Step #1: GET SOME TRAINING!!! TDSA or USSA, you have 2 excellent training groups within a short drive from your home.

I agree. Great course offered. Welcome to OSA.

Hello everyone.........I am interested in getting started into this sport. I am really interested in shooting steel. I am just wanting information on equipment, clubs, etc....I will be starting with a Glock 22 with a SS guide rod. It is the same gun that I carry on duty everyday. I want to eventually move to a limited or ESP, but I would like to shoot a couple of times before I decide anything. Thanks for everything..

I only read the first page, and decided to just quote your first post.
If your interested in shooting steel, and I'm assuming your an LEO as you stated you carry on duty.
Not a tupper ware fan
But they are a really good weapon. I shoot steel , and use optics.
I think I could be faster without optics.
But, Some stages are at a distance, and some are closer. The close ones are a challenge for optics.
I don't think there is a rule that one has to use the same gun in the competition???

I just started shooting steel, so I'm not going to be the expert on the rules.
The only thing I can say is that its fun, and thats what shooting should be.

1. Show up to a match (linked below).
2. Go shoot (bring gun, holster, mags and ammo).
3. Have fun.

Actually, go to matches of several different types: USPSA, IDPA, Steel Challenge. Each are of a slightly different flavor. If at all in doubt, remember number three above.
