A smooth, consistent, efficient draw that you have repeated tens of thousands of times with a perfect sight picture and dry fire from a $20 holster will allow you to out-score and out-pace 99.9% of your competition.
When you get to the professional shooter competition level, a $200 race-holster might help give you that 0.01 second edge you need to squeak a win on a clean vs. clean stage shoot-off.
The other thing you have to keep in mind is that the vast majority of us who are involved in competitive shooting are doing it to refine our skills for self-defense purposes. If that's the case for you, practice what you carry and carry what you practice. Since I have no intention of ever open-carrying an open-front race-holster I will never practice or compete with one.
Instead, I practice and compete with my Serpa, which is what I carry on the street.

Yeah, those are the fancy full-blown race-holsters I alluded to earlier. I honestly don't think very many of us are consistent enough to take advantage of the 0.01 to 0.10 second difference those offer over a serpa.
