.380 wheel or .38 special wheel gun. What say ye?

 

[Cat-Herder]

I'd have to say 38spl. I don't see many (actually, never seen any) wheel guns in .380. I prefer them in .357 magnum, as opposed to .38spl, to maximize my fun time with them....

I personally carry a .380 for the sole reason it conceals better on my person. That being said, The .38 is a perfectly capable gun and cartridge IMO. Choose what fits you better.
Good luck in your search.

I would go with a compact 9MM, but between the .380 or 38 SPECIAL, I'll go with the 38 SPECIAL 158 gr. LSWC

looking at the Taurus .380 wheel gun, interesting. Are balistics much different from .38?

 

[RBrianHarless]

.357. You can have the power of a magnum and shoot .38 Specials. That is a win/win all around.

I do own a .380 but not in a wheel gun. Actually, my wife owns the Ruger LCP.

Taurus makes a wheelgun in .380?? Never heard of such a thing.

I'm not seeing one on their website though.

Taurus did a run of auto-chambered revolvers. They weren't very popular. My buddy has one in 9mm, and he's not fond at all of the moon-clips.

 

[Cat-Herder]

Personally, if you're going to carry a revolver with that sized frame, you might as well go 38spl or .357 mag. The .380ACP is pretty much universally considered anemic...

 

[Mgderf]

"Stellar- Clips" or moon-clips are a pain in the wazooo as far as I'm concerned.
Think I'd rather have the .38spl round anyway.

 

[voodoo304]

I didn't see it on their website either. But I stand corrected. And here I didn't think I was gonna learn something new today.

 

[Cat-Herder]

Here's a decent discussion of the ".380 vs 38spl" topic from The High Road.

Good luck with your purchase, either way.

In a revolver I'd go .357 anytime I could. If that's not an option, it .38 Special.

 

[IndyMedic]

In a revolver hands down .38 or .357.

I didn't know they made a .380 revolver until now but it doesn't really make much sense to me when .38 spl readily available.

 

[dhw9am]

Yep, I saw one

Yes they do make a 380 revolver. I saw one at a gun show three weeks
ago. It is a double action only model, and it is not on their web site.
Interesting, but why?

 

[JohnP82]

I personally prefer the .38 over the .380

 

[Huzurabndaddy]

38spl it gives you a lot more options if you reload.
