Small pistol primers

[JB]

So i try to use federal small pistol primers they have always work ,but I'm have hard time to fined them in stock what you guys think are the next best primers

If you don't need the sensitivity that Federal's provide than almost anything will do. S&B primers work well in all my guns except for my "tuned" revolvers (Federal only).

Lawrys in Caledonia has Federal in stock. I haven't had an Issue with CCI's

Where abouts in On are you?
I have almost 900 that I can sell you, my handguns are fine with any primer pretty much.

I've used all major brands in my pistols: never had any issues with any of them.

I’ve had no problems with CCI.

I have used all the major some of the minor brands in over 100 different handguns..

Federal is by far the most sensitive (and expensive).

Some revolvers in double action and some striker fired pistols will not fire 100% with anything except Federal.

These get Federals. All the others get CCI, S & B, Fiocci, Winchester, etc.

OP, try some CCI. If they work you will have a cheaper choice of primers.

1. Federal SPP.
2A. Winchester SPP.
2B. CCI SPP.
3. Fiocci, Dominion, S&B.

In order of my preference......

Lawry's for Federals for revolver use and CCI for everything else. I actually have seen them in CTC on occasion but buying per 100 is too expensive.

Almost anything should work fine if you don't have tuned guns with light springs. I run CCI 400 (small rifle) almost exclusively for all my small primer loading. For very high pressure rifle and magnum pistol loads I use CCI 450 or Rem 7.5 which will definitely present occasional light strikes in most stock handguns.
