It\u2019s a .22 pistol that, according to Beretta, is \u201cbuilt to train, built to last, and built like nothing else in its class.\u201d Hey, that rhymes! But is it true? Let\u2019s find out.<\/p> <h2>Beretta B22 Jaguar: A New Kind of Classic .22 Plinker<\/h2> <p>That\u2019s right, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/category\/project-rimfire\/\">Project Rimfire<\/a> is back. This is the series where I have been reviewing an unreasonable number of handguns chambered for .22 Long Rifle. So far, I have covered pocket pistols, medium frame revolvers, and training pistols. Now we\u2019re moving on to the category I\u2019m calling \u201cclassic plinkers.\u201d<\/p> <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/b22-in-hand.webp\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12804\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/b22-in-hand.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/b22-in-hand.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/b22-in-hand-600x338.webp 600w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/b22-in-hand-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/b22-in-hand-768x432.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p> <p>These are pistols like the Ruger Mark IV, Browning Buckmark, and Smith &amp; Wesson Victory. You might call them target .22s, traditional .22s, or something else. The industry hasn\u2019t settled on a term for these so I\u2019m going with \u201cclassic plinkers.\u201d<\/p> <p>Now, I have to at least give a shout-out to the original Beretta Jaguar. That was the Model 71, which was nothing like the B22. Beretta made that one from 1958 to 1985. It was a very cool compact .22 that had a lot more in common with today\u2019s training-style pistols.<\/p> <p>The new B22 Jaguar instead follows the classic plinker format: it\u2019s got a fixed barrel and a fixed sight base. The only thing that moves when you fire is the bolt back here. Unlike the trainer pistols, it\u2019s not trying to mimic the look and feel of a centerfire gun. When you look at this, you immediately know it\u2019s a .22.<\/p> <p>Pistols in this category have often been considered the do-everything .22s, but the designs often prioritize accuracy and shootability. We\u2019ll see how the B22 performs in those areas in just a minute.<\/p> <h2>Beretta B22 Jaguar Features and Design<\/h2> <p>Beretta is calling this variant the Tac Metal, I think to distinguish it from the competition version that\u2019s coming out later. But like the name implies, it\u2019s all metal construction &#8212; aluminum grip frame and upper receiver with a steel barrel and bolt. It\u2019s 32 ounces empty, 36 loaded. I was surprised how heavy it felt when I first picked it up. But it\u2019s actually pretty well balanced. It\u2019s not front-heavy like some of the bull-barrel target pistols.<\/p> <p>Threaded barrel is standard. The front sight is a red fiber optic with an adjustable rear. It\u2019s compatible with Ruger Mark IV sights, so there are plenty of aftermarket options already available if you want to swap those out. Or if you want to just throw an optic on it, the top picatinny rail is machined right into the upper receiver. We\u2019ve got M-LOK slots on either side of the barrel. I have no idea what you would put there, but you can attach stuff if you want. There\u2019s another pic rail on the bottom, but this one is removable and underneath there\u2019s another pair of M-LOK slots.<\/p> <p>The manual safety is ambidextrous. I\u2019m not the biggest 1911 fan, but I do believe Grandpa Browning nailed it in terms of finding the ideal location for a manual safety. The B22 safety is in a similar position but it\u2019s just a little higher relative to the tang. The mag release is reversible for left or right handed use. The ejection port is open on both sides and it can be set up for left-hand ejection. The only non-lefty friendly control is the bolt catch, which is only on the left side.<\/p> <p>The B22 comes with two 15-round mags. Or 10 rounders if you\u2019re in a ban state. That\u2019s a big selling point for this gun. All the other classic plinker style pistols are limited to single stack 10 round mags. Extra mags are a bit steep at 69 bucks a piece.<\/p> <h2>Trigger, Reliability, and Break-In<\/h2> <p>Like most 22 autos, the Beretta is single action with an internal hammer. The trigger is not quite a flat-faced design but it\u2019s close. You get a little bit of pre-travel and then it breaks right at three pounds. It felt a little heavier when I first got it, but there was noticeable improvement after firing a couple hundred rounds.<\/p> <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/chris-shooting-b22.webp\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-1\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12805\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/chris-shooting-b22.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/chris-shooting-b22.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/chris-shooting-b22-600x338.webp 600w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/chris-shooting-b22-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/chris-shooting-b22-768x432.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p> <p>Reliability also improved after a short break-in period. I was getting failures to feed with CCI Mini-Mags when it was brand new. So I shot 50 rounds of CCI Standard Velocity, which it ran fine. That must have loosened things up a little because Mini-Mags worked fine after that. I\u2019ve now got about 600 rounds through it with no failures. That\u2019s a mix of suppressed and unsuppressed.<\/p> <p>I did have an issue for a while where using the bolt catch to close the bolt would not work about half the time. The bolt wouldn&#8217;t have enough energy to fully chamber the round and I would have to slingshot it. But that issue also seems to have gone away after shooting it a bit more.