I've got the 8045F, nice gun. Great grip, nice trigger, accurate, feeds everything, and the rotating barrel does seem to reduce elt recoil a bit. My only [minor]complaints are that it seems a bit on the heavy side and I don't care for the slide mounted safety/decocker (I prefer it frame mounted a la SIG) and it's got sharp edges. Definitely worth a look if you're looking for a compact .45. M2
jnsn,
I'm a big fan of the Cougar series. I have both the 8040 and the 8045. I carry and shoot the 8040 and really like it. The 8045 is not much differnt a little wider in the grip.The 8045 I have not fired since I bought the Cat Pak as a collector. The next in the line I want to get is the 8000 9mm.
I'm really pleased with them and feel you can't go wrong if you buy one. Both of mine are both SA and DA, I like the trigger pull in both modes. I think they are pretty good value for the money. Good luck with your decision.
Happy Shooting

I have an 8045F and have been really pleased with it. It has excellent ergonomics and I find it very comfortable to shoot. It has been very accurate and consistent, and is very easy to clean and maintain. I've put about 500+ rounds of all types through it since I got it and it has eaten it all with out a single problem. I like the safety, but that is mostly becuase I learned how to shoot with a 92F and am comfortable with it.
The only potential issue is that it has a fairly large grip - I'm a big guy and I really like it, but if you have smaller hands you might not find it as comfortable. Try one out and if it fits, get it - I am sure you will not be disapointed.
