It incorporates a safety\/decocker lever similar to the ones found on the popular 92 series. The mainstay of the Cougar was the unique rotating barrel design, which locks and unlocks via a cam system.<\/p>\n<p>The Cougar does not tilt like a standard Browning design. This keeps the barrel in line with the sights the entire firing sequence and was intended to provide improved accuracy.
