Hi,

I am John Ralston, and 5 SHOT LEATHER. Every item that leaves the shop is hand crafted by myself, and I take great pride in each and every piece. My goal is to provide each customer with a piece of equipment that is a great value and one that they can be proud to wear. I strive to use the best materials available, so that a superior product can be expected.

As you browse my web site, you may see exactly what you are after, but if you don't, just ask. I am more than happy to create a truly custom piece to your liking.

I owe a great deal to one of the greatest names (if not THE greatest) in the business - Lou Alessi. Lou has shared many, many tips, tricks and secrets of the trade, and is responsible for the quality of the work that I produce today. I could not have come this far without his help, and I am very grateful for that. I have also been influenced by the designs, craftsmanship and friendships of others in the business, including Joshua Bulman and Matt Del Fatti. I aspire to someday produce holsters that can be compared to the works of art that these three gentlemen create.

Thank you for looking,

John Ralston

John,

The web site looks great, and I wanted to thank you publicly for the very kind words you had to say about me helping you.

What little help I was able to give you wouldn't have mattered if you didn't have the talent, the passion, and the drive to stick with it, and improve your product with every holster you made.

I've seen the transition from hobbyist to professional over the last couple years, and it's been my pleasure, and honor to have had a small hand in your development, but make no mistake, you did this yourself.

I'm proud to call you a friend, and I wish you all the success you deserve.
You have 'arrived' my friend.

Lou

!	WHAT'S NEW:

2008 ~

I will have a Holster Set and Knife Sheath (pictured at left) in the March/April 2008 Issue of American Handgunner. The Set was donated for their Handgun of the Month Giveaway. It is my first National Exposure, and I wish to thank Heirloom Precision and American Handgunner's Roy Huntington for this great opportunity!

The IBS is now available (and is likely to have 4 versions). There will be a Standard Ride and a Low Ride, both with Sewn Loops and your choice of loops sewn under or on top - this is Jason Burton's Preference, and it does have some merrit in additional stability. The artisan in me likes the looks of sewn under, and I may actuall be able to increase the stability without having to have the loops on top.

I have added a few rigs to the Gallery, so take a look if you have not been there in a while.

Thanks,

John
