I'll bite,
95% of the time my G23 in riding strongside in a Bianchi Carry Loc and a NAA 380acp Guardian is in the right front pocket in a Nemisis holster.
My Sunday ( church gun) is a Sig P232 in a K&D Thunderbird holster stoked with BB Gold Dots, and the same NAA Guardian is in the front pocket.
I have several others guns I could CC but I feel it is important to comit to 1-2 guns and train your muscle memory for them.

Yeah, different environments definitely call for different adaptations. My carry solutions are pretty simple because I don't spend much time wandering around.
At Home ~ Loaded guns are available quickly no matter where I am, so I don't feel the need to carry at home. I'll clip on my SP-101 when working in the yard or garage.
At work ~ No CCW at work, so my SP-101 stays in the car.
Quick errands ~ SP-101 stays in the car. If something about a situation feels dangerous, I won't pack the gun; I'll just avoid the situation. When it's unavoidable, I'll clip on the gun.
At the gym ~ SP-101 stays in the car as opposed to being unsecured in my gym bag. There's a back door, and I'll use it.
Out for dinner, shopping, etc. ~ SP-101 is clipped onto my belt.
Walking the dog ~ SP-101 in spring through fall; GP-100 OWB during the winter. I like carrying the GP, so I do it whenever I'm wearing a long coat.

A J-frame 38special seems to fit pretty well in every situation. I wouldnt take it on a hike in Alaska but other than that its fine for me. I try to keep things simple so I can spend more time enjoying life and less time pondering it.
I'm more a "weather" guy than a situation guy ... I carry my PM-9 in a pocket almost all summer (which here in Texas is still going on, gonna be 80 today!!). When it's cooler, I holster carry my Kimber Ultra Carry II, strong side when walking, cross-draw if I'm doing a lot of driving. Since I got rid of my much-scorned PT-25 "dog-walking" gun, I generally carry a Taurus 617 in a strong-side holster ... we don't have bear to worry about around here, but the occasional randy whitetail buck can cause problems -- and a fat coyote crossed our path two days ago ...
