Cartridge is as important as platform is. The design and performance of the projectile is all that matters.. 38SPL, 357MAG, 9MM Luger, .380acp, 38 super all throw an identical projectile and could be confused with each other post mortem.
You feel the .380 performs as well as the others on your list?
I also question the wisdom of including the .380 ACP in with the other cartridges mentioned. As I tell anyone considering the .380 for self defense, "You shoot somebody with that and you're gonna piss them off".
