OP, I'll be another that adds here -- skip the hand press and go for the bench mount Single Stage. Or if you are really worried about making the plunge, find a friend that reloads and go over for an afternoon/evening and take a spin on their equipment. In either case, I'd recommend finding a borrowed copy of the ABCs and reading through it. Some libraries have it available for borrowing. I'd actually suggest reading that first and then going through the equipment.
This forum section has some stickies at top - go through those. Lots of very good info there about starting out, equipment -- Essential vs good vs nice to have.
On your list above, I'd say ditch the proprietary Lee hand primer with it's specialized shell holders and maybe pick up the RCBS standard one. It's a few dollars more, but it uses normal shellholders that you will use with your dies. Don't worry about the trimmer -- you don't need it for pistol yet. And if you buy carbide pistol dies you won't need lube.
And ask questions here. There is a ton of helpful folks and information.
