Accokeek, MD â€“ Beretta USA is heading to Hurricane, Utah, for the 2026 USPSA Factory Nationals as a stage sponsor, bringing an exclusive opportunity for competitors and spectators to experience what’s next from the legendary Italian firearms manufacturer celebrating 500 years this year, before it officially arrives in the U.S. market.

As a stage sponsor of the event, Beretta will be giving attendees an opportunity to get an early look at a new pistol that has not yet been released in the United States. Beretta representatives will be onsite throughout the event, with the new pistol available for competitors and spectators to experience firsthand. Designed with performance in mind, the new pistol offers a first glimpse at the next evolution of Beretta’s competition-focused lineup.

“USPSA Factory Nationals is an incredible opportunity to connect directly with competitors and the broader shooting community, and we’re excited to give attendees a chance to experience something they haven’t seen from Beretta before,” said Ricardo Olivieri, Beretta USA’s Head of Luxury and Competition. “I’m looking forward to putting it in the hands of competitors at the event and hearing their feedback.”

Adding to Beretta’s competition presence, Team Beretta athletes JJ Racaza, Sal Luna, Cameron Templin and Ben Hardt will compete throughout the event. Their participation underscores Beretta’s commitment to the competitive shooting community and to supporting athletes who put speed, precision and performance to the test on the range.
