Here is a perspective from more than 50 years of shooting.
Why would S&W or other manufacturers care about an "answer" to the P365?
A Shield seems to be a good compromise between size or concealability and shootability, or at least a couple of million owners think so.
A Shield is 0.3" taller and longer than a P365, which is about the width of a common lead pencil. An unloaded Shield is 0.5 ounces heavier, but a P365's extra rounds bring its loaded weight to 0.8 ounces more than a Shield. Realistically, those differences in specifications are pretty meaningless.
If having the smallest, lightest gun is the only thing that matters, true pocket .380s are available as highly concealable get-off-me guns.
