Ben - Certainly the .380 is superior to the 22 mag for self defense. But the "best" for your wife is whatever she feels more comfortable with. Let her try both a revolver and one or two of the excellent .380 semi-autos on the market. Check the Springfield 380 EZ model, especially. If she is more comfortable with a small semi auto pistol, then she will actually carry it. If she has a revolver that she doesn't particularly like, just because you or someone else think that's what she SHOULD use ... then she won;t carry it and you;ve defeated the whole purpose of arming her. Give her a chance to choose - and let her decide, after trying a few for herself. Let her soot a 9mm pistol even - like a S&W shield. These gals are much smarter than many give them credit for .. and she will carry something she likes ... which is , I assume, the reason you are buying her a firearm - self-defense.

No doubt about it the .380 is better than the 22Mag

Ben, I would always choose a center fire round over a rim fire round. If you want a 380 revolver fine, but I would just get my wife a nice 38 special chambered revolver. Like one of these:--budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/26498/s%26w+m642+38+special+stainless------------budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/70712/s%26w+m442+5rd+38sp+%2bp+187%22+no+internal+lock
