Richie had no problem using anything he could get his hands on either! When he assaulted Beansie Gaeta in his pizzeria, he smashed a coffee pot on his face and broke a chair over his head, too.
I'm not saying Ralphie was a pansy. FAR from it! Ralphie was a crazy bastard who could hurt people, too. But Richie seemed a bit tougher/meaner than Ralphie. And don't forget, Richie was toughened up by a decade in prison, too!
