Used, I assume. I paid that for a 2010 vintage DAO Bulldog, last year.
Bad years. Internet hearsay (YMMV) is, avoid the Charco years. See the second post here.

Very good listen. Just get "great beard man" going and let him talk, wisdom and experience.
So I'm not the only one waiting for "real people" reviews, not trusting even the usual YouTube guys to not be bought and paid for.
Saw and handled one. Very Glock-43 like. Take down procedure is...
I bought a Rock Island GI 3 years ago. The slide stop didn't always hold open after the last round. Replacing that part fixed the problem. Other than that, it's been extremely reliable. Total...
I have a stainless 605 (same thing as the 85, in .357). Mine's never given me any trouble.
Can you get a 3" Model 85 for the same price? That would be nice.

It's been about 20 years. I think it was .303 British, to feed a No 4 Mk II I picked up. I know the .303 was the first of my own handloads I (with some apprehension) fired.
Grip preference is very individual. I myself don't particularly like the factory boot grip that comes with that gun. I'd hit up ebay and look for an Uncle Mike's Boot Grip. Same thing, but (IMHO &...
I got one last year, to replace/upgrade a Kel Tec PF9. Mine is a 9mm. I have shot both the .45 and the new .40 version.
It works fine. I've had zero failures to feed, fire, eject, etc.

There's a lot of "brand prejudice" against the XD. Make that "unhinged loathing".
That is true of the original XD and the recent refresh of the design ("Mod 2!"). It is not true of the XDM...
I have a stainless 605 I picked up some years ago. (Whenever Heller was announced, that day I picked this gun up.)
It's worked very well for me, for many hundreds of rounds.

Yea.
I got one for my G19. it was truly a drop in part. Works fine, shoots well. At this point I basically just leave it in, and don't use the factory barrel.
Budget for a Lee Factory Crimp...

Yes. It works just fine.
Take once fired 9x19 brass, size it, trim to length and deburr the case mouth. You'll probably want to mark them with a Sharpie marker, to distinguish them from 9x19...

I recently picked up a C312-185-1R mold.
Lee tells me but I don't see either as a part number on any of the online vendors I've looked at.
What gas check to I need for this?

Get yourself a Kill-a-watt, plug it inline, and measure what you're using.
They're relatively inexpensive, and give you things like voltage, current draw, accumulated kilowatt hours. I've seen...

The instructions make it look kind of complicated. It's really not. It's pretty trivial. (Hint, with the shellplate off, don't turn the shellplate holder over....)

If you want to sell it cheap, let me know. :-D
I've had a little experience with one. One of the toy stores I frequent had one for cheap. "Used" -- I suspect the guy opened the box, looked...

When I started handloading 10-ish years ago I started with a Lyman ram prime die. Switching from one size primer to the other was a true PITA, so I got a second. Lately I"ve gotten RCBS' unit,...

Thanks y-all for the replies. I tend to flare the minimum necessary -- perhaps I'll try a bit more. And start accumulating cash towards a lubri-sizer.

I'm getting into bullet casting. So far I've gone the Lee route, to keep expenses down.
Got a question about lubing with Liquid Alox:

A Uniflow? Check and make sure the measuring cylinder bushing (part 7 in the instruction manual) isn't coming unscrewed. Mine used to do that if I wasn't mindful of it. I've since put a dab of...
