Check out the 2" or 3" Kimber K6s. Lighter than a K frame, same six round capacity, and a really great trigger. Although I find them unnecessary, they will offer a model with a Hammer very soon.
...and...you get Kimber's sterling customer service! (and I truly hope it works out for you if you need it) ... Thank you, but I'll stick with a tried and true S&W M60, hammer, adj. sights and a 3" tube. YMMv, RodCheck out the 2" or 3" Kimber K6s. Lighter than a K frame, same six round capacity,

I made a transition from my snubbies to the small micro 380s available today. Modern 380 ammo is quite different than what was available three or four decades ago and actually performs pretty close to what the 38 Special ammo I carried in my snubbies did.I've carried revolvers primarily since the 1980s.
My first carry revolver was a Charter Arms Off Duty .38 Special.
Carried that until I got my first S&W snub. About 1998 or so I transitioned to a Smith 042 Centennial Hammerless.
That's still my primary carry handgun.
I've also carried an S&W 19 2.5" in a shoulder holster.
I have carried semi-autos on and off, primarily a Taurus PT 22 when I need something really small. For awhile I also carried a Kahr K9.
Recently, though, I've been seriously thinking about moving my primary carry gun to a semi-auto 9mm, and the one currently at the top of that heap is the Ruger Security 9.
2. Smith and Wesson M19-3, pinned and recessed. Probably the most beautiful handgun I ever owned. I carried it occasionally in place of, or in addition to, my wonder nine I had at the time. Being young, I traded it off. I still miss it.

A lot depends upon the gun. Triggers on many of today's snubbies are routinely bad. Triggers on short-barreled semi-autos tend to be better, though not always. For example I have a SW modern J-frame that is fairly difficult to shoot because of the trigger but I shoot my Ruger LCR snubby moreaccurately because of the trigger. I shoot almost all my semi-autos fairly well, in large part due to their triggers. The one exception is my first gen Ruger LCP, which is about as accurate in my hands as a weather forecast 30 days in advance.Lots of articles talk about how much harder snubs are to shoot accurately than semi autos....
