I just swapped out the knurled plastic ball handle on my LNL AP for a billiard ball and wow what a difference. That extra larger size compared to the original with the nice smooth surface is much better for handling and pushing to seat primers.

I was also looking at the Classic Turret thinking of swapping out the wood ball grip handle for a billiard ball but I'm not sure it would fit with the Safety Prime. I have no desire to whack my thumb on the primer tray each time. But I bet if I could find a way to bend that arm a little bit more...

I added a red pool ball to mine CTP and it doesn't interfere with the Safety Prime. My old hands really appreciate the larger ball. On bad day I dust my hands with a little talcum powder and it's even easier.
An ignorant person is one who doesn't know what you have just found out.

When setting a job up for myself it must be Idiot Proof as well, as I am a bigger idiot than most people I know, and I prove it to myself everyday.
