Engineer, smart as a whip type guy too. I tried to either one convince him to not dive down the rabbit hole or go all in. He was hell bent on doing to and doing it the right way, so I spent alot of time helping source and save for him. If you ask him now, he would tell you like Mad Professor had, to wait this craziness out or go all in. I'm not sure the reason for wanting a hand press for handguns, but I can tell you, it's going to be a bit of a treat sizing brass with one. 9mm not as bad as say 38 or 45. A single stage would be easier on your hands. That's all I load off of now. I sold my 550's when I stopped shooting competition. If you only plan to load 9mm, I guess a hand press would work. Also think about the future. I've never handloaded to save money. I hand load to make better more consistent accurate ammo. I actually spend more, but I make better ammo. Once you pump out quality ammo, any other calibers you own, you will want to do the same. Especially with bolt action stuff. You can make a 200 dollar bolt gun shoot really really well.</blockquote>
