There is one aspect that no one has touched on here and at the risk of raising the OP's ire, I'm going to state it because I feel it's important.
9mm are small. When I switched to a progressive press, which was a Lee, BTW, it was as much for ending having the handle or perhaps mishandle is a better term, those small cases as it was to speed up the process - and in fact the two were connected. While the numbers of a few thousand are relatively small, a turret press, while certainly faster than a single stage, is still going to be slow, and if your mitts are the same size as mine, you too will soon grow frustrated, even if only doing a few hundred at a sitting. Yes, the blue press is nice, but there are several other progressive presses available in green and red that will suffice for less money, including the Lee line of progressives. Plus you can always shop the used market and save even more.
Turret presses are great and yes, I do have one (a Lee), but for small cartridges like the 9mm and it's baby brother the .380, I would go progressive even if it was without all the bells and whistles like case collator, bullet seater, etc.
Just my $.02 on a view not mentioned.
Nope you are not raising my ire. You are absolutely right that 9mm cases are small and they are also a bit slippery when fresh out of the case tumbler. That is why I am considering a turret press as a step-up from my Rockchucker as I only have to handle the case once vs. four times with a single stage press.
Also I never said I wouldn't load 9mm on a Progressive. In fact I commented that a shell plate for my PRO 1000 only costs $20.00. A turret press lets me make easy adjustments to the powder charge and changing oal when changing bullet styles and weights when experimenting with small lots of a few hundred rounds of ammunition.
I know some reloaders do not like to experiment with changing powders, powder weights, oal and bullet weights and a few hundred or so but I do.
