Anyone try these? How reliable?

I've loaded over a thousand rounds of 9mm using Servicios Aventuras small pistol primers. I'm using American brass. When loading them on my Dillon 550 they don't all seat well (to the bottom of the primer pocket). To get reliable ignition, I must use my Hornady hand primer to complete the seating process. They are mostly reliable when doing this. Of course it adds time to the reloading process which is why I have a couple of progressive presses. After reseating the primers, they are ok for range use for practice in my striker fired pistols, but I wouldn't trust them for loading personal defense, competition or hunting ammo. Winchester small pistol primers have always been my go-to primers and I've never had any trouble when seating them normally in my Dillon 550. If you have different reloading equipment, if you always use a hand primer to seat primers, or you use them in a hammer fired handgun, like a revolver, etc., your experience might be different.

used about 1000 so far no issues except some brass requires extra push to seat the primer. All fired

Those Argentine primers have worked just fine in my hammer fired pistols. Not so well in striker fired pistols.
