parts are interchangeable with the Italian made Beretta with just the roll stampings and I believe a minor change in the slide profile being the differences.

Stoeger is almost always good to go.

They're well respected and long term "clone" manufacturers - notably, as said, of Beretta firearms. Yes, they're made on older Beretta tooling (Much the same way the Argentine FM HiPowers were made on FN tooling sold to them = true clone).

I like to think I want a Beretta/Stoeger 9mm pistol one of these days - if ever I'm in a position to start having "stuff" just to have stuff.

Stoeger pistols are definitely good to go.

I know nothing about how their shotguns stack up, however.

Any Turkish firearm I have come across is top notch as far as quality goes.

The Beretta copies are not really even copies, they are made on Beretta machines. Same as the "Hk" turkish copies, they are made on Hk tooling as well.

Yep. Thats the difference between a copy and a clone.

Should be real happy with it. You have to let us know.

I bought a Stoeger M2000 shotgun a few years ago and it has been great. "Clone" of a Beretta...
