Reloading is great, if you shoot a lot or shoot a lot of rare
or expensive calibers. I wouldn't bother trying to load for most semi-auto handgun calibers, as they are relatively cheap to begin with in stores. Not only that, if you don't plan on going that often, you'd be spending $3-400 easily on equipment and supplies just to save a couple bucks down the road.
I load for magnum handgun and any rifle larger than .30-30 save the .30
carbine, since it's hard to find for me. I like paying $12 for 50 .44 mags instead of $35. I wouldn't buy all the dies and components to make 50 9mm for $9-10 instead of $12 at the store. You also have to figure in the time spent.
Get your guns now while you can. You need the gun before
you need the ammo. If you have your heart set on the lcp, get it. If not, I'd suggest saving up for something more.
