Need holster advice (3" K frame)

Bianchi Cyclone. Strong side or cross draw option. Fits 2" to 3" K frame (size 2). But it is an OWB holster.

Looks like this:

I have a Simply Rugged holster for my 3" Ruger SP-101. I ordered this holster with an extra belt slot, and the IWB straps. I can't be happier with a holster. It can be carried high, low, or canted on the strong side, canted as a cross draw, or IWB. The gun sits low enough in the holster that the hammer is covered and not poking me. The price was right. I ordered the holster on a Monday, and was notified that it was being shipped that Friday. I am going to order Simply Rugged holsters for my 3" J frame, and 3" K frame.
 
How you dress will factor into your holster choice. Some of the OWB holsters suggested sit pretty low on the belt. That means you need to wear something fairly long over them. Otherwise, just reaching for something on the supermarket shelf, will scare the little old lady behind you, and maybe lose your permit too, depending on your state.
 
Let me be the third person on this thread to extol the virtues of Simply Rugged. These are superb holsters, tough, comfortable, and inexpensive. Their basic Sourdough Pancake model will cost in the neighborhood of $65, they deliver quickly, and the workmanship is near perfect. I have two of them, one for my 2" Model 64 and my 2 1/2" Model 19, and another for my 4" Model 27.
 
You can check out my line. I carry a Model 66-1 2.5", Model 10 2" and 686 2.5" all the time in one of my The Slide OWB holsters.

Srigs, I have one of your holsters for my S&W Model 15. I am very pleased with it. This is a very comfortable way to carry a concealed 6-shot revolver.

No IWB for me.

It's Simple

I finally got a picture of my Simply Rugged holster. Thought I'd attach it.

I have this for a 3" J frame and highly recommend the style. Here it is in the K frame size in 3 slot, allowing a crossdraw option. They also offer 2 slot for strong side with a good forward cant and high and tight fit. Works with belts up to 1 3/4, the wider the better.
