Beretta 9mm Model 8000D Cougar Good 2 Magazines ca 1995 92F Variant

The Beretta Cougar enjoyed only a decade long stint in production in the United States. The frame, as the photos show, is almost identical to the 92 Vertec, and Vertec Grips, which we have several of, will fit correctly. Magazines on this 9mm are the same as the 92FS, and both magazines with this 8000 Cougar are Law Enforcement marked, early ban period. The distinctive thing about the Cougar, of course, is its barrel system: 3.5 inch steel barrel with two locking lugs and a rotating bolt system. Performance was flawless on these, and from this one’s 006000MC range serial number, we believe it is a first year production specimen from 1995, and it has served and protected our fellow citizens in the vicinity of our Nation’s Capital for the past fifteen years. The D variant was in production only from 1995 until 2000, a relatively scarce pistol. D, of course, means DAO, Double Action Only, where every shot fires with a consistent smooth full double action trigger pull motion, just like firing a Smith & Wesson Revolver on double action every shot. The hammer does not stand. There is no slide mounted manual safety because the officer did not need one, since there is no need to decock the weapon. It has a firing pin safety or firing pin block to guard against accidental discharge if the weapon is dropped. Weight empty is 32.6 ounces, similar to the 92FS but more compact. Surface detractions are extensive with extensive whitening on the grip frame and left side of the frame and slide. We rate this 8000 Cougar as Good to Very Good, since about 35 percent of its surfaces are affected by holster and carry wear by our estimate. Photos, at any rate, should suffice for prospective owners to judge finish grade for themselves. It is Excellent mechanically; bore, chamber, and mechanism are all bright, clean, and excellent. For $200 or so, it can be restored to as-new condition. Either way, it is eminently serviceable and even collectable. We’re offering it for only $ 349.00.
