Beretta B22 Jaguar Tac Metal Is Now Shipping — What's New

Beretta has begun shipping the B22 Jaguar Tac Metal to dealers — a new configuration that combines the Tac variant's Picatinny rail and threaded barrel with an all-metal build, giving Steel Challenge and rimfire competition shooters a third option alongside the existing Tac and Metal Competition builds.

What Is the B22 Jaguar Tac Metal?

The Tac Metal is an all-metal-construction version of the B22 Jaguar built around the Tac variant's accessory-friendly layout: a threaded, compensated barrel, a Picatinny rail for mounting lights or lasers, 15-round capacity, and a modular chassis fire control system for easy customization. Where the standard Tac uses a lighter build, the Tac Metal trades some weight savings for the density and feel of an all-metal competition pistol.

How It Differs from the Standard Tac and Metal Competition Variants

Beretta already offers the B22 Jaguar in a Metal Competition configuration (Cerakote steel slide, bronze Cerakote aluminum frame) and a Tac configuration (Picatinny rail slide and frame for accessories). The Tac Metal isn't a replacement for either — it's a combination of both, pairing the Tac's rail and threaded barrel with full metal construction rather than making shooters choose between accessory mounting and an all-metal feel.

How It Compares to the Ruger Mark IV and S&W Victory

The B22 Jaguar competes directly with the Ruger Mark IV and Smith & Wesson Victory in the rimfire competition space, but leans on its TANDEMKROSS collaboration — TANDEMKROSS has spent years building triggers and accessories specifically for the Mark IV and 10/22 platforms, and that experience shaped the B22 Jaguar's trigger and ergonomics from the factory rather than as an aftermarket afterthought. The Tac Metal specifically gives Beretta a metal-frame, rail-equipped answer to similarly-outfitted Mark IV and Victory competition builds.
