With the cylinder above the belt line there will be only the barrel area with which to secure the bulk and weight of the revolver. This is likely to result in the holstered revolver tipping out from the body, making concealment far more difficult. Also, such a holster will require a thumb-break, or other retention device, to keep the handgun in the holster.
For concealed carry in a outside the waistband holster we generally use the trigger guard area to pull the holstered handgun into the body. This reduces overall profile, making concealment easier, and also provides for better retention of the weapon in the holster by applying constant tension on the handgun.
I make a modified pancake style holster with snap-loop belt attachment that is easily put on and taken off without unfastening the belt, threading the belt loops, etc. For a 2-inch barreled revolver there is only about 1.5 to 2" of the holster below the belt. Very comfortable with excellent retention and access. Available with or without thumb-break.
