Looking for something low key that would be fun to do on the weekends. Will more than likely use my existing guns and not buy any new ones(M&P 45, Glock 34, H&K .40 USP).
responding to the original poster, here's a good comparison of IDPA and USPSA/IPSC:

IMHOO, USPSA gets really expensive quicker than IDPA, and getting/maintaining the classification is harder because the standard is based on top performance, which can change. Have you looked into local "action pistol" matches? A match that is neither IDPA or USPSA (so it's fun, low key, and nothing serious), but there are still divisions so race guns won't compete against revolver.
