Cougars on Clearance at Academy Sports

[Mechster1]

While purchasing clay pigeons at Academy Sports in Greenville South Carolina I noticed they are selling the both 9mm and 40 S&W versions of the Stoeger Cougar on clearance for $348. I bought my 9mm Cougar from them for $399 two years ago and think its a steal even at that price. Great guns! Highly recommended!

OH HELL YEA!!
I tell ya what i am going to check the New Academy here and if they have them for that price I am buying one just to buy it at that price!
I also own a 9mm Cougar and am a big, big fan of the weapon!
the one I got is the most accurate 9 MM that i own, and about as smooth and flawless as anything i own.
Its a Berretta wearing a Stoeger name tag, same gun, made on the same machines, by the same people!
Bruniton finish!! very good fixed sights, great ergonomics!!!
great weapon and a steal at that price!
hers a few pics of mine for those that do not know the weapon.

I bought mine a few years ago and paid $349. The Academy price is an excellent buy!

I dislike you people with acadamy sports near you.

Guess i'm not real familiar with the Cougar but i know the Taurus 9mm i bought a year ago is higher now than when i bought it .

I understand competely, I hate when I travel to an area and there is not an Academy in the area.. Like Tampa or Charlotte.
I know this will be a dumb statement, but I really think if Academy was coast to coast they would have a big impact on gun ownership and gun laws. I travel a lot in Texas and Louisiana. Its great to see so many couples and women at the gun counter. My wife is not afraid to pick up ammo and she has even purchased a couple of guns ON HER OWN...

Sorry, please excuse my interruption on this thread......I might have to go check out the Cougar-- anyone tell me how is the slide action. Spring tension??.. smooth and easy or is it difficult..

[BigSkiff]

It's very smooth................

[olfarhors]

yep mines a real smooth weapon!
I swear if none of you have shot a pistol with the rotating barrel lockup you will be quite amazed at the oparation of the weapon.
Big Skiff has Night Sights on his as well if I remember correctly.
so i assume they are for a Beretta Cougar.
I am sure if we twist his arm he might tell us about them and the cost and where he got them!
PS: I paid 409.00 for my cougar many months ago and that was a pretty decent price for around these parts.

I am sorry I thought they were talking about something else!

Those Cougars can normally be picked up outside in the parking lot of Academy in this area!
