Out of curiosity, why are you changing from the Sig? I am building a new setup and am looking for an optic. Sig was on top of my list.
What makes you want to change?
Anyone tried one of these yet? Says it fits the narrow polymer frames.

Have you guys tried the Wiebad Tac Pack? Out of all my bags, this one seems to get used the most as a barricade bag, rear bag, arm support bag, you name it. Probably the most versatile out of all of them.
I do like the built in swager even on pistol caliber cartridges. The quality of primer seating is worth it for pistols set up with light triggers.
You guys are making this decision even harder for me, as it seems its almost a split decision with the opinions in here!
Those of you that have the Hardy spacers, are you leaving them as is or are you polishing them? I know mine kind of have a bushed metal look and feel to them.
I was using an 8, then went to a 6 and with bright sun and semi arid terrain here in South Texas, the dot would washout even at max setting to the point you lost time trying to find it. So I went back to an 8 and never had a problem. I will say that I do like the 6 better, if I didnt have a problem with the sun.
Hmm... may just stick with the 650 and 550 that I have now. I keep looking at the 1050 due to the swaging and down stroke primer seating, but seems they do tend to be finicky.
Those of you wet tumbling, are you guys leaving the primers in or are you running them through the press to decap first? I just worry about a little moisture staying in primer/pocket even after drying and contaminating the primer/powder when going through a progressive press.
Loaded about 500 more last night using this type of technique and keeping myself more square to the handle using even pressure then pushing hard at the end. Checked all of them and had only 1 that was marginal, but probably OK. Also snugged the shell plate with an allen wrench till it wouldn't turn and then backed it of till it moved freely. All of this has helped, thanks.

And you locked it down with the set screw right?
Just got thru reloading another 500 or so for matches. All were good. Did not see a set screw on the nut that holds the shell plate down. . am I missing something?
There is a set screw on the left side of the ram that holds the large screw that holds the shell plate down.
Well, reliability of pushing cases into the shell plate is better on the dillon, keeping powder in the case is a factor of total powder charge, how smooth you operate the press and how ridged it is mounted.This is a video of one of my (bullet fed) 650's loading at a rate of 1200/hr without rush.
Hey what kind of bench is that? Sure seems pretty rigid.
What kind of oven are you guys using for the pistols/pistol parts? Can you just use one of the little table top ovens to make it a dedicated cerakote oven? I don't think the wife would be pleased to come home and see parts baking in her oven.
