"...For a home defense pistol..." There's no advantage one way or the other. Mind you, if you're getting into extended gun fights in your living room you need a rifle or shotgun, not a larger pistol mag.
Have an oh so evil 20 rounder for my BHP. No idea who made it, but I don't know it works with all 20. Sticks out about an inch.
"...NATO Subgun..." There's no such thing as SMG ammo. The same 9mm NATO spec'd ammo is used in both pistols and SMG's.
