Does the 357mag out of a snubbie barrel generate significantly better numbers than a .40 out of a 3-3.5" sub-compact like the Glock 27 or Ruger SR40c?

The snubbies kick like crazy, but they have no slide/spring absorbing the some of the recoil, so its hard to draw a end-result comparison from just shooting one of the miserable things.
