i bought a stoeger cougar .40 a few days ago, put 200 rounds through it, and about 10 or so times i had a problem.   i would shoot, the action would cycle fully, but when the trigger was pulled, the hammer would not fall.  after about 4 or 5 pulls, it would drop the hammer and it would fire.  i am unhappy with this handgun because of this.  other wise it was fairly accurate.  i did not re-lube the gun after i unboxed it, but i did wipe it down.  this seems very unsafe, even if cleaning/lubing was a fix, the problem would come back if it was dirty.

note--- same day at the range my slide stop on my berreta 96 inox broke

If the hammer didn't fall when you pulled the trigger, how did you get it to drop eventually?

Also, what kind of ammo are you shooting?

They are neat guns but I don't know alot ofpeople that have them.  But nevertheless, I'd be interested to hear what the answers are to the above questions.

the hammer fell after pulling on the trigger 3 or 4 times, but it felt like the hammer fell on its own,     ( the trigger felt like it wasnt connected to anything).   ammo type wont matter, but fyi i used remington umc, WWB, and remington hollow points, all went threw it.  either way i cleaned and oiled the gun, tried it again yesterday, and had the same problems.  i will be returing the gun to cabelas today.
