I get emails from Davidson's and other distributors. This week they are having a special on HK P30L in 40 S&W for $469. Assume + shipping + dealer markup.
Also seems like a deal? on M9A3.
Also, the Walther Creed is $249. This was actually a really nice gun when I got to play with it at Shot Show. Surely better than the lower end Smiths, etc.

After quite a while and plenty of talking about it(as some of you know, and are tired of hearing about my yearn for a VP9) i finally have an HK VP9 LE model of my own. I cant wait to put some rounds through it. Its is just a beauty. Makes me instantly want a collection of them. Long story short i am very happy!
However...I was going through the manual and running through the info in the case when I came across the typical "spent casing" pouch. Its dated for a month out! As in July 2015! I found this weird. For anyone else who has purchased a VP9 or an HK pistol, do you know when the pouch/ casing was dated? Was the date pre or post you getting it? I dont imagine its of any real significance either way, just weird.
Anyone else had any similar experiences with any firearm, HK or not?

Was chatting with a buddy of mine at the range, who owns both pistols, and prefers the Walther PPQ just slightly over H&K VP9. Never shooting the H&K VP9, I was surprised by his observation due to H&K's rep. But his view was just that: people love VP9 over PPQ due to the "hype" and "rep" of H&K. Full disclosure: he is a H&K fan and loves his VP9.
Question to those who shot both: forget brand name, which do you prefer and why?

Seems to be a Good price on P30S, all others sell it starting $800+, Buds sells it at $840 or so.
$750 + $6 shipping seems to be very tempting. If only I had permits in hand...

I'm considering picking up an HK USC 45 in the near future. In stock form, it doesn't really do a whole lot for me, but the UMP conversion is enticing. I don't think it's a very practical purchase, but I like the uniqueness and I've wanted to add a pistol caliber carbine to my collection.
Anyway, my question is if anyone here owns a UMP conversion and if so, where did you have the conversion and compliance work done? I'd rather give a local gunsmith the business if they're experienced with the conversion, rather than send it across the country. I'd need to have the USC receiver milled out a bit to accept UMP magazines, the UMP stock pinned, and magazines blocked, while maintaining 922r compliance. I'm hoping someone in NJ is familiar with and willing to handle the work.

There is no press that you can just sit on a table. They need to be bolted down securely so there is no flexing. They do make complete stands that work good too. I agree with the fact that the Lee Classic turret is a great starter press. You cant realize the full speed of a progressive when you are first starting off. You NEED to go SLOW until you learn the ropes. -
Single stage will have a tighter tolerance, and you have more control over the process. Progressives are for bulk range fodder. Every experienced reloader gave me the same advice when I was getting into the hobby, start with single stage, so you can truly understand the reloading process and what you have to do on your end to make great ammo. Once you have mastered that, then you can think about a progressive. If you want to add a bit of convenience to your single stage reloading, a turret press (rotates the dies, not the shell plate) is probably better suited. It is still effectively a single stage operation, but you don't have to keep removing and remounting dies. I'm not sure what you mean by this. Whatever press you get, it will have to be secured to a work surface in some way. I bought an inexpensive 20"x20" work surface from HF to permanently mount my shotshell press on. It is mounted very sturdy and durable with the added 1/2" hardwood plank and extra big washers. If you haven't already, you should check out some of the reloading channels on YT. Ultimate Reloader is one of my faves, but there are scores of others with great advice. See it in action. -
The 550 is not a true progressive as it does not auto index, right? I'm in the process of selling myself on a XL750. For a starter press, you can't go far wrong with a Lee Classic Turret. It is cheap, auto indexes, and swapping calibers is easy. NB. If you go for a manually indexed press and work multiple cartridges at once, be particularly careful to monitor the powder drop stage to avoid no powder or double charges. With an auto indexing press the risk is way lower. -
The Dillon 550's are amazing machines. Plenty fast, and while there are faster machines in the Dillon lineup, the trade-off is that the faster ones take longer to change between calibers, and the caliber conversion kits are more expensive. You can use the 550 as a single stage press, one cartridge in the shell plate at a time, rotating between the stations after each handle pull. It's a good way to start out and gain experience. I've got a single stage press as well, used for larger rifle cartridges and the occasional oddball handgun cartridge that I don't shoot enough to justify the cost of a caliber conversion kit for the Dillon...but it sounds like those use cases aren't in your immediate future. -

Why is the single stage an advantage exactly? Could I not build them on the progressive?
