I never have been able to figure out how to conceal carry a revolver on body. They may fit well in guys pants but most women's pants that I wear don't have pockets that big or that loose.

A 9x19mm sa, single stack like the Taurus Slim, the Walther PPS, the Kimber's and Kahr's are small enough to carry nicely.

If you don't mind the bulge, the double stacks like the XD 9sc or the M&P 9sc are nice to fire and a lot cheaper to practice with than .380.

Apparently it is done... here is a lady showing concealment options for women and she carries revolvers AND speedloaders.

...IWB would be easiest to conceal...back in the day a J or Colt Det. Spl. worked fine...you can carry a K frame with a good belt...for an extra shot in the Smith...good belt also for the SP-heavier than the J...lady officers also use a band on the vest for a J...at the side...a belly band under a loose shirt would do the same...appendix IWB might be most comfortable...
