Our Assessment: The Beretta 8040 Cougar series is a thoughtful and well-engineered design which features some innovative design elements and was introduced in 1994. This pistol uses a rotating barrel locking system, which gives a tight lock up and which may help reduce recoil. The controls duplicate the popular and ubiquitous Beretta 92 F, yet carry 10 +1 rounds of .40 S&W punch and conceals slightly easier with a barrel 1.3″ shorter than the Beretta 92. If one is looking for an off-duty or backup weapon, or for home protection, this compact pistol will fit the bill! We believe that this pistol has not been shot outside of the factory….The original tags on the trigger guard are still present. Pick up this Excellent rated pistol today!
