I carry my .38 S&W model 38 Airweight more often than my LCP. I shoot it better than the LCP and with .158+p SWC ammo I have no doubt penetration, which in my opinion is more important than expansion in a pocket sized handgun, would excede that of any ammo I could stuff into the LCP.
With that being said, there are quite a few 9mm and even .45 ACP pocket sized pistols available in todays market that make the .38 versus .380 pocket pistol comparison a moot point.
I carry my revolver more often than my autos strictly because it fits my style of carry and I shoot it better at speed. But its a compromise between power, shootability and concealability IMO. If I belt carry instead of pocket, I carry at minimum a 9mm loaded with , never my .38 snub.
