Not that I am a legal genius or anything, but I remember someone who knew things about this said that packing handloads in a personal defense gun is not a good idea. Something about you loaded them with specific malicious intent and were dying to try them out.

I have heard & read the same thing. I don't care! I load my own defense ammo, to be as accurate as I possibly can.

Sounds like you subscribe to the "My Life, My Rules" philosophy
Let's get down to the rat killing.
Make sure you don't shoot someone in the wrong state.
Cause if you do, no matter the situation, your Azz could be grass.
The one place I know for sure is safe to double tap a intruder, and probably not even see court is Nevada. More specific, Reno.
Whatever you do, make sure you carry factory ammo in your daily carry. If you carry handloads I caution you. If you have to ever use it for defense and take someones life, handloads can come back to bite you in the rear. Reason why is that an attorney can spin this to make you out to be a cold blooded killer that wasn't happy with commercial ammo and needed something more deadly and more powerful. It doesn't matter why you had handloads...
This was a bit of information I picked up during a class taught by an attorney and I've kept it in mind ever since. It makes sense too.
But hey, we are all allowed to do as we please cause this is for the time being, a "free" country...
On this we totally agree. I am just against perpetuation of information that has no basis in fact. This "myth" can be traced back to ONE person and even he can't substantiate it with an applicable case.
Thinking that "handloads" will cause problems with a prosecutor are in the same category as "carry only what your local cops carry". So does that mean if they all carry 9mm's I can't carry a .45? Or even a S&W 500 "because they're more lethal than what your local PD considers adequate?".
Not meaning to argue directly with You, but to point out that the argument is merely a perpetuated Myth.
BTW, I've loaded many, many, thousands of handgun rounds, as well as those I carry for self defense. Every single one has gone bang. I use the same brass, same powders, same primers, and even same bullets as the manufacturer that builds a similar defensive round. Difference is that I weigh every powder charge, take the time to hand inspect each and every SD round I make, and the factory merely "spot checks" theirs. I have an even higher confidence level when it comes to my hand loads than I do for factory loads. The choice is with the user and it should only be based on their level of confidence, not some word of mouth fairy tale.
FWIW, handloading SD ammo may well be the only way people will have any SD ammo in coming times
