Pocket holsters are not allowed in IDPA.
You must draw from a strong side holster, IWB, paddle, or belt.
You will not likely hot holster during a stage but you should still use a holster that does not get you in a position to sweep your hand or body while holstering in the first place at the Load And Make Ready command.
If you have a standard size service pistol and a plain holster for it, you will do better and have less stress from your equipment... the Course of Fire requirements will provide enough of that. This is a shooting match, not a "defensive situation" gunfighting academy. Some people shoot their carry guns for the practice but I think you should save the real deal carry gun exercises for after you have some experience.
