Two people I know have inside-of-your-pants (whatever they are called) holsters where the side that goes against your body goes up past where the gun ends.
Why?

Re: Holsters that go above the gun
It keeps sweat from getting on the exposed portion of the slide. The most important reason is it keeps sharp edges (ie exposed hammer) from gouging into the sensitive skin on your side. Hope that answers the question.

It's also a bit easier to reholster as it gives the muzzle something to use as a guide.
