Stoeger-Cougar 9mm

Hello,
Has someone in this forum tried a Stoeger-Cougar 9mm, 3,6"Barrel?
Is the recoil minimal? My wife wants a SIG-Sauer 250 Compact, but a Salesperson in a Gunshop advised me to check a Stoeger-Cougar 9mm.
Any comments and advise? Thanks.
Walt

    I've had one of these and I loved it. It's the cheaper made version of its predecessor, the Beretta Cougar. It's a great bang for your buck and is a good shooter. I bought mine without looking back. The P250 is a decent pistol too, but I'd probably take the stoeger myself. If you can pick one up for around $350 you should be in great shape. My two cents...

    Stoeger is an original Beretta design built on original Beretta machinery by a Beretta subsidiary in Turkey, to save on labor costs.

    Its the same gun as the Beretta Cougar, only with a slightly lower quality finish, and a dramatically lower price tag.

    I wouldn't hesitate to buy one, if the gun fit my hand.

    It's being willing. I found out early that most men, regardless of cause or need, aren't willing. They blink an eye or draw a breath before they pull the trigger. I won't. ~ J.B. Books

    They weren't very popular under the Beretta name plate. Can't imagine that has changed much.

    I think I handled one when they 1st came out as Beretta and found the slide hard to grasp.

    I have never had a problem with Beretta's qulaity - just their price.
    The 9mm Stoeger that I purchased is very comfortable to carry, easy to oppperate and accurate.

    There are two Beretta Cougars
    One a 9mm Luger and the other a 380, similar to the Beretta 1934
