Wow, you\'re going to get some varying answers on this one. 
I will carry revolvers and semiautos. I used to CC a Taurus 617 - that\'s a 7-shot .357. The cylinder on that thing is big. You can carry more ammunition in a flatter profile with a semiauto. If you don\'t practice with semiautos much and risk limp-wristing and jamming, a revolver would good for you.
I say carry whatever is most accurate, reliable and concealable for you. Get your hands on as many guns as you can and shoot them. Find you what you like and don\'t like about them, and you can narrow down your options from there.
You may find you don\'t want to deal with a manual safety and go with a semiauto that doesn\'t have one, or you\'ll choose a revolver. You might discover you like cocked n'locked.
Practice shooting with one hand, from retention, and run through some weak hand drills. A semiauto pocket rocket isn\'t going to do you much good if you can\'t control it, and a revolver with a long trigger pull can be the same.
The first CC gun you get will most likely not be your last. I\'ve gone from a Walther PPK/S to a Glock 23, a Kahr K40, a Taurus 617, a Para C6.45, and I carry either a USPc or a S&W 640 as a main gun these days.
Happy hunting!
