I have taken an interest lately in wearable guns--not guns carried in a holster, but guns fired while still attached to the shooter. Of course you have silly media things like the sleeve-concealed gun in "Taxi Driver", but I am curious as to any real actual examples.

A long time ago I saw some TV show about inventions during the post-WW II period. One of them was a type of gun that was worn concealed. It was a revolver-type that was worn on a harness centered on the chest underneath one's clothes. It was short enough that moderately loose clothes would conceal it. To fire it, there was a cable of some type that attached to the wrist, so that if you were robbed (presumably at gunpoint) you could put your empty hands in the air, yet face the robber and flick your wrist, and fire the gun (the bullets putting holes in your shirt). To show how it worked they had film of a demo of a "shopowner" using the gun against a "robber"--all a re-enactment of course, firing blanks. but to this day I cannot remember anything else about it, or find anything online. Anybody know? Or have any other examples?
