A pancake holster with a "gun belt" has always worked for me. I've carried four and six inch Model 29's and 629's all day with no issues.

I have always liked the original Roy Baker pancake holsters. I can carry a Model 29-5 with a six inch full under lug and silhouette front sight all day and sometimes I forget I'm carrying it.

That said, while the pancake holster distributes the weight, it is of no use without a proper supporting belt.
