I own a lee turret press and a lee single stage. I use the turret press for pistol due to the fact that is much faster than the single stage press, also if you want to load, say 20 rounds quickly you can do it without swapping dies out, and with the powder through die it throws powder as the case is flared. Being that you have stated that you are into pistol reloading I suggest the turret. The only reason I have a single stage is that I bought it off of a friend for ultra cheap and it has a longer ram making it easier to place my 270 win cartridges into it, otherwise I would use the turret for all loads. The Lee turret will not dissapoint
