I bought a Lee auto breech lock pro to decap. The case feeder is cheap and you can decap a lot or rounds quickly. Also, you can remove the index rod and basically make it a single stage. I do get the occasional hiccup with it though.

Best single stage press for decaping 9mm brass

A Lee press with a case kicker will speed up your work.
I use the Lee hand press and sit on the couch when I'm depriming and resizing 9mm

You can go with the lee brand. They have some basic single stage press in their line. They don't cost much. Or you can spend big bucks for one. Look at what you think you will use it for in the future, not what you are going to use it for now.
You sir, have not seen the prazi press. Although for depriming, not the most economical.
Great looking press but the price tag is ridiculous. I will stick to watching Gavin on Ultimate Reloader
He has one. Im waiting for his comparison this month. I dont think I will swing for one but Im curious how the Frankford coax does against the Forster
I liked everything about the Frankford up until I saw the universal/ automatic shell holder. I just see that breaking.
Same design as the Forster and those dont break as far as I know.
I started with a 550B for reloading. When I started loading rifles, I found it was a pain to size lubed bottle necked cartridges on the 550B so bought a Lee Challenger single stage for that. I use it for decapping and resizing all rifle cartridges and some pistol when needed. I also use it for swaging military crimped brass and sizing my cast boolits. Have really gotten my money out of it.
They do make the small hand press that would work well for decapping brass.
