This is after you have been cleared of criminal charges.

Yup. There's been a lot of different discussions about this in the past. It would be a good subject to search up in the Self-Defense forum as to the pros & cons of using handloads for SD use.
As for the Bersa Thunder... The half-dozen that I've shot have been reliable with pretty much any of the modern factory hollow-point loads.
My own Thunder really likes the 95gr LRN plinking/bunny load that I brewed up for my .380 Mak as well.
It is a very good little pistol, especiallu fopr the pricetag, but there are quite a few 9x19s in a similar size range that are cheaper to feed. But that's a whole nuther discussion too.
