My opinion here is all in the field with a holster that has retention and protection over speed. On the 226 I run a Serpa. On the Glock I run a Crye copy. No tips on the IPSC cowboy stuff.

I like a holster on my chest. If you can visualize your arms as you're holding your primary and its going to go dry or just stops you just drop the primary. If it's on a one point set it to drop to the weak side, but I prefer a 2-point for this myself unless it's a tiny PDW.

So you've released the weapon but your hands are still up, as soon as it's dropped clear you bring your strong hand to your chest and grasp the pistol.

I draw and go for 2-handed with a crushing grip and start shooting when I get a flash of things lining up. I shoot with both eyes open, cross eye dominant in what is usually called the Quell stance. I will vary that by conditions and situations.

I like the idea of RDS sights on pistols but I think they're not ready yet in the world of airsoft. The IPSC stuff is too fragile for me.

The way to get good at shooting a pistol is to shoot a lot. A couple hours a day if you can. The good news about that is from people who know; if you get good with a pistol some of those skills will transfer up and improve your rifle shooting.
