Ritchie Leather Co., Inc.

ritchie-logoRitchie Leather, headed by Charles (Skip) Ritchie and his brother Bob, is one of our leading premier custom holster makers. Skip, a prodigy and business partner of Lou Alessi for 12 years from 1984-1996, worked with Louie during his last year of life. It rekindled his love for making holsters and led to the founding of the Ritchie Leather Co. Inc. with his brother Bob. The Ritchie brothers operate their business out of the former Alessi shop on Niagara Falls Blvd. in Amherst, NY which holds many fond memories for all that knew Louie.

Bodyguard Shoulder Holster

Back by popular demand is one of the best shoulder rigs ever crafted. Originally offered in the mid 80’s by Louie Alessi who crafted the harness and Skip Ritchie who designed the mag carriers. This rig is easy to put on and take off once the straps are adjusted — like putting on a favorite sports coat. Extremely well balanced when carrying firearm and mag(s). Offered with dual or single mag carrier and thumb break or pull thru snap. The pull thru snap is not offered for Glocks or other pistols which have a similar trigger safety.

We do special orders — If you do not see it here then call us and let us know the firearm, single or dual mag carrier, thumb break, pull thru snap, color, and left or right hand.
