Nothinglike that velocity out of a pistol barrel! More like 900-1100 (if that) out of that pistol barrel, as a WAG.

A 380 ACP is commonly loaded with 85-88 grain bullets at 990 F
PS.

So the only gain is maybe is a .03 increase in bullet diameter EXCEPT the .410 is undersize so as to pass through a full choked barrel, which pretty much negates that slight advantage.

That Judge is mighty big to shoot a .380 out of!

.45 colt is 200 grains, .452 diameter at 1000 FPS, out of a pistol barrel and comes in several MUCH handier packages.

Considering I avoid the .410 as much as I can, my opinions are only that, and speculation. That comes from my use of .410 shotguns when I was a kid. I don't know why one would kill a doberman eating through our rabbit hutch with one shot at 30-40 yards, but wouldn't kill a cottontail rabbit with 2 shots at 10 yards - both using #6 shot.

Never could get one-shot kills on dove and quail on the wing with one, either. No problem when I went to a 12 gauge. It was most likely the lugnut behind the trigger that was the problem, but I have no interest whatsoever in the .410. I sure wouldn't want to get shot in the face with any of them, though.

Sometimes you wish he would just lie to us.
