Do vertical shoulder holsters as described exist for 4" revolvers? I have a difficult time with hip area and would like to test an under arm rig. Seems like better retention as the wearer would just pull the arm to their chest to prevent access.

They come in a variety of sizes from the tiney "snub nose" all the way up to "THE CLINT EASTWOOD".

You can get one at El Paso Saddlery. I carry a S&W Model 10, 4" barrel,in a holster like the one linked.

You can postion the holster anyway you like, under the arm, across your chest, or anywhere in between. And Alexcabbie's right, a shoulder holster is much better when you need to use the boy's room! Pace, maybe Crockett and Tubbs had the right idea after all, for the right reason! :D

Is that holster a joke? The butt pointing down, ready to fall out and the muzzle point towards your head?

THAT is the "upside-down" shoulder holster I wrote of and it is no joke. Retention is secure, the triggger guard is completely enclosed and the weapon can be drawn with either hand very conveniently. Drawing is accomplished by a spring-loaded "clamshell" action opened by twisting the weaponto the side. I haven't seen one of these in a while, does anyone still make them?

I don't know if they're still made, but I wouldn't be comfortable carrying my handgun muzzle-up in any type of holster. I'd run with a vertical (muzzle-down) rig or one of the old government style 1911 shoulder rigs if I had to go with a shoulder rig.
