If you're shooting a lot of 9mm look hard at a Dillon Square Deal B. They are great pistol caliber presses that will put out a decent amount of ammo.
Sure you can reload 9mm with that little hand press but your production rate is about a box per hour.
If you're really serious about getting into reloading a progressive press is where I'd look. There are two major players in the progressive market.
Dillon and Hornady. Both have their strengths and weaknesses. I'm one of those rare guys who has both a Dillon 650 and a Hornady LnL AP mounted on my bench.
Lee also makes some progressive presses but personally I'd stay away from them. They're pretty quirky. What you need never seems to end. Cabela's is having a sale right now. I dropped almost $500. Powder and primers were 90% of it.
To get started you need:
Press
Dies and shell holder
Powder scale
Calipers
Reloading manual
Case block (not really needed with a progressive press)
If you're doing full length sizing on bottle neck cartridges you'll need a means of trimming cases
Powder funnel (not needed on a progressive)
Priming tool (not needed on a progressive)
Primer tray
Way to clean cases
Case lube (not always needed with carbide dies and straight wall cases)
Bullet puller
Cartridge gauges
That's a good start.
