Doesn't look good.
At most bullet weights, there's a couple hundred fps's difference. So, accepted light loads for the 9x19 would generally be too heavy for the simulation and dropping the load will likely result in failure to cycle as noted.
I do see that, for lighter bullets (80 & 90gr), the difference is less and the .380 can get pretty close. The sacrifice there might be "sharpness" of the recoil impulse. I guess I'd be leaning towards lighter bullets and slower (for the cartridge) powders.
It might be easier to rent a LC-380 at the local range?
Hell, come to MN and I'll let you shoot Dad's!
