I found a person on Gunpost, by the name of Rick Lawler, that makes custom gunbelts, holsters, and other leather work. He is located in Winnipeg, on the west side of town.

I met up with him earlier this month, and had him make a custom rig (gunbelt & holsters) for my two (7" & 5") S&W Schofield No. 3 air pistols. He had it made from scratch in about a week. It came out real nice. Both guns fit the holsters perfectly, and he didn't need my airguns to make them. He says he has patterns for most firearms.

He does real quality leather work. At very reasonable prices.

He is a retired Army Veteran (PPCLI2).

He makes all types of holsters, gunbelts & gun leather, not just western gunbelts. Here is some of the stuff he has on Gunpost:

So, I strongly recommend him to the forum. Nice to have someone in Western Canada to do custom leather work. And to support our Veterans (we thank you for your service).

I would love to provide some pictures of the gunbelt he did for me. But I am still having problems posting photos. If some wants, please PM me with your email & I will send them to you, for posting on this topic.

He made a custom holster for my DE. I wanted a custom logo(Punisher) for it. Has an adjustable retention as well.

Yes, I have seen Murray's website from links on this forum.

Could not find prices for his work. Does one need to contact him for prices?

How do his prices compare to the ones posted on Gunpost?

Also, Murray is in Toronto, where as Rick is in Western Canada (Winnipeg). And he lives approx. 5 minutes away from me.

When I found a custom gunleather maker close to me, I jumped on the opportunity to get a custom rig for my Schofields. Hard to find holsters for Schofields.

Way more convenient for me to use someone local. And save a ton on international shipping.
