This is really .380 ACP vs 9mm Parabellum from short barrels.
.380 is 2d-1 pi with 120/1,300 range.
9x19 is 2d+1 pi with 140/1,600 range.
For all practical purposes, the ranges are identical.
2d-1 pi does 1-11 base damage with an average of 6.
2d+1 pi does 3-13 base damage with an average of 8.
But the pudding is in the eating...
I've done the math numerous times before, so let's jump to the conclusion.
The LCP Max is light. Very light.
Per mag, per pound... On average...
With hollow-points.
77.78 points with the 10 rounder and 84 with the 12.
The Shield Plus gets:
65 with the 10 rounder and 81.25 with the 13.
Advantage LCP!
However...
On average that Shield Plus has slung 100 or 130 points down range where Ruger pushes just 70 or 84.
Winner S&W!
