dodge,
You would set them up basically the same as you would for a revolver or rifle, with the following exceptions:
1 Overall length is more critical with pistol than revolver. Loading manuals specify OAL for particular bullets. Be aware that seating deeper than specified will increase pressures.
2 A taper crimp is recommended for pistols. Many people, me included, use a Lee Factory Taper Crimp Carbide Die to crimp in a separate operation after seating a bullet.
3 Pistols may be somewhat fussy about bullet shape in regard to reliable feeding.
4 Notwithstanding #1, OAL may need to be tweaked for your particular pistol.
Regarding progressive presses: In my opinion, 5-station presses are more versatile than 4-station. It will take at least 4-5 times as long to load ammo on a single stage prees as it would on an optimized progressive. If done with care and attention, quality will be similar. Carbide sizing dies are preferable.
Good luck.
