I might be needing one as well. I was thinking Keppler or looking for a leather belt at Wal Mart.

I picked up a close-enough at Target. The size range was nice,too. It works as a gunbelt AND a normal belt.

Sure. This is Lee Keppler's site.

I tried going to the gunbelt page, which didn't work, but I know Lee sells them still. You can see his price list here. The gunbelt is $55 and it includes a whip holder. No idea whether they're the best option out there, but it's one possibility.

EDIT: Oh, here we go. This is the gunbelt page.

You have to give Lee a call to order from him. He's a great guy and I'd reccomend him anytime. I just talked to him on Friday and ordered a whipholder from him.

My gunbelt is a belt from CC Filson Co.

I replaced the buckle with one I already had to make it SA, but Todd sells his buckles seperatly if you want one from him. The Filson belt is really high quality leather, and though it is expensive, it will last and last and last. I wear it as my everyday pants belt. It even has the groove around the edge.

I've decided to go with the Raiders belt from the Whip Studio.

Good choice, I just got an e-mail from Gery saying my gunbelt would ship tomorrow.

I will show some pictures when I get it. I was looking for another gunbelt, one that was going to hold my whip in place so it does not fall on the hard concrete. Can't believe Todd's is out of gunbelts, I got some web belts from him that should be getting here shortly as well. Good choice on a gunbelt Thousand Truths.

When did you order the belt? I'm trying to figure out what their turn around time is.

Tandy leather belt kit! $15.99 with a 50% off coupon brings it down to below $7.00. Went to Goodwill and bought a belt for $1.00 that had a metal belt retainer. Destroyed the Goodwill belt and transferred the metal retainer to the new belt!

I ordered I a week ago from yesterday, Gery said he has been behind a bit, but he is sending it out priority mail so it should not take long to get here. Did you guys just order recently?? I would give him an e-mail if your worried about it, I guess about a week wait till it ships then maybe.

Just an FYI, I have gunbelts in stock. The website hasn't been updated since 2004 so the price is now $60.00. Good leather has gone up since 04, but the increase is less than a trip to Starbucks. If I'm out of a size, I can have it in a few days, as my belts are made locally. The rivited on whipholder has a one way snap allowing you to coil the whip very tightly so it won't slip. The snap will not pop open from the inside!
