Join IDPA and look for a classifier match to shoot.

Your Sig would work just fine in Stock Service Pistol Class (or in "Production" class in USPSA/IPSC)

Buy decent equipment. One of the posters recommended kydex gear from Blade Tech or Comp Tac and I think that's a fine recommendation. I have holsters from both places and have been pleased with them.

Get a good quality leather gun belt to properly support your holsters & mag pouches, and some kind of concealment garment. Many IDPA matches are shot from concealment (but not the classifier match)

Read the discussion on this forum above called "Name one thing you learned at your last match".

The Brian Enos shooting forum has a section devoted to IDPA shooting.

There is a specific IDPA forum that you can find on the net that also has good information.

Shoot safe and have fun!!
