Probably start out with only one Holster for a 686 SSR and would like your suggestions regarding a good Holster that would work for a "newbie" who wants to try the IDPA Shooting and would like to, if possible, use it also as a "general purpose" holster.

In the old days I would have automatically looked at a Bianchi Leather but not having been a shooter for these past 25 years, I'm not clear on what is popularly used these days and the whole IDPA thing will be an all new experience for me.
Don't even know if IDPA has specific rules on what is and what is not permitted ... but, I'd really like a "General Purpose" model.
I'll never be a big competitor in IDPA, that will really be just for Personal Satisfaction and plain old simple FUN.
Thanks
