Beretta 8000 Mini Cougar FThe Beretta 8000 Mini Cougar F and Beretta 8000 Mini Cougar F Inox are semi-automatic pistols designed and manufactured by Beretta. History First appearing in 1995, the Beretta 8000 Mini Cougar F is a hybrid between the first and second generation Cougars. It is based on the Beretta 8000 Cougar F. It is fitted with the later magazine release button, but uses the original slide. It was designed to serve as a backup, concealed carry pistol. Specifications The sized down frame is made out of aluminium alloy. The barrel bore is hard chromed for reduced wear and ease of maintenance. The slide is either made out of carbon or stainless steel. Intended market The Beretta 8000 Mini Cougar F is a ultra compact pistol designed for law enforcement and the US concealed carry market. Design advantages The combination of front barrel bushing plus straight recoiling barrel enables the Cougar to achieve good accuracy out of a compact package. Like the Beretta 92FS, Cougar Fs are fitted with a decoking safety, that disables the trigger and makes the pistol safe to handle, clean and carry. The Cougar series closed slide provides better protection from dust and dirt compared to a Beretta 92 series. The rotating barrel lockup reduces the recoil to a surprisingly low level and is very strong. Overall the Cougars are very reliable pistols, that meet the recent NATO pistol standards. Limitations The Cougar series is not as capable at feeding different types of ammunition then the Beretta 92 series. The Cougar disassembly is somewhat more complex than the disassembly of a Beretta 92 series. The Cougars do not use Beretta 92 series magazines, which makes them less attractive to those that already own Beretta 92s. The closed slide does not enable the barrel to cool down as quickly as on a Beretta 92. The Cougars are heavy for their size. On the standard models, the Bruniton inside the slide wears away quickly and increases slide to frame play, a problem the Inox version does not have.
