Hardened pistol case holder designed for use with Wilson case trimmer. Engineered for .45 Auto and other low-taper pistol cartridges. Requires arbor press or mallet for insertion and removal. Made in the U.S.A.
This hardened case holder is purpose-built for trimming .45 Auto and other pistol cartridges with minimal body taper. Unlike rifle cases, low-taper pistol cases require a specialized holder constructed similarly to a neck sizing die.
Key Features:
Unlike rifle case holders, this pistol holder cannot be bumped in and out casually. Cases must be firmly seated using a light arbor press or mallet, and similarly must be driven or pushed out after trimming. This deliberate process ensures consistent, uniform case length—critical for reliable crimping and ammunition performance.
While trimming pistol cases takes somewhat longer than rifle cases with this holder, the result is exceptional case length uniformity. This precision directly translates to more consistent crimping and superior ammunition reliability.
This holder is designed specifically for use with the Wilson case trimmer and is available for multiple pistol cartridges including .38 Special, .38 Super Auto, .357 Magnum, .44 Special, .44 Magnum, .40 S&W, .45 Auto, .45 Colt, and 10mm.
