It may take months to get the correct equipment
(It may take a couple of months for a craftsman to make
a holster that actually fits your pistol) or to have a
gunsmith modify your pistol to actually fit your hand
by reshaping the grip and moving the trigger to accommodate
the length of your index finger,
so get started immediately if you intend to attend.
