Well... I've done some more work, and decided that I really need a LOT more practice, and may NEVER get adequate at checkering... let alone "good"!
Here's the left panel as finished, with the pattern (which I didn't really use for a reference until it was too late:
And what I've got done so far on the right panel:
Since the state championship is coming up, and I'm sorta tired of just carrying my magazines in my back pocket or using an old duty type snap covered mag holders, I ordered two new rigs... Both with 2 double mag holders and a combination shotshell/rifle round belt slide, for "just-in-case!" The first to arrive should look like a lighter version of this rig:
The other rig will be very similar, with slight differences, the chief among which will the rake of the gun:

Here's a pic of the rig I ordered but with the rake above:

In fact, both rigs should be about the color of the bottom rig in this pic.
The rigs are by two different makers, one in FL the other in TX. The guy in FL had a lull in his schedule and the rig should be finished next week. The other wasn't quite so free, but has committed to finishing up by the 16th, so I can have it the 20th in time for the match. I'm planning on using one rig, and my son the other...
And that discussion might be as heated as to who is going to use what gun!!! Lookin' forward to gettin' home, trying out the rigs, loadin' some additional ammo, and if my luck holds, a couple of days of practice. I know I won't win anything for my shootin'... but another clean match pin would be great!!!
