ITALIAN FIREARMS GROUP INTRODUCES TANFOGLIO’S NEW FORCE 22 TB TO THE U.S. MARKET – FULL SIZE FUNCTION, DEPENDABILITY AND ACCURACY IN A 22LR PISTOL
8th May 2023
AMARILLO, TX – Only available from the Italian Firearms Group family of dealers and distributors, Tanfoglio’s new Force 22 TB is a full-sized 22LR pistol comparable in size to Tanfoglio’s extensive line up of superior competition pistols. As such, the Force 22 TB offers pistol competitors the ultimate option for low-cost practice in an extremely accurate and ergonomic semi-automatic rimfire.
The Force 22 TB is also perfect for a fun day at the range, working on drills or general marksmanship practice. With its threaded barrel (the “TB” in its name), the Force 22 TB can do all these jobs suppressed.
The Force 22 TB features a polymer frame and durable aluminum slide. Operating with a blowback system, the pistol’s barrel is fixed in place. That barrel is CNC machined from the highest quality chrome molybdenum steel for years and years of use. The smooth double/single action trigger system mirrors that of the competition models, the magazine catch is reversible for left hand shooters, includes full size ambidextrous safety, and the rear sight is fully adjustable.
The Force 22 TB slide is available in a Blue Cerakote, set off attractively by the pistol’s black poly frame.
Centerfire handgun ammunition keeps rising in prices, making practice an ever more expensive undertaking. But 22LR is very affordable, abundant, and available in a great variety of range, target and varmint loads, plus an increasing number of self defense options.
Tanfoglio and IFG: setting the bar high for serious hand gunners.

About Tanfoglio
In 1948, Giuseppe Tanfoglio and Antonio Sabatti founded the “SATA” company for the production of shotguns and components. In 1953, the company began making small pistols in 25 ACP, .22 Short, and 22 LR. Then, in 1960, Giuseppe formed a new operation that produced semi-automatic pistols, derringers, single and double action revolvers, and shotguns mainly for the USA until 1992. Founded in 1969, the Fratelli Tanfoglio company was created specializing its production and manufacturing on semi-automatic pistols in various calibers for self-defense. Focus again narrowed in 1986 when the company began production of models for sport shooting - specifically for I.P.S.C. and I.D.P.A. competitions. Tanfoglio products are a benchmark of excellence for fans and shooters all over the world and continue to be a global leader in law enforcement and duty style firearms. In 2021, IFG became the sole importer of Tanfoglio products into the USA market allowing Tanfoglio to take advantage of the industry leading customer support provided by the Amarillo, Texas operation.
