Ritchie Leather Co., Inc.

Lightning Arms Sports Inc. welcomes Charles (Skip) Ritchie aboard as one of our premier custom holster makers.  Skip, a prodigy and business partner of Lou Alessi for 12 years from 1984-1996, worked with Lou during his last year of life which rekindled his love for making holsters and led to the recent formation 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, N.Y. which holds many fond memories for all that knew Lou.
