Testing the Ruger LCP and the S&W J-frame revolver(342PD) against each other in a fair fight against water jugs and wood. This is a fair match up. I am using Hornady American Gunner ammunition in both and the energy is similar- with the velocity going to the .380 auto, but projectile weight going to the .38 special. See which one wins! Note: on the wood shot at around 5:40, you can actually see the bullet ricochet towards where the camera is.
