I have Glocks (17, 19, 26 and 34), and an M&P Shield, but I find myself carrying the J-Frame most often because of comfort and ease of concealability. My work is such that most frequently my attire is most amenable to appendix or pocket carry, and I feel most comfortable with a revolver for appendix carry. I run Hornady Critical Defense 110 grain, and I can easily put rounds quickly on target, center of mass, using DA at 7-10 yards. Using SA, one ragged hole at 7 yards. Yes, I'd rather have my G17 at all times, but the venerable J-Frame is venerable for a reason and is quite capable. Just wish it held more rounds! I keep a speed load in my left pocket.
Ritchie Leather Stinger. My go-to IWB appendix carry when I don't need to tuck or with a sweater.
Mitch Rosen Express. My go-to OWB at 3:30. Rides tight and perfect cant. Bought from Crimson Trace.
Simply Rugged Silver Dollar. My go-to OWB at 3:30 when its against bare skin, because the leather comes up as a sweat guard.
Two pocket carry options, Mika and Delfatti, depending on the pocket. In general, I like the Mika better, but the Delfatti lays flatter.

This is nearly identical to the Ritchie Leather Stinger, shown above. It's a great holster, and I like that the leather comes up as a sweat guard. Skip Ritchie worked and was close friends with Lou Alessi for a number of years.
Inspired, I am having one of these made for a tuckable IWB appendix carry!