<\/p> <h2>Disassembly and Removable Barrel<\/h2> <p>Field stripping the B22 is pretty straightforward. It\u2019s not as simple as a Mark IV, but nothing is, really. The unique thing Beretta has done here is to make the barrel removable without any special tools. It\u2019s just a few extra steps outlined in the manual. That\u2019s really nice for deep cleaning, and it opens the door for aftermarket barrels and other modifications.<\/p><p><\/p> <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/B22-barrel.webp\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-2\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12803\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/B22-barrel.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/B22-barrel.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/B22-barrel-600x338.webp 600w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/B22-barrel-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/B22-barrel-768x432.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p> <p>With most of these plinker style guns, the barrel and upper receiver are either impossible or very difficult to separate. Now that, of course, raises the question of whether having a removable barrel is a detriment to accuracy. There\u2019s only one way to find out.<\/p> <h2>Beretta B22 Jaguar Accuracy Testing<\/h2> <p>As always, I fired two 5-round groups from a bench rest at 25 yards \u2013 this time, with four different ammo types.<\/p> <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/b22-accuracy.webp\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-3\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12807\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/b22-accuracy.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1362\" height=\"1214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/b22-accuracy.webp 1362w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/b22-accuracy-505x450.webp 505w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/b22-accuracy-1024x913.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/b22-accuracy-768x685.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1362px) 100vw, 1362px\" \/><\/a><\/p> <p>It grouped best with CCI Standard Velocity with a 1.2-inch average. The overall average was 1.6 inches.<\/p> <p>Compared to the other guns we\u2019ve tested so far in Project Rimfire, this is pretty good. However, generally speaking, the classic plinker semi-autos tend to be among the most accurate .22 handguns (outside of the purpose-built bullseye competition pistols). I would expect a gun like the B22 to shoot circles around these revolvers and trainer-style pistols.<\/p> <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/accuracy-vs-project-rimfire-1.webp\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-4\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12809\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/accuracy-vs-project-rimfire-1.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/accuracy-vs-project-rimfire-1.webp 1600w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/accuracy-vs-project-rimfire-1-600x338.webp 600w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/accuracy-vs-project-rimfire-1-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/accuracy-vs-project-rimfire-1-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/accuracy-vs-project-rimfire-1-1536x864.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/a><\/p> <p>If the B22\u2019s accuracy is less than amazing, it\u2019s probably because that was never Beretta\u2019s goal for this pistol. Like I mentioned, Beretta is coming out with a competition variant of the B22 soon. But it\u2019s basically the Tac Metal with a few TandemKross parts bolted on. It has the same barrel and same internals. And it\u2019s explicitly designed for steel challenge \u2013 a shooting sport that\u2019s a lot more about speed than shooting tiny groups.<\/p> <h2>Built for Speed: Is the B22 Jaguar Worth It?<\/h2> <p>And the B22 really does seem ideal for that kind of shooting. I can\u2019t point to any one reason why. The trigger is good but not amazing. There\u2019s not a lot of muzzle rise. The grip is\u2026 well, grippy, with texture on every surface. It all comes together to form a package that\u2019s just begging you to shoot fast because the gun\u2019s not going to move.<\/p> <p>MSRP for the Tac Metal version is $749. Now, I know you have questions: Is this a good value compared to other classic plinkers? How would it perform in a head to head test of speed or accuracy? Should you get a perm? Well, my friends, answering these questions is exactly what Project Rimfire is for. But you\u2019ll have to wait until next time to find out. Our classic plinker comparison video is coming soon. Make sure you are subscribed so you don\u2019t miss it. I\u2019ll see you then.<\/p> <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new Beretta B22 Jaguar Tac Metal brings a fresh approach to the classic .22 plinker, with 15-round magazines, a &#8230; <a class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/beretta-b22-jaguar-review\/\">Continued<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":12797,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[509,15],"tags":[64,120,21,67],"class_list":["post-12796","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-project-rimfire","category-review","tag-22-lr","tag-beretta","tag-handguns","tag-review-2"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Beretta B22 Jaguar Tac Metal Review<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"We test the new Beretta B22 Jaguar Tac Metal for accuracy, reliability, and shootability.
