Consider Good Holster with Any Handgun Purchase

I recently purchased a Ruger SP101 revolver in .357 magnum. 

I like the gun, but I'm having a heck of a time finding a practical holster for it. 

Yesterday, I went to Hoffman's Gun Center in Newington, Connecticut to try to find a suitable holster.  I was looking for something that offers maximum concealment with a good fit.  Hoffman's had plenty of holsters, but none for the Ruger SP101.
Cabelas in East Hartford had a good selection of holsters (not as many as Hoffman's, but still a large selection), but still nothing specifically made for the Ruger SP101.

I bought a generic belt holster, and it works OK, but is far too bulky for normal carry.

I wanted to avoid ordering something without first being able to see it, but I think at this point, the internet is my only option.  I found the following websites to have a good selection of holsters:

Of course, there are others, but I found that these two have a good selection and reasonable prices.
