[QUOTE="Glock 40, post: 3471136, member: 32"] If you want to do pistol rounds a progressive is the way to pump out rounds. The issue is you really need to start with a single stage till you have an idea what you are doing. Any brand is fine as long as press isn't rusted or worn out. Don't go crazy buying a full kit or a bunch of stuff till you are sure you want to do this. If you do you will probably end up with stuff you don't use as you will see something someone else uses and want that also. Prices on stuff now is high everywhere. I would try and find a used press and some dies to get your feet wet. If you really get bit then you can get a progressive and spend all the money you thought you would ever save reloading. Get the Lee manual and read it.
