It takes two ...
I carry a 360PD AirLite manufactured from Unobtainium materials like Scandium and Titanium for a super light weight:
Less than a pound loaded and holstered.
I carry it inside the waistband in Appendix carry. Once up to body temperature it is as if it isn't there. With the CT laser boot grips on it it doesn't print, even with a tight T-shirt over it.
It provides ready access and just as important, I can protect it when it is always right in front of me. I can find it from the fetal position, important if taken down with a surprise attack.
It's revolver reliable (98%?) and is dead simple to operate. Pull the trigger and it fires, one step operation with no safety as an off mode. It's always on and always hot. Great contact weapon for situations where you can't afford to miss
Downsiders are a vicious, punishing, recoil when firing Magnum ammo. Very short sight radius due to the inch an 7/8 barrel and poor sight positioning. The 340 Pro Series proves that great sights are possible in a Snubby:
After shooting five rounds of .357's out of the AirLite I ended the session and my wrist hurt fir three days. Now I carry Hornady Critical Defense .38 Spcl (not even plus p) and with the help of the laser, it provides great close in self defense accuracy with fast follow-up shots.
I bought the 340 Pro to shoot, and to have the power of magnum loads if needed. When in carry the 340 is loaded with Hornaday 125 gr XTP's in .357 magnum.

S&W 627 PC in a Lobo Enhanced Pancake holster
For me, the S&W 627 PC was a tough gun to carry. Always seemed too heavy and printed easily in the Galco holster. It all changed when I picked up a Lobo Enhanced Pancake holster. Absolutely incredible. The gun disappears. No weight and no printing. I love to carry it now.

No s&w revolvers for ccw carry, don't trust them. 4/1/2017 lol
No I carry a ruger police service six 357 for a revolver if I do.
Mainly, lately a cz82 in 9mm makarov.

I typically wear it on the right hip from 2:30 to 3:30 depending on how the shirt hangs.

The 642 while not quite as light as its Scandium brethren is no slouch when it comes to carrying light...
I keep switching between the 637 and 60.
The 637 is so small and light, and slips right in my pocket. I have learned to shoot it "adequately".
The 60 is 2" longer and 9 oz heavier. But I shoot it MUCH better, and it throws .357 MAG bombs.
It's always a choice.

One for the off hand pocket. One for the belt.

Most of the time I carry a Sig 938 or a S&W 360 J. When I carry the 360, I carry a couple of speed strips in my back pocket.

SemiAuto nearly 100% of the time...until the past 6 months or so when I decided to try my 340PD. Now I carry it most of the time in an Uncle Mikes front pocket with a pouch of speed strips in the left pocket. For running around and General everyday errands it is great. It's only 13 ounces...I don't even notice it most of the time.
I still use the Sig 229 and M11A1D, just not as much.

I carry an H&K P2000 five days to and from work (duty gun). Off duty is a 2 1/2" model 66-5 most often. I do confess to carrying a Glock 27 sometimes in the summer (shorts) and a 2" model 64-3 DAO in a jacket pocket occasionally in the winter.
1974 Colt Cobra 75% of the time, S&W 9mm. Shield the rest. Just used to carrying the Cobra.
