Welcome to the guide ks 1911

Yes, they make them, yes, you still have to lube them, and omygod are they expensive. They are designed to have a much longer working life for commercial reloaders, not for us regular guy types, and not for the convenience of working without lube like carbide handgun dies. Too bad. I suppose if they were practical for straightwall rifle cases they'd have been pushing them on us long ago.
