A Dillon SDB will do pistol rounds if thats all you will want, but the dies are proprietary. A 550 is probably the way to go. Go to http://www.brianenos.com/store/dillon.html His prices are the same as Dillon but he ships free if you order over $400. The 550 is a great press but if you think you need more go with the 650.

My turn? I would humbly suggest the path that I have chosen. I started on a RCBS Rock Chucker KIT.... bought it as a "return" from RCBS direct. Got a good deal. Loaded on it for a couple years. (45ACP and .38/357)
About 2 years ago, I got the itch to go progressive. But I didn't. I actually like the "batch process" that is required in Single Stage reloading, but I didn't like having to reset my dies for each process. Soooo I went with a Lee Classic Turrret 4 hole press. I have four turrets, one for each: 38, 357,45 and .40 cal. Once set and locked into position, I very seldom have to make an adjustment. To change calibers, I just replace the turret and move on. I turned off the auto advance option, so I now will deprime 100 (or 500)... the bell the same 500, then charge/seat them. For me, this set up provides the optimum combination between progressive and single stage. I can QC the rounds much better this way. I'm guessing if your shooting 1000 or more rounds per month, progressive is the way to go. But I DO shoot 150 or so rounds every week, so thats in the 600 per month range and I never seem to run out of boolits! "Just sayin" Da

I drive Fords and a Honda and use a Dillon Square Deal 'B' and a Dillon 550B.
I'm very happy with all of the above.  I think the Square Deal 'B' is what you may be looking for, or some other QUALITY progressive from one of the major manufacturers. I use the SDB to crank out my .45s. It doesn't take up very much bench space either. This may help. http://www.dillonprecision.com/#/cus...-reloader.html
