Cougar 8000 series pistols are recoil operated, locked breech semiautomatic pistols.
The basic version of the Cougar pistol is the F model, with double action trigger with exposed hammer, and ambidextrous safety/decocker levers, located on the slide.
Cougar pistols use double-stack magazines in 9 mm,.357 and.40 caliber models, and single stack magazines in.45 caliber models.

Cougar pistols incorporate an idiosyncratic rotating barrel locking system, in which the barrel rotates on recoil to unlock itself from the slide.
To decrease peak recoil and stress to the frame, the insert is mounted on the recoil spring and is buffered.
The cougar is a good gun, but I would have to shoot it a heck of a lot to master that heavy, stacking trigger.
