I have a smith first gen model 59 in pristine condition that i bought new in 1975 or 1976. Its too nice to carry and only gets to the range every few months or so.
I bought the same gun for my wife to shoot because 9mm hurts her hand. It shoots very well and has a good trigger. I shoot it as much as she does i think.
same here tx22 compact i bought for the wife to shoot since larger guns hurt her hand. Thousands of rounds through it very reliable as long as you dont limp wrist it. Shoots great very good trigger.
I own both Dillon and Lee. Both have been responsive in dealing with warranty.
Where Dillion gets the edge is Dillon will warranty a 50 year old machine no questions asked.
i have a dillion square deal from 1985 that has loaded over 70,000 rounds. I have had a few minor issues with it over the years mostly wear items. A quick phone call to dillion and replacement parts are here in a few days no questions asked.
Best customer service in the industry. Imagine...
I got a Taurus TX22 for my wife with a red dot. Its light shoot everything you feed it and has a better than my XDM elite.
I can shoot 1" groups all day long at 10 yards with it.
