I don't really have carry rotations, as such. My primary carry gun is Colt Lightweight Commander in a Milt Sparks strong side, IWB holster, but sometimes due to clothing choice, weather, etc. I will carry a variety of other weapons. I feel most confident with the lightweight Commander, but will pare down to a Smith and Wesson Shield when I don't want to carry as much weight, etc. and I know I can shoot the shield just fine, however, I do believe I am giving up a little, with that choice vs the .45 Commander. Sometimes I carry even smaller guns, but compromises sometimes need to be made.
One should be competent with a variety of weapons, but also do not lie to yourself and think that you are as well armed with a smaller gun, because you are not; its a judgement call, based on what is going on in your life on any given day.
