Helllo,
I picked up a rare .32 ACP Browning BDA. Noticed the magazine is marked .380. Were the magazines the same for both calibers?
Have cycle five dummy round through the magazine with no problems.
If you have any info would appreciate the input.
Thanks.

Mags are the same for both calibers.

Thanks for the info.
Also, I tested my Beretta 81 magazines in the BDA function flawlessly.

No, they are not. The .380 acp lips are much wider than the .32 acp mags, the .380 mags barely hold .32's in place.

Beretta/Browning 81 mags are very difficult to find in the USA. Recently (a few years ago) some hit the market, but for almost 4 decades they were unavailable. If you can find some, buy them.

Get the right mags if you can.
