Fantastic workmanship and excellent quality. Ordered shoulder holsters, belt ,ammo belt, auto mags and all fit perfect right out of the box. He followed my instructions to a T . I doubt if you will find another craftsman better than him. Thanks so much. Carl
The Old97 surpasses expectations once again. Excellent communication throughout the whole process and he went above and beyond where the particular "Oxblood" colour I was looking for was achieved.
The order was sipped and received within a week. The holster I bought fits my revolver perfectly, and the quality and craftsmanship are much better than i expected.
Rick's work is definitely one of the kind. He would fullfill all of you requirements. Aslo very quick production and shippment. A+++++ seller on this platform. His work is highly recommended! Thank you !
Rick is one of the best in the business every question I had he answered I am really picky and didn't really know what I wanted but after talking to Rick through email and then on the phone the man put my vision together cant wait to get more work done from him thanks again Rick
Honestly one of the best dudes I’ve ever dealt with for anything period. Knows his stuff, very thorough, reasonable prices and an upfront courteous fellow to boot. Made me a stock wrap for a Marlin Trapper. Incredible workmanship. A made in Canada gem. Thanks Rick. Already thinking on what I want built next.
Received a P226 holster from Rick, the quality and fit was second to none, he even sent me a maintenance and care guide for the leather. Outstanding member, highly recommend, and now I have inquired about future projects.
Rick made me a shotgun belt and loading strip. Exactly what I wanted! Beautiful, beautiful work. Rick made the process very easy, quick turn-around, but absolutely no sacrifice to quality of work. Thanks for the pointers on leather care Rick.
Absolutely stunning craftsmanship! I had a buscadero rig made for my Schofield and it exceeded all of my expectations. Rick's work is stellar and you will not regret working with him for your holster.
What an awesome experience. Rick is a true artisan who walked me through all options, made fantastic suggestions and the outcome is a buscadero rig that will last a lifetime that exceeded all of my expectations.
I can't recommend his work, and business ethic enough. A true gentleman, who I recommend without mental reservation of any kind.
He did it again !! I had a project in mind talked to Rick and he made it physically appear. He's a wizard with leather. Timing/shipping all good as well. 5 stars
This guy is the Vincent Van Gogh of leatherwork. Absolutely frickin flawless, and he’s Canadian!! Asked him to do a very custom holster and belt for my Magnum Research BFR. Stunning work. Latin phrasing and my “Mark of the Doomslayer” were done to perfection!! Mr. Lawler your work should be in a museum till the end of time. Bloody Brilliant!! Thank you
I recently had a custom rig made up by Rick, a Texas Jockstrap Holster and matching belt for my 7-1/2" Pietta. WOW!! The quality & workmanship are outstanding, the Pietta fits like a glove! I'm very happy with the results and hiighly recommend this Canadian craftsman. I definitely will order more custom rigs in the future. Thanks again, Rick! WB
Beautiful professional work on leather. Received it fast and package came with a thank you note and instruction on how to care for it. Seller really takes time to make sure buyer is satisfied with the purchase. I will surely buy again.
If I could give this member 10 stars, it would not be enough! Best customer service I have had in decades. He made me 2 custom deep brown holsters, a Johnny Ringo style holster for my 7.5 inch 44 Mag Ruger Vaquero and a holster for my 44 Mag Desert Eagle. Holsters are top quality and in-lined. The leather work is top notch, he is friendly to deal with and very thorough in his meticulous attention to detail making sure he provides 110% customer satisfaction. The leather work is incredibly talented! A+++ Thanks again!
Just received the latest holster Rick made for me, a custom job for a modified Beretta 92. I showed him a picture of something similar to what I wanted, we discussed the details and options, and he took it from there. Once again, more than just being satisfied with it, I was amazed to see it turned out even better than I had pictured. It was a bit of a tricky job, and I especially appreciated that he took the time to meet before putting the final touches on to ensure everything was just right. I also can't say enough about the value - far better quality and craftsmanship than a similar factory item, but at a very competitive price.
Highly recommend getting your leather work done with Rick. Excellent quality and craftsmanship. A pleasure to deal with. The holster and belt i ordered from him are exactly what i was hoping for. Won't hesitate to recommend him to anyone.
Just received the scabbard for my Winchester 1897. Absolutely beautiful construction and looks beautiful. Terrific value considering the extremely high quality.
Rick is amazing guy I saw a rig he had posted online and asked about modification to that particular rig. He clearly takes pride in his work as instead he built me two custom rigs that better suited my needs. His work is certainly something to be proud of! Amazing craftsmanship, great guy to talk to everything was done clearly and concisely. The whole order arrived quickly and was packed really well. I will admit to enjoying his product so much that my girlfriend caught me strapping on the rig in my pjs before bed hahaha
Just received my second holster made by The Old97, and couldn't be more pleased. Sent him some photos and had a conversation about what I had in mind, and he executed it perfectly - it was even better than what I imagined. Fits great, functions great, and looks great - what more can you ask for? As a bonus, he is also a prompt and effective communicator, and gets the work done in a very reasonable amount of time. Highly recommended.
I just have to say thank you Rick and Deb for making a beautiful holster for me I like it so much I’m gonna have you make me another one thanks again for the great quality and workmanship that went into this holster. I can’t say it enough I highly recommend this guy‘s work great communication and and shipping was fast looking forward to my next holster.
Rick is a true craftsman. Would highly recommend his services to anyone. He was able to customize a belt to match a holster of his, and I can’t speak positively enough about the result. Thanks again Rick, and all the best!
Got a custom gunbelt & holsters made for my two S&W Schofield No. 3's (7" & 5" models). Looks perfect, quality leather work. Results were beyond my expectations. Fits the guns perfectly, even though he did not have the pistols when he made the holsters. Am very happy with it. Was done in less than a week. Much better work than other gunbelts & holsters I have bought online from USA.
We are now talking about my next order. Might be a scabbard for my Bowie knife, or maybe another gunbelt.
Excellent quality leather work. Inquired about getting a sling made and was delivered to me in less than a week. Product was way above my expectations. Will order from him again
