I "compete" with my carry gun/holster/everyday dress because my local range does not otherwise permit a holster draw on the line. The only other difference is a double OWB mag pouch vs velcro backed double mag pouch in a velcro lined cargo pocket.

Ok he wants to compete with his carry gear, then why doesn't he shoot USPSA? Unlike IDPA, there is a division in USPSA that you can use your carry gear in. You may not have the most optimal equipment for your division, but if competing in your carry gear is that important, that shouldn't matter. If winning is important, then yes you have to go full gamer.
Just because IDPA, and USPSA Production/Single Stack doesn't allow your carry gear doesn't mean that you can't shoot in limited, limited 10, or open (for the people running red dots). Hell I think you can even use lasers in open, though I might be wrong.
Ernest is shooting and carrying a P30.
He specifically mentioned that he might shoot Limited 10 minor just to stay in it.
So does that mean that AIWB is permitted in USPSA?
I've had a look through the rule book and appendices and couldn't find anything other than no holsters & mag pouches forward of the hip bone.
I've been looking to get into a shooting sport but want to use my carry gear. Any help with my weak search-fu would be appreciated. Thanks!

Production and Singlestack division require a holster behind the hip. All other divisions are open season...

I shoot IPSC Limited (classified B) with my daily carry 9mm P2000 and concealed (t-shirt) leather AIWB holster.
I shoot our local "Outlaw" CCW matches with either my P2000 or my P2000Sk using my daily carry gear.
The only gear change I make on occasion is I use a kydex mag carrier instead of my leather mag carrier to save wear and tear on my carry gear.
Horizontal mag carriers are very dependent on tension and hard sweaty range use of a leather carrier tends to loosen it up over time.

Carry a g19 everyday that I can (college student) with trijicon sights as my only mod.
I shoot the same gun in IDPA, with the same kytex gear mag pouches. I don't wear a vest because I'm not ghey. I shoot like I carry, 3 o'clock owb with a polo as my "cover" garment. I've never been made in public, and the guys I shoot with know this is how I carry.
USPSA I shoot production or ltd 10 with a g17. I use the same kytex mag pouches just more of them. I use a Bladetech stingray holster. G17 has defoor's sights on it, when I shoot ltd 10 I put a ICE magwell just for shits and gets.
I'll be shooting single stack next year in USPSA. I'll have to get creative with mag pouches, but I'll likely use a bladetech stingray for a holster.

We carry Glock 17s at work, and I carry G19s off-duty generally, so I either use my duty rig and my G17 or my IWB holster off-duty gear and my G19 to run in IDPA or IPSC shoots.
For when we do BUG gun courses I use my BUG, a S&W 642.
