The Lee product is not as bad as they say and many who own them love them. I have two Lee Pro 1000s. One was my first progressive. I have to say that they are a good value for the money. You have to adjust the indexing properly, and blow out the mechanism once is a while if drift from inside your brass gets in it, but they work. The Pro 1000 is clearly for pistol, though they say you can reload .223. Consider this: you get a Lee Pro 1000 with all the dies and a case feeder for about $170 on Midway. That same setup puts you around $700 with other presses. The other presses are nice - don't get me wrong. The Lee is a great value for most pistol shooters given the volume that they reload.

Thanks, everyone. Those links were helpful. I think I'm going to give Clays a try. I like the idea of a clean burning powder.

I generally reload my .45 ACP as follows: 230 Grain Hornady cast RN Lead, 5.6 Grains Bullseye. I see that others use different powders. What are folks loading for their USPSA single stack shooting? Thanks.

Yes, that's the one. Nice Dan Wesson! I'm on a budget and the Smith seems like decent bang for the buck (no pun intended)!

Hi. I have a Taurus 1911 that I use up north. It is a nice gun and a nice value. I did have some work done to it. What I'm going for here is to get a gun that I do not have to mess with. I'm concerned that the flared mag port will run afoul of the rules. I agree on the Wilson Combat mags - simply the best.

Hello, I am thinking of buying a S&W Doug Koenig. I read the rules and it seems that this model will qualify for single stack, but I'd like to make sure. Would the DK qualify for single stack? Thanks.
