Was thinking about getting a 380 wheel gun any thoughts or suggestions on what to get or what not to get I know what feels good to me is different for others just looking for others input
So what do you mean ? A .380 is a semi-auto round, but a .38 special is a revolver round. I never saw a revolver chambered for the .380 acp. But if you want a revolver I would suggest a .38 Special. It's a much better caliber for self defense than the .380 acp. As far as brands of revolvers go, I would stick to Smith & Wesson, Ruger, Taurus or a Colt if you can find one. Good luck.
Taurus and Cobray make 380 revolvers, they along with S&W make them in 9mm, may be others, still don't know why
here in ga 38 is very hard to find I thought about 9mm but that's still hard to get your hands on 380 is easy for me to get and price is better than 38

A buddy of mine recently picked up a Taurus. 380 5-shot wheelgun. He was looking for a light-kicking airweight for his wife and thought he had found it. He's put a couple hundred rounds through it, but has not been entirely pleased with it. It does kick a little lighter than a 38 Special, but the difference isn't very great. The big problem with the. 380 revolver lies with its rimless round. Because the round is rimless, the ejector rod will not eject a spent round. Reloading the revolver requires that each round be picked out of each chamber individually, a slow and tedious process, especially under pressure. I understand that full moon clips are available to facilitate reloads, but this involves additional equipment, expense and steps.Was thinking about getting a 380 wheel gun any thoughts or suggestions on what to get or what not to get I know what feels good to me is different for others just looking for others input

My best advice is, if you want a revolver, purchase one in a rimmed cartridge like the 38 Special or 32 H&R Magnum, unless you're willing to deal with caliber-specific full moon clips and loading tools. They can be a pain. There are countries where handguns in military calibers (38 Spl., 9mmP & 45 ACP) are prohibited. Perhaps a 380 revolver makes sense there...
