I carry the biggest gun I can hide properly. Winter this year was a XD45 Service. Last summer was a XD9 sub-compact or a Kel Tec P3AT. Since some days, at any given time of the year are warm or cold, I carry what is most practical. I would carry a long gun or shotgun if I thought people wouldn't freak out. I shoot better with a longer barrel and I just like the .45 and want to center my carry around that more in the future. For now, I settle for a 9mm or .380 when I have to. If I have a chance I will get all my guns from the same maker and same caliber. Less of a chance of not being able to grip and work the gun properly in a stressful situation. Like you wrote, it is really a very personal situation that will determine your choice/s.
