As the title states Right now it goes between my .380 and my 9mm but hopefully soon I can add the compact 40 to the list
I carry a 1911/.45 commander and .380 just about all the time when I leave the house. I always got the .380 on me.
I carry a .38 special revolver
Kimber TLEII stainless in .45 acp. Nuff said:smt023

Primarily, I carry my USPc and XDsc, both 9mm. I have carried my Beretta 96 a bit too, and doesn't seem bulky at all. I do have my KelTec .380 for the times when I can't carry something bigger.
My main carry gun is my M&P compact. I bought a NAA Guardian .32 last week to keep in my pocket as my, always with me even in my gym shorts on a hot Texas summer day gun.
My 357 Mag seems right at home in my big old purse.
XD 40 depending on my outfit. Kel Tec P3AT at all times.
A Colt Combat Commande off and on for the last 20 years. I occasionaly try something else, but I allways come back.

I carry either a full size Colt Double Eagle or a full size 1911a1
ruger SP101 in 357mag mainly, sig 229 in 357sig during the winter months when a jacket will conceal it.
To answer your question, a 4" K-frame in .38 Special is usually my carry in any ambient temperature(there are no seasons in Floriduh) though you believe it to be a less probable choice than the .22 or .32 for whatever bizarre reason.
I usually carry one of my Colt Detective specials in the summer since I can carry it in a pocket easily. If the weather is not too hot I carry my Smith M&P9mm fullsize:smt1099
I finally got my Beretta .32 out of layaway and I ordered a Glock 26 9mm :smt023
I don't really "carry", seeing as I don't have a C.W.P. But, my D.W. is always nearby, stoked with Cor-Bon 110 gr JHP, .357s. There are also 3 speedloaders handy. One with another re-load, and two with Federal Hydra-shock 110 gr .38 Specials. Oh, I almost forgot the the C.C.I. shotshells.
My "American Express" (Never Leave Home Without it) is a S & W Model 19 in .357 Magnum.

My .40 Cal Sig 229 SAS is my current daily carry. I've purchased (Out Of State) a Taurus PT111 9mm as my summertime CCW. Time will tell, luv my Sig!

Old Padawan. In reply to why I also keep .38s with my reloads is really quite easy. Versatilty.
Here's why. The reason I keep the D.W. handy is the fact that gives me more options if, or when, I need to actually have it. I often drive long distances to and from my gigs. Sometimes I'm in swampy(aligator) areas. Sometimes I'm in a low woodlands(brown bears) area. In Florida, there are nasty snakes (the shotshells) in just about anyplace.
And lets not forget the worst predator of all, the two legged kind. Some gigs take me into, or through, or work, in some rather unsavory places.
From what I've read, a "like" revolver best suits my requirements.
I'm surely no expert. Maybe someone else has a pertinate reply.
I'm listening. :smt1099
I always have my Kel-Tec P32 in my weak side pocket for backup and whenever I can, I carry my FiveseveN on my strong side hip.
I have carried a DW in the past, I am curently using a S&W 19 on and off. I like the .357.
Why step down to the .38? You have a nice medium frame revolver that should be relitivly pleasent to shoot with a standard .357 loading.
Why use less?
Using .38 loads will change the way the gun performs a bit. I would reccomend finding a single load for the gun that you like. Use it as your primary and as your speed load as well. Consistancy is good.
I like the Winchester 140gr Silver Tip in a 2 - 3" as it seems to flash less in low light and Federal 158 jhp in 4-6", this is strictly a personal preferance.
Usually I carry my Taurus #905 revolver in 9mm.
If the need is for smaller I have a Keltec and a Bersa in 380.
sig 232 IWB with extra mag. in my front pocket
I carry a Ruger P97.
