I'm looking for a new 40 handgun. Berreta sent all their tooling for the Cougar to Stoeger which is owned by Berreta. They are being made in Turkey.

Has anyone bought or shot one yet? I looked at them a Gander MT and the look like they are made very well.

Here are some links.

The Cougar has a rotating barrel. Nice smooth backwards recoil, but also a tendency to lock up if the barrel lugs get more than a little sooty. Keep it very clean and it's a nice shooter for most people.

I can't tell you anything about the new ones made in Turkey. They probably come from the same military plant that is producing the new Armalite AR-24 pistols ( Sarsilmaz ).

The PX4 also has the rotating barrel. Bill's stocks that one but not the "new" Cougar.

A new word we are all going to need to add to our vocabulary if we start buying Turkish made firearms.

Turkmalik = poorly manufactured or doesn't work
