Posted by Mikayla Blair on 29th Jan 2026
Among the multitude of new pistols announced at SHOT Show 2026 was an exciting addition to Beretta’s variety of cat-themed guns: the B22 Jaguar.
Just in time to celebrate Beretta’s 500th anniversary, the company decided to debut the B22 Jaguar in two variations, the B22 Tac Metal and the B22 Metal Competition. Both pistols are chambered in .22 Long Rifle and come standard with two 15-round magazines and three grip options to fit various hand sizes.
Beretta B22 Jaguar Tac Metal
The B22 Jaguar Tac Metal is the basic model and is designed with a smart, modular chassis system for easy disassembly and customization. It has ambidextrous controls, oversized bolt surfaces, and a semi-flat-faced trigger. It’s built with adjustable fiber-optic sights and a 1913 Picatinny rail, along with a suppressor-ready threaded barrel.

Beretta B22 Jaguar Competition
The upgraded version of this new pistol, the B22 Jaguar Metal Competition, was a collaborative effort between Beretta, the Scholastic Action Shooting Program, and TANDEMKROSS. It’s specifically crafted for steel-target competition shooting, and has an advanced design compared to the standard B22 Jaguar.
In addition to the features of the basic model, the B22 Jaguar Competition comes with both a TANDEMKROSS Steam Demon Compensator and Accelerator Thumb Ledge to reduce recoil and improve control for better accuracy during competitions. It also has an adjustable TANDEMKROSS textured semi-flat-faced trigger and multiple color options.
