My everyday carry used to be a Charter Arms 38 spl. snubby. Recently I upgraded to a S&W model 640 in 357, and I can't believe the size difference. It came with big rubber combat grips. I replaced them with Hogue Boot Grips. That made it a little more concealable.

Weather permitting, I often carry a 5" S&W model 60 in a shoulder rig. That hasn't changed for a long time.

i started out with a tarus .38 snub. and currently have a kel tec .32. that i carry in my right front pocket. it's not my first choice of caliber but it  is easy to carry! my next bigger pistol is a 4inch s$w 67 in .38special. and a 4inch 686. the 686 is much heavier than the 67. i have thought to carry one of these in the winter time.

Stayed the same!  The pistol has changed, though.  Used to be a 1911-A1. 
Now it's a Glock Model G-21.  Both are 45 acp.

Mostly smaller.  It's a tough question to answer because I try to select a carry gun to fit both my outfit and the situation.  For everyday, mostly every where carry, it's my S&W 640 .357.  Carries well in a Galco Deep cover holster rig that I modded a bit.

As we all know, there are situations that demand a more discreet gun.  That's when the Beretta Tomcat comes out.  In an Uncle Mike's pocket sleeve or an ankle rig, it disappears.

I used to carry all types of semi autos, but got me a real nice 2" ported 5 shot 44 mag now.

Mine has gotten smaller. Went from a S&W sigma to a Taurus PT140 to a Keltec P3AT. Occasionally I'll carry the taurus when weather conditions allow me to hide it.

My CCW has gotten smaller.  I started out 10 years ago carrying a Sig P228 (which I still do sometimes), but my primary weapon is a S&W M38 Airweight Bodyguard 38 spl.  I also have a Glock 17, 23, and Ruger Blackhawk 357 that I seldom tote but make great truck guns.
