There are NO Inox 8045 45ACP Cougars.The Cougar was available in Inox only in 9mm and 40S&W.

ops.....my apologies,
did not see the 45 acp part.

Not an Inox, but this was a special edition called the CatPak. I think only about 2,000 were made. It was to celebrate Beretta's entry into the .45 acp market. It came with its own aluminum case,special grips and the frame has a blue tone to it. I unfortunately don't own this gun I borrowed the picture from someone else.

I have and carry a 8045 for off duty. Why did Beretta stop production of the cougar models?

Also, do you guys know if Beretta still makes factory 8045 magazines for the gun?

[theberettaman]

Cougar mags are still available from BUSA.
The Cougar was "removed" from the Beretta Line in 2005.It was dropped for the introduction of 'updated product lines'(px4)and probably lack of sales.Another stumble for the "marketing" department.
From information gleened from the recent BUSA tour,the Cougar machines have been packed and are awaiting shipping to Turkey.The Cougar should return under the Stoger arm of the Beretta family of companies.
