The Sparks Mirage www.miltsparks.com is a superb example of this genre. My good friend Rick Miller frequently uses a Sparks Mirage.
Lou Alessi used to make a holster that was worn in this manner and it garnered favorable notice from no less an authority than Jeff Cooper. Lou no longer offers this holster.
Mitch Rosen offers a couple holsters of this type.
There is much to recommend this type of holster. They pull the pistol in tight against one's side like an IWB, but are more comfortable. Well made examples stay open when the pistol is withdrawn, thus facilitating one-handed reholstering. Their disadvantages are few. They require a longer covering garment than does an IWB holster. They can cause the belt to stand off slightly from the trousers just in front of the holster. Badly placed trouser belt loops can play havoc with placing the holster properly.
