Hello all Im new to these boards & figured id jump right in. Im in the market for a new handgun. Im kinda leaning towards a Stoeger cougar in a .40 cal. Id really like it in a .45 but I dont think they make it in that. This gun seems to fit my budget. I just sold a Glock 26 it was nice & it was my first legal weapon but it really just felt to small in my hand even with the finger extension Plus I got 3 nosey daughters plus a wife & would like something a little safer than the glock. Anything else yall might suggest? Anybody have any personal exp with the Stoeger Cougar. A buddy of mine has the Beretta Cougar in a 45 & I really like it. Anyway thanks for any help.

What did ya mean by "first legal weapon"? BTW Welcome, I had access to a Beretta Cougar compact .40, but I don't know if it is still available.

I think he meant first gun to buy from a dealer rather than FTF perhaps? At least...thats what i hope he means. Anyways, welcome to TGO!

What I meant was it was the first weapon I actually bought at a local gun store. It was my first registered handgun purchase.

There is no gun register in TN,but we get the picture

My first gun purchase was from an indivdual and it was just as legal as the gun I purchased from the gun shop. Weapons aren't registered in TN.

EDIT: And I REALLY have to start reading ALL the posts before I respond. Sorry strickj.

Welcome to TGO.

The last time I was at Guns & Leather they had a Beretta 8045 in one the cases. You might give them a call and see if they still have it.
