So she was skillful and maybe overly confident and the holster being not right for the gun was not clear before the incident because nobody checked?

DUNBARTON — A Concord attorney accidentally shot herself in the leg while attending a firearms course yesterday.
Penny Dean was not hurt badly when she fired her handgun while attempting to put it in a gun holster she was wearing.
Dean was taking an advanced shooting course offered by the Concord-based Lethal Force Institute at the Pioneer Sportsmen shooting range on Clinton Street when the accident happened shortly before 2 p.m. yesterday.
“Miss Dean was holstering a handgun, at which point the weapon discharged and fired a bullet into her left leg,” said Dunbarton police officer Christopher Connelly. Police determined the shooting was accidental after a brief investigation at the pistol range.
Dean was wielding a 10mm Glock Model 29 automatic handgun, which is popular with both men and women, according to Lethal Force shooting instructor Massad Ayoob. She was among five students involved in a five-day firearms course.
Ayoob described Dean as a “very skillful and confident gun handler.” He said she was using a holster that was not right for the gun and said that it was not immediately obvious to the instructor prior to the accident.
Ayoob said it was the first such accident in his 23 years as a firearms instructor.
Dean had taken previous firearms instruction from the Lethal Force Institute prior to the advanced training she was involved in yesterday, according to Ayoob.
Dean was taken by ambulance to Concord Hospital, where she was treated and released.
