I've got a pair of Carlos Ray and Neptune pants from Tactical Distributors. I think both are great. I need to check back in on the 2.1 version of the pants as it looks like they have more colors. They were quite limited before.
Is this the type of grip that Cha-lee has on his Atlas pistols? If so, he may be a good person to ask as he has quite a few rounds down range with his.
I got my 650 used, and between reloading and decapping cases I've probably put 50-60k through my machine. I know it's not a lot compared to some folks here, but no issues to note aside from a broken index ring and worn our primer pawl/spring.
I have 4 or 5 mags with Dawson base pads, and 1 mbx mag with their base pad (similar to the TTI). I don't think I can complain about either of them. I have lost a detent and spring from the Dawson on a mag change, but that's a cheap part to replace.
Depending how long you want to wait, you can watch for deals from DAA. They seem to have a sale around all of the holidays. I think Black Friday they typically have a deal for like 15ish% off. May be worth picking up on one of the sales as that would knock down the price.
J was a great guy. I shot with him at my very first major match. He was very generous and even went to the safety area with me to help with a gun issue. He always spoke at every match I saw him at, as well as took some amazing pictures at matches.
If you're able to get the case insert sorted out, and hook it to a dillon case feeder, I feel like this could be a nice addition to the small/medium volume shooters.
I've had a Hanks Amish belt for about 4 years. I like it. My only complaint is sometimes the rolling metal part on the buckle pinches.

My thought on the drill is that you can buy a lot of cheaper or used drills that run for the extra 600 dollars. I figured if you can make a mount for the drill and limit the speed to consistent speed. That's likely me trying to be cheap. Haha Wonder if it's possible to change over a manual unit to a DC unit if you decided to. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
