From your post, it seems like you are very new to reloading.

And, it sounds like the "someone" who sold you the IMR-4895 was not being honest with you about its applications.

So, those are two big red flags with respect to starting to load 9mm pistol cartridges.

9mm is not the easiest cartridge to load safely. There are non-obvious issues like bullet set-back during feeding, and substantial pressure variations with just a little change in bullet seating depth.

So, I urge you to start cautiously. Please get a good manual on the PROCESS of reloading, with emphasis on pistol cartridges. For that purpose, I like the latest Speer manual, because it does a better job than most with respect to addressing some of the important issues that require caution. Others on the forum may have better suggestions for such a manual. Getting more than one is not a bad idea.
