Description
This is a 13-round magazine built to original Browning BDA specifications. MEC-GAR engineered it with heat-treated carbon steel for serious durability, a high-tensile music wire spring that keeps feeding consistent, and a polymer follower that won't gum up or wear prematurely. The flush-fit polymer base plate sits right with your pistol's grip, no printing, no snag.
MEC-GAR has been making OEM magazines for major manufacturers since 1965, which tells you something about their reputation in the industry. You'll find their mags in guns bearing the Browning, Remington, Sig Sauer, and Walther names. The nickel finish on this model resists corrosion without sacrificing aesthetics, and the magazine feeds rounds flawlessly whether you're at the range or counting on it for carry.
Comparable to the factory magazines your BDA came with, these are designed to meet or exceed original specifications. The 13-round capacity puts you right where the gun was intended to operate, giving you a solid amount of rounds between reloads while keeping the gun balanced and manageable. Multiple witness holes on the side let you check your round count at a glance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this magazine fit my Browning BDA pistol?
Yes, this MEC-GAR magazine is engineered to Browning BDA specifications for the .380 ACP. It provides a factory fit and operation. The 13-round capacity is the standard factory configuration for this pistol.
Is this magazine quality comparable to the original factory magazine?
MEC-GAR builds OEM magazines for Browning and other major manufacturers, so their aftermarket versions meet the same standards as factory-issued magazines. The nickel finish, heat-treated steel body, and high-tensile spring are designed to perform identically to what came with your pistol.
Can this magazine be used in other pistols?
The Browning BDA .380 magazine is specifically engineered for that pistol. Some sources indicate compatibility with the Beretta Model 84 Cheetah since the designs share similar origins, but always verify fit before relying on a magazine in a different firearm.
How do I check how many rounds are loaded in this magazine?
This magazine features numbered witness holes on the side that let you see your approximate round count without removing the magazine. Simply look at the witness holes to estimate how many rounds are loaded.
