I don't know about "cheap," as I don't know about this weapon specifically, but the reason they're foreign is those are Taurus PT111 mags. Taurus is a Brazilian gun company, so it's not odd to see the mags for their guns made in Brazil just as it isn't strange that Glock mags are made in Austria, or H&K mags in Germany.
Now, Taurus does have a reputation for making cheap guns, but I've heard also that they are actually making huge strides in quality control. Can't speak on a personal level as to their quality as I've never owned or fired one, but they aren't exactly an unpopular manufacturer sales-wise. And I have heard that their 1911s are quite nice.
Those beretta mags? .40?
NO those are cheap foreign made mags for a 9mm
