Ritchie leather Company

Anyone have any good experience with or know anything about their products? Picked up this one for my PM9:

Got a smokin' deal on it, but was just curious if anyone has any feedback on them.

[JFootin]

No. We are waiting for feedback from you! :D It looks like they are fairly new to the game, but tutored under Lou Alessi, so that's impressive.

[MLESa7990]

Well then, I guess I'll be back with some feedback when I get it and try it out.

Looks to be a solid, comfortable piece.

Never heard of them before but a visit to the site suggests they make a very high quality product.

[JFootin]

Yeah, it looks like good work. I'm sure you will enjoy it.

Feedback?? Thinking of buying one.

AC7880, I have a Ritchie leather holster as well as an Alessi holster and can not tell the difference between the two holsters. I like them, do not hesitate to buy.

Is it the PCH and Stakeout model you have? I am leaning towards ordering the Ritchie Stakeout by Monday.

Thanks!

I have a belt scabbard and a Close Quarters Quick Release.

Thank you for the feedback. I think I'll place a Ritchie order next week.

Today I ordered the Ritchie Stakeout for my Kahr K9, which is the same holster as an Alessi PCH aka Professional Carry Holster. Ritchie direct is $140 unknown delivery time.

Lightning Arms had one in stock in black right hand carry for $150, plus $15 shipping. Rather than wait I ordered from them today.

I had a TJM Horseshoe leather holster since 1999. I liked that it is very thin and the magazine holder never sheds any rounds (form fitting). I did not like the elastic belt with velcro - too flimsy and stretchable. I used the hoster as a pocket holster, and "Mexican Style" with no attachment, and sometimes with belt clip "CV" with velcro on it. http://www.holsters.org/deepconceal-holster.htm

For the past month I have been carrying in a Remora 3C holster, leather lined with sweat shield. It's ok, and stays in place well. http://www.remoraholsterstore.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=Series-3C I'm starting to like it a bit more each day.

I just want to try a high end holster, and research has led me to the Ritchie Stakeout- ships Monday.

I may sell one or two excess holsters after I try the Remora and Ritchie back to back this winter. Or I may keep all three since I want to buy a P9 or CW9 for a bit lighter carry than the K9 next time I am in my home state of SD (full time RV traveler- don't make it back to SD very often). I will "probably" keep the K9 as well if I do that.

You won'tt go wrong with Ritchie. I have an original Alessi CQC-S and a Ritchie equivalent. I cannot tell a different on quality and craftsmanship between the 2. Skip Richie is Lou's protege, and IMO, the new (current) Alessi has less quality than Ritchie -- I have a Watch-6, it is not crafted as same as the "original Lou's".

Top is Ritchie. Bottom is Alessi:
