Finding a used Glock in my area for less than $450 for a Gen 4 is a challenge but Gen3 will run $400 or less. Some exceptions include police trades showing some good honest wear.

I ordered one this afternoon and can't wait to try it out.

My last purchase was from this seller on gunbroker: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=508849524 The Widners price is pretty tough to beat though.

Lee products: Breech Lock Challenger, 9mm dies, Universal Decapping die, Lock Ring Eliminators, Perfect Powder Measure and powder funnel. Hornady: 45ACP and .223 dies, GS-1500 scale, shell holder. Frankford Arsenal: Digital caliper. The Hornady dies are better quality than Lee and I prefer...

When I started reloading the spent primers were removed during the resizing process. A shot time later I switch to a Lee Universal Decapping die due to speed and ability to perform this operation without cleaning the cases first. The only times I had to reset the pin was when I failed to notice...

Autocomp has performed well throughout the load range. My favorite 9mm load drops the ejected casings less than a foot from the shooter but is accurate and reliable.

I have used Autocomp for 9mm and 45 acp loads. The only compensated gun I own is a G19C. The 19C is a real joy to shoot with Autocomp but I haven't noticed anything negative in my other 19, 17s, 34 etc.

Here is my RIA Tactical. The gun is very accurate and reliable with the right ammo. For some reason it likes Winchester White Box but doesn't care for Armscor 230 FMJ.

My "money saving" efforts begin and end with good prices on supplies. I have no desire to cast my own bullets and buying them is barely cheaper than plated or jacketed. Avoid Hazmat fees by picking up powder and primers in person when the opportunity arises.

My Hornady seating die was doing something similar. Too much belling would cause the case to get stuck on the Alignment Sleeve. The problem could be avoided by turning the case a bit when abnormal resistance was felt. A drastic reduction in belling eliminated the problem completely.

Mine works well with Autocomp and Titegroup. Autocomp was more prone to leaking until I tightened the screw on the side. I set it up to throw a certain charge and then weigh the first several to confirm consistency. The lightest loads I have used has been 3.6 grains.

I have fired a few hundred of their remanufactured and a few thousand new. The ammo is accurate, reliable and cleaner burning than many others I have tried. As mentioned above their cases have a step on the inside to prevent bullet set back.

I'm using a Lyman Turbo Sonic 2500. My cases come out pretty clean if the machine isn't loaded close to max capacity. Most of the primer pockets come out clean but not all. I have also used it to clean barrels and recoil spring assemblies. A patch still needs to be run through the barrel to...

Nice setup and welcome to reloading. I considered getting the same bench but decided to use an old desk already in the house.

Check the larger stores in your area or try an online source like Powder Valley or Recobs. A large enough order can help offset the Hazmat fee.
