LETS NOT FORGET GEORGE LAWRENCE

[crazyphil]

I have more from Lawrence than I do from Myres or Heiser.
I will have to whittle them down to my alloted 5 pictures from
left to right:

The 120 "Keith" model was probably their most successful
single action holster. Mine is shown with a Colt Cavalry replica
with 7.5" barrel.

Another 120 "Keith" with a silver arrowhead to cover up a blem.
4.75 Colt replica. The "Sidewinder" belt was a gift from Red.

34V with smooth cowhide lining and pigskin outer shell, shown
with my Model 10 with 2" barrel. The knife is a Puma Prince.

4th from left is a Lawrence field style holster and cartridge belt
with my Model 10 with 4" barrel. My carry rig when tromping
around in the Boondocks.

I think the model 34 is my favorite, and this one is my favorite
of the model 34s. FBI style, Lawrence called it "extra quick draw"
shown with my Model 19 Combat Magnum.

Colt OMT with a #502 size, #79 model quick draw.

Pre-39 with a #607 size, #1-C model "Challenger."

Trying to get more but get sidetracked or the model I find just isn't what I want.

Basketweave #34 w/dog ear for J frame.
#34 smooth for 5” M&P, thanks Phil!
#212 basketweave for 6” M&P

N Frames
#30 cross draw for 5.5” 1917
#150 laced double loop for 6” w/adjustable sight
#95 chamois lined flap holster for 6.5” fixed sight

The double loop and the flap holster came from Turnerriver, thanks John!

 

[crazyphil]

All very nice, but surely there are more Lawrences out there in S&W Land
somewhere? Dig them out and show them off.

Lawrence was a Smith & Wesson distributor and featured Smith & Wesson products in their advertising.

I don't have a picture right now but I purchased a Pre-27 6" made in 1952 that lettered to the day I was born 50 miles south of the factory. The letter stated that the gun was shipped to the George Lawrence Company of Portland, Oregon...

Looked for a Lawrence holster to carry the gun in as it didn't seem anything else would be "correct". After about a year, a new in the package Keith 120 came up for sale on ebay and I bought it... It was even marked for a 6" S&W 357 Magnum not the more common 6.5"...

So the stars must have been aligned...how else can one explain buying a gun that letters to your day of birth and finding a brand new holster that was 20 years old designed by your favorite gun writer that was for your exact model gun from the factory that the gun was shipped to...

Lawrence made their 120 for double actions also. Here's mine ( # 528 for a 6" K target ) with my K-22 in it. It's a nice holster that just seems to go with a 1952 vintage K frame. It doesn't have the sight protector block (wish it did) but otherwise it's one of my favorites.

I really like George Lawrence Holsters but I do not have any beautiful carved holsters, but I do have some that really nice Lawrence holsters.
As a young boy I loved the pictures in Stoeger's Shooter's Bible of the Lawrence Holsters. I has especially interested in the #7 shoulder holster as it was different than the normal but it was not until I got one a few years ago.

The model 100 was a quick draw flap holster that is advertised as for Revolvers only in every catalog or advertisement I have seen but I got this model 100 size 643 for a S&W model 41 with 5.5 Heavy barrel.

One of my favorite Lawrence holsters is the Keith model 120 with a Colt Scout 22 LR

 

[jimgoldth]

I did not have an example of the Lawrence C-1 Holsters that were the Lawrence answer to the Hunter Holster Line. I was able get examples from my good friend Tom. Here are 3 for Smith & Wesson Revolvers. Size #530 for 6 1/2" N Frame, #543 for 4" K Frame, and #541 for 3" J Frame.

My oldest Geo. Lawrence holster is this Model 25 size 38 6 which has been cut to 4". for a Smith & Wesson K frame that now works for a 4" vs. the original 6" barrel length.

 

[crazyphil]

I also have one that was cut down by a previous owner. He did a pretty
decent job of it. Here it is with my Model 29 4" barrel.

 

[galena]

I have a Model 100 Quick Draw for my first brand new S&W, a M-53 I bought in 1965. Still have them both.....never to be sold.

You need to dial back holster money and buy some decent head gear.

 

[nutsforsmiths]

I have 3 revolvers that shipped to George Lawrence, and I also have 2 holsters. Oh, and a cardboard shipping box with their name on it too.

Just what, in your opinion, is the problem with my head gear?

LAWRENCE 32

Here's a Lawrence that is marked 32 on the back. It fits my 31-1 but it also fits my First Model SA "Baby Russian" in 38S&W and is shown with that firearm.

 

[dave1918a2]

My GL I picked up for My K22. Only thing is it's for the Outdoorsman, not the Masterpiece. I believe somewhere around 37 - 39. Going to be for sale soon.

 

[S&W ucla]

Lawrence floral carved holster and belt. Knife sheath was made by forum member. American Classic Gunleather

 

[jimgoldth]

The Lawrence holster of mine that gets the most use is this Texas Jock Strap Model 130 with size 2 6 1/2 that fits my N frames with 6 1/2" barrels including my S&W 29-3 Custom Hunter with full under lug which is my walking in the woods / deer revolver. Gun in the picture is a Pre 27 6 1/2"

When I carry my 4006 this George Lawrence model 22 IWB size 607 fits perfectly.

My 1-C size 518 George Lawrence made for a C0lt 1911A1 fits my Ruger SR1911 just fine.
