Keep in mind a .380 is a 9mm, just a little shorter.
Not even close

45, 40 and the 50 cal is all i would use if the 40 0r the 45 caliber wont bring down the 300 pound bad guy then he will get a very warm welcome with the 50 call that I do have and rarely do i ever bring that out
This is about the minimum I carry for self defense.
I carried a .22 for a long time and had no worries. A couple .22 hollow points in anyone will make them think twice. Well unless there on meth but I have seen stories of a .45 not stopping guys on meth.

9mm in a semi, .38spl+p in a J frame
The .380 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol) pistol cartridge is a rimless, straight-walled pistol cartridge developed by firearms designer John Browning. The cartridge headspaces on the mouth of the case.[2] It was introduced in 1908 by Colt, and has been a popular self-defense cartridge ever since. Other names for .380 ACP include .380 Auto, 9mm Browning, 9mm Corto, 9mm Kurz, 9mm Short, and 9x17mm. It is not to be confused with .38 ACP
I would say pretty damn close
Kinda like the S&W .500 and the .50 BMG, pretty close.

Have you tried grouping this mixture at target? What were the results? Just curious.
Yeah, and .22 LR and .223 Remington, it's real damn close.
huh? you carry 3 different ammo types in a 5 shot revolver? I don't understand what the point of that is. In fact, I don't even understand what the point of carrying 357 magnum in a j-frame revolver is. All you get is a incredible amount of recoil with negligible velocity improvement due to the short barrel. 158gr HPSWC or 135gr Speer Gold Dot Short Barrel is excellent out of snubby barrels and is very controllable.
This, like comparing a 223 and 22lr and saying they are both 22....380 typically uses bullets in the ~90gr area, going about 1000fps. 9x19 is usually 115-150gr, going atleast 1000fps, sometimes upwards of 1400.
Most loadings in 9x19 produce twice the kinetic energy that the equivalent load in .380 produces.
1mm of case length might not seem like a lot, but it is.
