Any source for Small Pistol Primers?

Thanks

I'd say substitute Small Rifle... but those are even harder to find.

Can small MAGNUM primers be substituted for small standard primers?

I've shot Wolf SRMs in 9mm. The only downside being that about 1% or so wouldn't fire because of the thicker primer cup.

I lucked out and completed an order for a case within a couple of minutes of the text notification last week (Midway).

I've recently used Federal SRPs with no issues for 9mm and would not hesitate to do so again.

I think someone inquired with Federal, and they said the small rifle and pistol were the same primer. Don't quote me on that... I'm not 100% sure it was Federal... but it was one of the big boys.

Yea,,I have used small rifle primers alot in my Glocks and hell even large rifle in my 1911s,,,not much of a problem !! Now I have had 0 problems with the Wolf Mag primers,,but do have a fail to fire with the Tula small pistol,,,good practice I guess,,,,Tap/Rack/Bang !!

Things are tough out there for sure,,keep your eyes peeled & ya should find 1K here & there,,,I'm sure it will last a bit longer,,but I have about had it with this crap of nothing in stock,,,LOL I have shot so many Mag/Standard Small Pistol Primers,,I don't even alter my load,,,pretty much no issues for me,,but you should always check loads and look for pressure signs in your own gun,,ya just never know,,
