It's a 9MM DA/SA model. I just got it a couple of hours ago. I will go to the range this afternoon and see how she performs and give an update.

I'm looking forward to your report and opinion. I've never handled one but aesthetically I think they are nice looking guns. A .45 would be nice though. The price is certainly right . . .

Boy, it was almost deja vu all over again. Almost like looking at my 92f.

PonchoMike · 09-09-2007, 10:31 AM

Sorry it took so long, been busy. The pistol handles very well, the grip is just enough not too big or too little. I have average sized hands so it fits fine for me. The recoil w/FMJ is very mild, and w/+P Golden Sabers is very manageable, actually quite pleasant little kick. The accuracy is not bad for a sub-4 inch barrel, I can put 5 in about 2 inches at about 15 yards. Only gripes are the sights, simple 3 white dot configuration, gonna look for some nice night sights. But fit and finish are excellent, not a rough edge on anything, no machine marks, the finish on the frame and slide are very nice w/very even finish. I can see this as my new CCW piece.

I've been looking for one of those online,anybody know where I can order one? I just bought an XD45C and hope to pick it up tomorrow.

I also need some mags for this pistol, I have looked on the net but could only find .40 and .45 mags. I saw somewhere that Beretta 92 mags might work, w/ a little modification? Also need a nice leather open top or Kydex holster. By the way the mags say " Made in Italy" on them, they could be left over Beretta mags, you think?

Reeek · 09-09-2007, 12:15 PM

Are these pistols rated for +P and +P+? Does it state that in the documentation anywhere?

PonchoMike · 09-09-2007, 04:49 PM

I have read the book, and it states not to use it as primary ammo. Only to use sparingly as plinking, and defensive ammo. Any other ?'s give me a shout.

Thanks

You've been a big help so far.

I have a Stoeger Cougar in .40. I love it, very accurate for me. I found mags at Numrichs, but once again never found any in 9mm. and yes mine are Beretta mags. I would be interested in a 9mm cougar if I was not looking for a CZ next in 9mm.
