Hello people of /k/. I recently got an AMT Javelina (trade) which I would like to keep as a home defense gun. The one thing buggering me is the capacity (an 8-rounder). Could any other magazine fit in (like a GL20?)? Do extended mags exist?
First pistol, not that versed in mechanic. Thank you. (pictured is a javelina, not mine specifically)
it's amazing how fast it dived to second page
You bought a 10mm 1911.
It will do things 10mm 1911s should, like shoot 8 rounds. If you plan to miss more than that, get more magazines.
If you are firing more than 8 rounds of 10mm indoors without changing the course of a home invasion, reexamine your life choices.

You're right. If 8 rounds doesn't stop it, more wouldn't BUT it's not like I sleep in a LBV. Hence, bigger mags.

Also enjoy your eeeeeeeeeeee for life.
Honest, I give NATO-certified cookies to whoever shall give assistance in this quest.
If you wanted pic related you should have bought one.
Full disclosure, I want a pic related.

What? Who are you talking to? If it's me I don't understand what you ask

Why would you buy a snowflake 10mm longslide for your first pistol?

Traded it with a friend for an old carbine which I didn't shoot anymore. I just fell in love with the gun, it design, and the vast power of it all. +also a great range gun

The AMT Javelina is kind of junky, as are all their autos, more often than not you'd have to put some work into them to make them run. There's a reason they stopped being a company.
Which isn't to say they can't be worthwhile and that you shouldn't have one, but it wouldn't be my goto home-defense gun.
For one it just has issues, for another, it's a rare gun and if you use it to blow away a home-invader, depending on where you live, it could end up in an evidence locker for years, maybe even get forgotten about, not something I'd want with a gun I'd cherish, especially given that guns that go through this process often come back in atrocious condition.

It's cool as shit, but it's a gall-happy relic, if you want 10mm for home defense, I'd get something that's currently made and actually reliable, Dan Wesson makes nice 1911s in 10mm, even a long-slide one.
Hold on to this thing for it's historical value and coolness. Also make sure to keep it well lubed.

>Can I use a Glock 20 magazine in a 10mm 1911
I refuse to believe people this stupid actually exist.

i'm sorry but i think i NEED more than 8 rounds to protect my 7-figure income /s
>>33620558
Eh, I wasn't serious about that one.
>>33620717
7 figures income? Seriously? Well, come and try to live at slightly over minimal income while trying to keep your hobby and your household preserved.

Just realized the jackal-yness of it-all.

Also thank you. For me, the question got its answer.
