Without reading any of the responses you've received so far, I just want to say that I appreciate that you are obviously experienced and knowledgeable, because you've chosen a small revolver. Step one is always to choose a pistol that is suited to the physiology of the person. You obviously know to choose the most pistol that fits into that package (years ago when I carried I chose a 44 Bulldog). And you know holsters and quality when you mention Sparks.
My comment, then, is that women are more difficult to 'suit up' than men, because men can be counted on to wear a belt. And belt carry hides small revolvers very well. Women introduce fashion choices that a holster maker otherwise doesn't have to contend with. I've personally fitted some very curvaceous agents (to the point of distraction) and at the waist is best. Modern TV shows make it even easier -- they use a paddle holster and place it at 1:00 so the camera can see it; but not good for safety or concealment.
