OP, the first best thing you can do is find the nearest match, even if it's a local action, and jump in. For USPSA, Production Division is your best bet because it's scored all minor. Wilderness Tactical belt, BladeTech holster, at least 5 single mag pouches (only 2 allowed for IDPA) and electric ears, you are good to go. Check with the match director first as some clubs require a safety class before you are allowed to shoot.

Now is you really are fixed on a drop leg holster or appendix*** (and wonder why everyone is looking at you funny) it can be worn in USPSA Open, Limited or Limited 10 Divisions, as holster position is not restricted. Drop legs are not faster to draw from.... and those divisions are all scored Major, and you would be shooting a Minor power floor, which means you only get half the available points for Bs,Cs and Ds as Major.

Competition shooting is 99% shooter ability and 1% gun and gear. So the 1% that counts on your gun is better sights, like Dawson Precision, Taran Tactical or Heinies, and decide if you want to roll with black on black, or a fiber optic front. Then put in a 3.5 OEM connector, and a $19 magwell. That's it for the gun. Then take competition shooting lessons from a USPSA Grand Master and get the fundamentals down: stance, grip, sight picture and trigger control, moving on to transitions and movement. And after all that, prepare to be humbled.....

*** not allowed in IDPA.
