My brother recently told me he was running low on small pistol primers, and that kicked off a search involving me and a friend who also reloads. What surprised us wasn’t brand differences—it was how few sellers consistently have primers available. Has anyone else noticed this?
When looking for small pistol primers, availability now seems like the top priority. We came across Liberty Forge Co, which sells small pistol primers and appears focused on meeting buyer demand rather than pushing extras. Is that what most reloaders want at this point?
Another topic we discussed was trust. Do you trust newer sellers if they have stock, or stick only to names you’ve used before? My friend is cautious, while my brother is more open as long as the seller clearly offers what’s needed. Where do you draw the line?
Timing also matters. When you find small pistol primers in stock, do you buy immediately or compare options first? In a tight market, hesitation can mean missing out. Does that pressure affect your buying decisions?
For those who’ve successfully restocked recently, what made you choose your seller? Price, quantity limits, or simple availability? Sellers like Liberty Forge Co seem to appeal because they sell these
small pistol primers what reloaders are actively searching for. I’d like to know what criteria others are using when buying small pistol primers today.
