The ProMag BER-A16 is a 15-round aftermarket magazine built for the Beretta Model 81, also known as the Cheetah 81, chambered in .32 ACP. It gives Model 81 owners three extra rounds over the factory 12-round capacity, which matters for a pistol that has stayed in service for decades as a compact carry and backup gun. Shooters who run an 81 for range time, training, or defensive practice generally want spare magazines on hand, and original Beretta magazines for this platform are not always easy to source. This ProMag option fills that gap with a steel-bodied magazine made in the USA.
Construction starts with a high-carbon heat-treated steel body finished in corrosion-resistant blued steel, TIG-welded for strength at the seams. Inside, a heat-treated chrome silicon spring drives an injection-molded polymer anti-tilt follower, which keeps cartridges aligned for consistent feeding as the magazine empties. The polymer floor plate is removable, so the spring and follower can be pulled for cleaning or to clear debris after extended range sessions. ProMag lists overall dimensions of roughly 4.5 by 1 by 8 inches and a weight near 0.38 pounds. The 15-round capacity comes from precision-engineered internal tolerances rather than an extended baseplate, so the magazine stays close to the original profile in the grip. It carries a lifetime warranty against manufacturer defects.
If you carry or compete with a Beretta Model 81, keeping several of these magazines in rotation lets you load up before a session and spend more time shooting and less time topping off. They work for nightstand backup duty, training drills, and general range use with .32 ACP ball or defensive loads. Rotate your springs across the set so no single magazine sits compressed for months at a time.

It is designed for the Beretta Model 81, also sold as the Cheetah 81, in .32 ACP. Confirm your pistol is the .32 ACP Model 81 variant before ordering, since other Beretta Cheetah-series guns are chambered in different calibers and use different magazines.
Fifteen rounds of .32 ACP. That is three more than the standard 12-round factory magazine for the Model 81, achieved through ProMag's internal tolerances rather than an extended floor plate, so it stays close to the original grip profile.
The body is high-carbon heat-treated steel with a corrosion-resistant blued finish and TIG-welded seams. The spring is heat-treated chrome silicon wire, and the follower is an injection-molded polymer anti-tilt design that keeps cartridges aligned for consistent feeding.
Yes. The polymer floor plate is removable, which lets you pull the spring and follower for cleaning or to clear debris after extended range use. Reassembly is straightforward, and the magazine carries a lifetime warranty against manufacturer defects.
