Well, kind of: the third iteration of the upside down holster -- first was the #9 with elastic to hold in the pistol; second the #9R mit spring; then the #9R-2 was third, which has/had in addition to the hammer guard, a pair of belt slots on BOTH sides of the holster for a trousers belt (so RH and LH). Only in 2" and 3" Chief, and 2" and 3" Colt, and 2-1/2" K frame (no Python).
You may or may not know that the B-M with a single slot, was actually meant to be worn upside down as a crossdraw on the belt. I recall the third model Bianchi had the slots angled for FBI carry so likely not ideal for the upside down on a belt carry (what a mouthful that is).
