The Model 8045 F Cougar uses Beretta's recoil-operated, rotating-barrel lockup, paired with a DA/SA, hammer-fired action. Capacity is 8+1 rounds of .45 ACP, delivered from a compact 3.7 in barrel within a full-size profile.
The steel slide wears Beretta's black Bruniton finish and includes a chrome-plated bore and chamber. It is a closed-top design with rear cocking serrations, and it carries a factory "Fires without magazine" slide warning.
The black anodized aluminum-alloy frame keeps weight to about 32 oz unloaded and includes a lanyard ring. Checkered black grip panels with Beretta medallions and an exposed spurred hammer round out the handling features.
Controls include an ambidextrous, slide-mounted safety/decocker and a firing pin block. Fixed 3-dot sights (dovetailed and replaceable) provide a 5.3 in sight radius. Dimensions are 7.2 in overall length, 5.6 in height, and 1.5 in width. This example bears Italian CIP proof marks, the BU proof code (2004), and the BERETTA U.S.A. CORP., ACKK., MD import mark.
