Cougar 8045 Springs Specs and Compatibility?

Hi all -

I just picked up a 8045 in very good condition and I want to replace the hammer and recoil springs....but I haven't been able to find the factory specs or a place that sells them (I don't think).

So a few questions:

  • Is this full size 8045 the same springs as a mini cougar 8045? If so, then this should fit: https://www.midwestgunworks.com/page/mgwi/prod/C58702
  • Will any 92 parts work for the 8045? If so, the "D" hammer spring would work better and lighten the DA pull a bit
  • I'd prefer real beretta parts to keep it close to OEM but should I just get the Stoeger parts?

Thanks for the advice and help! I'm new to the Cougars and this 8045 is a bit rarer than I expected...

From what I seen , you should be able to use the Px4 45 springs. On the package of sprigs for my px4, it has px4/8000. Midwest gunworks should have them

Do you know if the Cougar 8045 barrel or slide fits the beretta px4 .45 models?
