Beretta Cougar "F" M8045

Yeah, WAs are just that nice...but as many have pointed out, it's probably not a metal slide! But wow, 200 for that package for a not metal WA gun is one hell of a deal!

Mantelope · April 1st, 2006, 16:27

Yeah, the mags alone are worth that price.

Drache · April 1st, 2006, 20:03

Well if you want something that will really blow your mind... technically I only paid $100 for the gun. My grandma had given me $100 to do with as a please for airsoft... so in reality only $100 came out of my own pocket for it.

And yeah, the mags are with about $100 a piece.

Hell I bet my grandmother could outshoot 1/4 of the players I've seen. She grew up on a ranch learning how to shoot with the rest of the cowboys. My grandfather who's only been passed away for less than a year taught me how to shoot.

He used to shoot wooden match sticks standing upright at a distance on 40 feet using the open sights on his .22 rifle. At one shooting match he won the chocolate cake one doing this, then donated the cake back, only to win it a second time.

When my grandfather passed away I got his .308 Norma Magnum rifle from him. My dad was there one time to witness my grandfather shoot a bull moose at 790 yards away.

Honest Truth.

those numbers are impressive , I must say.

Yay for family members that really can shoot ! 8)

Well, it is why you buy Western Arms, they're very adept at making bloody heavy, shiny plastic. I wouldn't think less of it just because it's not metal. WA plastic often looks and feels better than alot of metal kits out there.

I checked it over once again and I must stand corrected. It looks and feels like metal but it is plastic.

I stand corrected.

i have the WA 92fs perfect. it's super heavy, almost like the real weight i've been told but it's still plastic.

"While the M92FS perfect version is adopted with the slide and frame in heavy weight material, this model is done with those in ABS material, which can realize nimble and speedy blow-back.."

Man, I've always considered the Cougar series to be my favorite sidearm. It's on my 'to buy' list, right after a G3 and a crate of STAR mags.

A compact .45 Beretta just seems so badass.

Mantelope · April 2nd, 2006, 15:22

The fact that the slide is plastic isn't why the gun has quick blowback. In the case of their 1911s and 2011s, aftermarket metal slides are almost always lighter than the plastic ones, and will thus produce quicker blowback.

Drache · April 3rd, 2006, 18:16

I've been thinking of selling it but I haven't been age verified. Is it allowed for someone else on these boards who is verified to sell it for me?

Bob the Angry Potato · May 28th, 2006, 13:26

Hate to necropost, but...
Is it sold yet? I've checked every local and even foreign dealers, and they don't have the chrome one. I'm willing to compromise for that, just got a propane adaptor and I don't really like the conventional Beretta look (I love my M9, but it's a bit big... and I like .45s, even though it doesn't apply here).
Any dents on it, or the like? PM'ed.

Yes it sold, I am its happy new owner, and it is sweet.

Aaaaand,
Gun resold, courtesy of Amgoosen (who's been very tolerant so far, and hasn't minded the PM flood. I guess I'm just too anxious). It'll take a while, but yay! I'll pimp out this thread with more pictures on arrival.
