Talk:Beretta Cougar

Does anyone here have any more photos of the Cougar variants? As unless I am mistaken (which is a very real possibility I will admit) this article is a bit misleading as is. Firstly it refers to "type F" which doesn't exist. There is a F/D/G configuration (F=double action with safety/decocker, D=double action only, G=SA/DA with decocker only. The standard version of the 9mm is called the 8000, which looks like the Inox one on the main page. There is a 8000L which has a lightened slide (the same as the slide on the gun labelled as "type f") and a shorter frame that accommodates a 13 round magazine. There is also a gun known as 8000L Type P (which I'd assume is where the type thing came from) which uses the lightened slide, but keeps the full size frame of the 8000.

Therefore, I believe that means the first gun pictured on this page has the rather mouth filling full title of "Beretta Cougar 8000L Type P, F Configuration". From looking around at things that feature the Cougar, I haven't found a single one that actually uses the lightened slide that the Type P uses, and yet that is basically the only photo available to put up. I have added one photo of what I believe is a standard 8000 F configuration, but does anyone have any others, or can confirm that I have got these version right?

Also, I know that the 8000 is 9mm, 8040 is .40, 8045 is .45 and 8357 is .357 SIG, but does anyone know if these calibers are available with the lightened slide option aswell? --Commando552 23:08, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

I love it when people complain that we don't have enough photos of guns. Where do you think they come from? Are you volunteering? :) Also we don't LIST EVERY variant that exists, only the ones that appear in stuff (for the most part). The only exception is for guns that are photographed from existing movie armories (so the chances that they will or have appeared is much greater than of a model that no movie armory has).
