This time of year I like to carry my SIG P229 Enhanced Elite chambered in .357 SIG. I purchased it as a .40 S&W and also purchased a Bar Sto 9mm conversion barrel. I swapped out the factory SIG night sights for XS Standard Dots and I added Hogue G10 grips to replace the E2 grips that came with it. I carry it in a modified Bravo Concealment Torsion IWB holster. They don't make them for the thicker .40/.357 slides, so I had to use a heat gun to reform it a bit. I also added a Aholster wedge (which I put on all my AIWB holsters).
I recently changed two of my other carry guns. I was very fond of carrying a Gen4 G26 which I sold to "upgrade" to a Gen5 G26 with Ameriglo Agent Sighs. Unlike most people I've heard from, I prefer the finger grooves of the Gen4, but instead of buying another one, I instead switched to a Beretta PX4 Storm Compact in 9mm which is a great firearm in most respects. I switched out the sights with Ameriglos. I also changed the decocker to the D configuration with the "carry" profile. I also carry it in a Dara MTO minimalist AIWB holster.
I also carried a Smith & Wesson M&P Bodyguard 380 for many years, but I recently sold it and switched over to a Ruger LCP II. I like both guns for different reasons. The fit and finish is noticeably better on the Bodyguard. The initial trigger pull is also better, and I liked the option of the diminutive manual safety. The trigger on the LCP II, however, is infinitely better for rapid follow up shots, and I essentially made my decision on that. I just use this with th holster it came with.
My newest edition is my Smith & Wesson Performance Center M&P Shield M2.0 in 9mm. I had to send it in right after it arrived because the trigger was coming in consistently around 7 lbs and the manual safety didn't appear to be working correctly. I had sold my original M1.0 Shield about five years ago and always regretted it, so I added another one back in again. I will be carrying in a Bravo Concealment Torsion holster I have waiting for it along with another Aholster wedge that's on its way. My Shield is due back this Wednesday (crossing my fingers). I also have a set of orange Ameriglo i-dot night sights waiting for it. I may buy a +2 Magguts floorplate to test. If I can get one that proves reliable, I think it would be a nice addition to the Shield.
These are the only modifications I've made and they're really the only ones I am interested in. I'm also considering getting a M&P Shield in 45 auto or perhaps an M&P 45 M2.0 sub compact, but I haven't made up my mind. My goal is to have carry options in all or most of the popular calibers (.380 ACP, .38 Special, 9mm, .40 S&S, .45 ACP and .357 SIG). Personally I don't have a need for .357 Magnum or 10mm.
