None, the projectile diameter is the same for both - .355. If you are asking about a complete round of ammunition, the 9mm case is 19mm long and the 380 case is 17 mm long. This cartridge is called the ".380 Auto" for use with an automatic pistol. However, the most common 9mm round is the "9mm Lugar". This cartridge has a heavier bullet and a longer case, thus a larger muzzle velocity and energy than the .380 Auto.
