IMHO, it's safer and simpler to modify ones lifestyle and plan around dangerous setting, than it is to carry a firearm and not be WHOLELY committed to its use in a self-defense situation.
That said, the above mentioned revolvers (Airweights and the like) are good choices for carry. Most good defense rounds come in 38 and the older ones (such as hydra-shok) are generally not loaded as hot as say, CorBon defense rounds.
Sig 232 (.380) and Sig 239 (9mm, 40S&W, or 357sig) might also be good choices. I personally would shy away from .380 for self-defense. They are fun to shoot, but if one is shooting in defense of ones life, you want to be inflicting as much tissue trauma as possible. I feel the 9mm is a better choice (than 380) in that regard, and almost every type of ammo available is released in 9mm.
For your average (self-defense) CCW holder, I would think weight and comfort play a significant factor in the decision. I can't imagine why any person (woman or man) would want to carry the 44 automag mentioned above. 5+ lbs of concealed steel? Fun.
