Of the 3 guns, your Beretta will be the most appropriate and competitive in either sport in the correct division.

While you can get away with any of the guns as a new shooter for the first time, the ported barrel on the SA does not work in IDPA and would place you against race guns in USPSA. The compact Glock just is not as competitive as the Beretta will be.

The Beretta, being a heavier gun and shooting 9mm, will get you back on target faster and due to the longer site plane, should be more accurate. Remember that the name of the game is speed and accuracy.
