Upside down shoulder holster for a SW Model 19 W/2 1/2″ barrel?
Bob S A asked:
I had one years ago when I was on a city PD. It was comfortable and very easy to conceal the fairly large model 19. The holster itself was leather and the straps were nylon.

Based on the description you provided, I'm guessing that you are talking about the Bianchi Lightning 9R. It was an upside down shoulder holster that had a leather holster with nylon straps. The holster could be removed from the carrier and worn as a belt holster. Unfortunately, Bianchi stopped making that model years ago. However, you can still find one here and there. I have one for my S&W J Frame and really like it. You might also want to check out Ken Null holsters as he makes an upside down model for revolvers as well. Try looking here for a 9R:

I remember the one you are talking about well. It was made by Safariland and many other manufacturers in the mid 1970′s thru the mid 1980′s, and it sold for about $35 at the time. Unfortunately, those days are long gone, all Safariland is making these days is hard and inflexible polymer holster
