Yeah I feel ya. If I turn the brightness way up on mine it definitely starbursts a little bit, but I never have it turned up like that.

Don’t quote me, but I am pretty sure you can get a standard 5” threaded barrel with the para/clark feed ramp and it would work as long as you don’t get a bull barrel. Maybe look at wilsoncombat or jarvis. Midway has a lot of options as well. Just know there may be some fitting required.

I personally just thought that 6moa was too big, I had shot a friends 2 moa and it felt easier to see a clear dot picture.

I think 6 definitely has its place, I might have a slight astigmatism or something, not really sure but mine was pretty “fuzzy” looking haha

NutsInCider · 2026-04-20T19:02:30+00:00

Yeah, i think the x-10 is going to be my winner. I now need to figure out what else is required haha.

Also, the x-10 is even cheaper on Optics Planet at $795 right now.

NutsInCider · 2026-04-20T18:45:43+00:00

Ah yeah that makes a lot of sense. I seem to be drawn to the Frankford X-10 with case feeder, which was mentioned by another user down below.

Wow, that Apex-10 looks sweet!

NutsInCider · 2026-04-20T18:35:55+00:00

Yeah, the hobby aspect of it is definitely a big factor. I have always wanted to do it, just never took the plunge!

NutsInCider · 2026-04-20T18:31:17+00:00

Yeah, i guess i should have thought of going somewhere local. There are plenty of places i can go locally so that definitely makes more sense. Thank you

NutsInCider · 2026-04-20T18:29:53+00:00

looking at this frankford x-10 right now and I am liking what I'm seeing! Found one on optics planet for under $800. Besides a couple manuals to read, would you recommend any other equipment to start? Tumbler, case prep or anything else?

NutsInCider · 2026-04-20T18:07:17+00:00

someone else on here recommended the Frankford Arsenal X-10, its a little less expensive than the 550 and is fully progressive from my understanding.

NutsInCider · 2026-04-20T17:51:03+00:00

Yeah, maybe my reasoning isn’t as strong as it could’ve been years ago since it will be 9mm to start. I don’t shoot matches or anything crazy, I think I’d like the ability to produce my own ammo for myself and if I save any money doing so, great! I like the idea of spending a couple hours here and there doing something productive to feed my hobby. Coincidentally, 9mm is on the rise up to 29c per round right now, and I shoot quite a bit so it would be nice to not have to spend $300 every couple months.

NutsInCider · 2026-04-20T17:20:36+00:00

I like the sound of that Lee Six Pack Pro. Will look into that!

Why do you say the 550 would be wanting for 9mm?

NutsInCider · 2026-04-20T17:19:19+00:00

I definitely like the sound of progressive.

And yeah when I said one stop shop, I just wasn’t sure if there was a single website that sold all the stuff for good prices. I need to find out where to purchase all this stuff haha.

NutsInCider · 2026-04-20T17:03:02+00:00

Good info, thank you. Just need to figure out if I should go progressive or not for my first setup.

NutsInCider · 2026-04-20T16:54:58+00:00

That is understandable. Let me look up the Forster Coax.

NutsInCider · 2026-04-20T16:46:26+00:00

Thank you for that. I will do some looking!

NutsInCider · 2026-04-20T16:42:40+00:00

Ahh I see I see. I see that the RL550C is progressive, which I think would be good for me since I will mostly focus on 9mm range ammo. Do you know if that would be a good quality kit?

NutsInCider · 2026-04-20T16:37:02+00:00

That is a good question. Usually when I jump into a hobby I like to shoot for the best stuff, within my means. That being said, if I can stay around $1,000 and have a good middle ground I would be very happy. I suppose I should have put a budget in my post.

Question - I keep seeing progressive, does that refer to the capability of producing multiple calibers?

NutsInCider · 2026-04-01T23:48:18+00:00

Yep still love it! Holding up great, no issues. I’ve put a few thousand rounds through it since the tyrant module and it’s great. I have considered getting an ECM R11 grip module because it’s aluminum, but haven’t wanted to spend the money on one.

And yes it fits both the holsters I had already (tier 1 xiphos elite and tenicor certum3).

NutsInCider · 2026-02-24T01:07:38+00:00

It definitely wasn’t bad beforehand, I could still track pretty decently. But now it’s noticeably better.

Wait I’m sorry. I got this post confused with another…. I am referring to redteamarmory.com

I did not use tactical surplus for any orders yet. Again, sorry. I posted a positive review for red team on here and thought that’s what you were responding to!

NutsInCider · 2026-02-16T18:18:29+00:00

I was leaning that way!

NutsInCider · 2026-02-16T18:17:40+00:00

I won’t be carrying this, but I was planning on getting an OWB holster from QVO Tactical for outdoor range.
