"Just point and pull, Honey"

All my self defense handguns are wheelguns. I've have had too many semiauto fails

You choice for CC is a good one, no knocking it. However, your note about failures on semi-autos, no good reason for that if the gun is a reputable brand, well maintained, and using good ammunition. I see a lot of problems with semi-autos, and almost 90% are due to folks shooting cheap crappy ammo or reloads, usually from someone other than themselves. The other 10% are maintenance items on the guns like worn/broken extractors or worn springs.

A reload, if not resized properly will stick in the chamber when its supposed to be extracted. A reload with the primer not properly seated can misfire. A reload with incorrect powder charge can squib or cause overpressure. Reputable factory ammunition rarely will have these issues.
