I've been improving in IDPA using my Glock 22. 40 caliber is not ideal for the sport BUT that was my best match AND I got a lot of time / training shooting my front of the bedroom safe HD pistol.
I've since joined IDPA and I will most likely end up in a qualifier this month to set my class. The organization tries to keep a national standard 90 round scenario so that qualifying is as uniform as possible throughout the organization.
I had a SIG 250C that was a nice gun BUT the long, fairly stiff trigger made it a poor match for IDPA so I sold that, mags & holster and scratched up enough to buy a new (3G) Glock 34. It's the competition 9mm. Got it yesterday, found a good Serpa holster today (also fits my 22) and will head to the range tomorrow with some of each 9mm ammo that I have in the cave. I'll take a carry 9 along to test against. The specs on the gun are impressive as is its record in competition. I'll hope to see a slight jump in my scores - the gun will be better than me for a while.

Pics from the shoot will follow.
1) In Serpa - no Mag 2) full size G22 on right - hehe 3) extended releases X2 4) milled slide less weight 5) G22 on R - full size 40 S&W! :shock:
