I normally use CCI small pistol primers for 9mm loads but lately I've had problems locating CCI primers. I use Federal small pistol primers for .38sp cowboy loads that I shoot in competition and keep a pretty good supply of them on hand.
Federal are a little softer than CCI but I have never used them for 9mm. Have others here used Federal primers in 9mm? I just don't know if the softer primers make any difference in the safety or performance in 9mm loads.
