About the Beretta B22 Jaguar Metal Competition
The Beretta B22 Jaguar Metal Competition is a rimfire target and competition pistol introduced at SHOT Show 2026. Built on Beretta's new B22 platform, the Metal Competition features an aluminum frame, a 5.25-inch threaded barrel with a single-port compensator and M-LOK barrel shroud, a tool-less reversible ejection system, a Tandemkross fiber-optic front sight, an adjustable rear sight, and an internal hammer-fired action. It ships with an accelerator thumb ledge, three interchangeable grip panel sets, and two 15-round magazines, aimed at steel-challenge and rimfire competition shooters.
Beretta revived the Jaguar name for its modern rimfire line; the original Beretta Jaguar was a compact .22 pocket pistol sold in the mid-20th century, while the 2026 B22 Jaguar reimagines it as a race-ready steel-challenge gun.
