I have a standard rule. DO NOT reload your handgun ammunition. That's practical advise. If you use your handgun in a self defense scenario. The last thing you need is some Plaintiff's attorney grilling you on your "desire" to kill someone.

I reload my rifle ammunition for hunting. But, when it comes to my handgun ammunition, I will only use factory.

Balderdash!

Load and shoot all the handgun ammo you want. If you're concerned about using your handloads for your carry piece, then don't. You can practice every week with handloads and then make sure your gun is sighted in and functions perfectly with whatever your local LEO's use. To not reload for your handguns at all is just throwing the baby out with the bath water.

In addition to the resources mentioned above, the ABC's of Reloading is another excellent choice for first-time reloaders.
