Does anyone know a good place to purchase the 10 rounds ones?
As I write this,
Numrich has them for $20.20.
Other than capacity, the only significant variation in the factory 84/BDA magazines is blued or nickel finish. The nickel ones have better corrosion protection but they're quite uncommon and arguably not worth obsessing over.
Before you ask, pistols with and without the magazine disconnect use the same magazines.

The Beretta 81 is a .32acp/7.56mm handgun and magazines are not interchangeable with the Beretta 84 which is a .380.
Correct. FWIW Beretta 81 magazines may be quickly distinguished by 2 narrow vertical ribs in each side of the magazine.
The 10-round 84/BDA mags have a single broader vertical indention in the sides to restrict the capacity.

Meant to say 80 series, not 81. My mistake.
FWIW both terms may be considered correct.
The pistols were originally referred to as the Series 81 because the 80 was a .22S target pistol of distinct and unrelated design. Older Beretta factory literature says "Series 81". However, the Beretta 80 is so uncommon and the "80 Series" or "Series 80" nomenclature has become so ubiquitous that Beretta has also started referring to the pistols as the Series 80.
