Beretta B22 Jaguar: A Competition Rimfire Built for Speed — SHOT Show 2026

The Beretta B22 Jaguar brings competition features to a .22‑LR pistol platform with an emphasis on adjustability, ambidexterity, and out‑of‑the‑box readiness.

Offered in Tactical and Competition configurations, the Jaguar is clearly aimed at shooters running rimfires hard, whether in steel challenge, training, or entry‑level action competition. And, it’s a true left-handed (and right-handed) pistol.

One of the Jaguar’s defining features is its tool‑less, reversible ejection system, allowing the pistol to be configured for left‑ or right‑side ejection without disassembly.

Combined with a fully ambidextrous manual safety and a reversible magazine release, the platform makes few assumptions about the shooter. My kids are both left-eyed, while I’m right-eyed, so we could potentially share this pistol.

The Jaguar ships with 15‑round magazines, with extension options available to increase capacity for competition use. A flat, textured trigger is fully adjustable, tuned for clean engagement and control rather than duty weight.

Both top and bottom Picatinny rails come standard, supporting optics, lights, or weights depending on how the pistol is configured.

Beretta includes competition‑focused components in the box, including a thumb rest, compensator, and a Tandemkross “Steam Demon” compensator, along with a matching trigger and rest system depending on the model.

Visually, the B22 Jaguar stands out with its Beretta Bronze-colored frame paired with a gray upper and slide. Polymer grip panels keep weight under control while maintaining a neutral, competition‑friendly grip angle.

The pistol uses a 4‑inch barrel made in the USA, threaded from the factory to accommodate the supplied compensator or other muzzle devices.

Beretta priced the Jaguar approachably (by competition standards), with models starting around $699, while more fully appointed versions reach $999 depending on configuration. That places the B22 Jaguar squarely between entry‑level rimfire pistols and high‑end race guns.

The Beretta B22 Jaguar is a purpose‑built rimfire pistol designed to be configured quickly and run hard without needing upgrades right out of the box. For competitors or serious rimfire shooters, it arrives unusually complete.
