I've been looking at pancake cross-draw holsters (as fallback) while I assemble a shoulder holster with harness that distributes the weight of my Ruger SP101 three-inch with 158-grain bulleted cartridges more comfortably.

In the past when I would be trying revolvers and holster positions, I would insert revolver barrel between pant and belt, sometimes just shoving revolver barrel
inside the waistband.

Has anyone tried/bought an IWB holster for revolvers having three-four inch barrels where the cylinder is above the belt similar to a [Buckheimer] semi-shoulder holster's position? What I mean is that the "inside the waistband" part of the revolver is its barrel. Not knowing a great deal about making holsters, I imagine holster would require belt loops and perhaps a thin rigid plate to maintain holster's position when worn.

I have been thinking about making a IWB--barrel rig for a while. Just relying on the tension will not keep it secure. Rather a " shield " will have to go up towards the cylinder, and flair out a bit to have belt loops attached. And also the strap to keep the gun secure.

Thank you,
 
You are looking for the T-rex by Purdy.

Carries in the shoulder position without the shoulder rig. Awesome.

Friend who rides his motorcycle much of the year was looking for a shoulder harness .. Would this be suitable for riding .. concealing under a leather jacket or vest in the summer ?

Does the holster have a stiffener in it to keep it from flopping against one's side ?? It appears to be very well made ..
 
It might, but Applegate seemed to like it. I think a high-ride crossdraw might be the ticket here.
