While holsters are a personal thing I have to second a couple of recommendations made here.
I have both 3" and 4" K frames. I have a Bianchi 3S for the 3". I found a Don Hume H715-M IWB holster for 4" K frames in a used holster bin. The Hume holster felt much better to wear and I couldn't figure out why. Eventually I figured it was because the cylinder rides at belt level with the Hume just as ContinentalOp recommends. The stability of the low riding Hume holster leads to comfort and concealability.
I like the snaps on the belt loop on the Bianchi and I prefer having at least a thumb break for retention even with a concealed carry holster. But now the 3" stays home and I carry the 4" because the Hume rides so well.
URIT made a great recommendation with a useful link.
