As for OWB holsters for J-frames (is that what you are carrying?) there are any number of quality leather and synthetic holsters that are not much bigger than the J-frame itself. It is not necessary that you take up twice the size of the revolver with an OWB pancake holster.
Unless you are facing this http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=19897&highlight=nudist+camp WARNING: probably NSFW and guaranteed NSFFamily. ADDITIONAL WARNING: Major Beverage Alert!! you should have no problems OC-ing IWB even with "love handles" as long as you consider a change of holster location from right underneath them. (A little creativity helps - so long as it does not involve duct tape .)
stay safe.

Your post beat mine above re: +1 or not +1.I have recently obtained a concealed permit. Before that, step I did much research on the laws and responsibilites of handgun ownership. I carry a little S&W hammerless .38+P. I felt I would "stir up less trouble" by carrying concealed. However, the va. eatery and alcohol laws leave me in quandry. My weapon is so small, I risk concealing it with my love handles!:lollus it is such a small arm, it looks kinda silly in abig leather holster. I hate leaving it in the car. I may join forces with you folks but I am still a bit hesitant. There is great info here at OCDO and I wish to thank many of the posters for your insight and experience. I'll be lurking.
