roll crimping would also not give the nice sharp EDGE for the cavity in the barrel to headspace off of. If you look at drawings of how the reamer makes the cavity in the barell, you'll see that they ahve a definite spot at which the case is supposed to "catch", setting the case at the proper position.
With the roll, your rounds would potentially go a bit too far in. Again, it may not make a lot of difference (unless you have a round get STUCK!!!!!!!!) but the firing pin may make a light strike. I would be more concerned that the roll would cause it to advance the case too far.
The factory rounds you wisely looked at have the nice sharp end of the case. I'd suggest you make yours the same. A taper crimp die would be better than a roll crimp.
After you reload several times, the case mouth may become somewhat work hardened and may not grasp the bullet as well (I have no experience in pistols, just in .223 remington rifles) and then the taper crimp would be of greater importance. Its only $16.
