When hunting deer, I used to carry a 6 inch model 29 in a full flap holster on a GI pistol belt. An M1 carbine mag pouch perfectly held 2 speedloaders. I liked the GI belt as it comfortably distributed the weight and it adjusted large enough to go over my hunting coveralls. The only real walking involved going to and from my deer stand. I also loved the ability to instantly and easily snap the whole rig off and on if needed.
When I was younger, in warmer weather I would carry it in a Bianchi X-15 for woods loafing or other non physical activities. Not that I did this a lot...There really is no need for a .44 magnum in Ohio for most non hunting uses and that gun got heavy quickly. There are a lot of other lighter options, even in N frames that serve the same purpose as well. The mountain guns and the 22-4 44 Spl. are what I use when I need a big bore. Otherwise K frame or semi auto.
