Over the last 3 almost 4 years I've gone primarily to revolvers. I do carry 1911s often but not nearly as much as a k frame.

I work from home now and find that the LCR is the easiest to carry with sweat pants.
When I go out, it's in the pocket with a G26 on the belt.
I am getting a 3-inch 856, which may become my belt carry pistol.
I previously spent about 50% of my shooting time with a semi-auto and about 50% with a revolver. Always preferred a revolver, but a semi-auto seemed to make more sense on paper.
Until factory ammo prices went through the roof, and factory ammo availability dried up.
I do a lot of dry fire practice, and ran into big issues simply finding replacement factory carry ammo over the last couple of years, to replace rounds that were chambered, then re-chambered, and started getting a little beat up. For revolvers, re-chambering is not an issue.
That was all I needed to go all revolver. I even bought a new S&W 66-8 to celebrate.

I have over 5,000 rounds of 9mm range ammo, and I don’t know how many hollow points. My wife shoots an excessive amount of ammo, and I tried to tame that by not loading too many mags for her Glock. The ease of reloading a revolver made her a convert. 🤣
Celebration guns are always good! 👍👍👍👍
It's a pretty good sign I've not really been on the forum much when there's a thread about going "full revolver" and no one tags me on the first page.
Might need to fix that.
I have a pretty huge revolver collection that has done nothing but grow since 1986, but I still can’t bring myself to do this.
I will just have to live vicariously through you guys doing it, while I deal with my irrational, overly paranoid, mental defect that won’t let me leave the house other than walks around the farm with the revolver as my primary. Who knows, maybe there is a cure. I am certainly equipped to do it when my mind finally lets me.
I have not gone full revolver, but they are a big part of my carry.
During the work week, I have been running my 327 LCR for about 3 and 1/2 years (yes, I was an early adopter and did it before it was cool, and even influenced DB a bit) and even in my off time when I have more dress freedom, I find myself using the LCR a significant amount. Plus, I enjoy shooting and dry firing revolvers more, which means I am more likely to practice live and dry with them, which means I am pretty likely to use them well if I need to.
Not quite to the point where I run revos exclusively, but once I get back a special project gun, that may change....
