Beretta USA has announced the B22 Jaguar Tac Metal and B22 Jaguar Metal Competition, two innovative .22 LR pistols designed to make firearms training more approachable, enjoyable and rewarding for enthusiasts of every experience level. From recreational plinking and target shooting to competitive rimfire events, the B22 Jaguar delivers the reliability, accuracy and modularity needed while helping develop the next generation of shooting sports enthusiasts.

 

B22 Jaguar Tac Metal

B22 Jaguar Metal Competition

The B22 Jaguar Tac Metal is a versatile rimfire pistol built for recreational shooting, skill development and training. Featuring a modular aluminum chassis, fixed barrel, optics-ready Picatinny rail, ambidextrous controls and threaded-barrel models for suppressor compatibility, the Tac Metal delivers premium performance in a highly adaptable package. Easy, tool-free disassembly makes cleaning and maintenance simple, allowing more time spent on the range and less time at the workbench.

For enthusiasts looking to take the next step into competition, the B22 Jaguar Metal Competition was developed in collaboration with the Scholastic Action Shooting Program (SASP) and TANDEMKROSS. Designed with direct input from coaches, athletes and industry experts, the pistol is purpose-built for Steel Challenge-style competition while remaining approachable for youth shooters and those entering the competitive shooting sports. Factory-equipped with premium TANDEMKROSS upgrades, including the Steam Demon compensator, Accelerator thumb ledge, fiber optic front sight and adjustable Victory trigger, the B22 Jaguar Metal Competition provides enhanced control, faster follow-up shots and a competition-ready platform right out of the box. Interchangeable grip panels allow shooters to customize the fit for greater comfort and confidence on the range.

"At Beretta, we're committed to growing participation in the shooting sports by creating firearms that build confidence from the very first shot," said Logan Killam, Sr. Product Manager for Beretta USA. "The B22 Jaguar platform was developed to welcome new participants while providing a capable platform for those looking to advance their skills. Working alongside the Scholastic Action Shooting Program (SASP) and TANDEMKROSS, allowed us to develop the B22 Jaguar Metal Competition specifically with the next generation of competitive athletes in mind."

"Beretta has spent nearly 500 years building some of the world's finest firearms,” said Bryan Haaker, President and Co-Founder of TANDEMKROSS. “To be trusted as a partner in developing the B22 Jaguar platform is both humbling and an honor. With its accuracy, reliability, and modularity, the B22 Jaguar is poised to set a new standard for premium rimfire pistol performance."

The B22 Jaguar Tac Metal is available now through Beretta authorized dealers nationwide with an MSRP of $749. The B22 Jaguar Metal Competition with an MSRP of $969, will be coming soon. To learn more about the new B22 Jaguar lineup, visit Beretta.com or contact your local Beretta authorized dealer.
