         2 . The adaptor kit assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein said trigger guard adaptor comprises a forward member configured to be placed over an outer forward surface of the trigger guard, and said forward member is shaped to complement a shape of the outer forward surface of the trigger guard. 
     
     
         3 . The adaptor kit assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein said trigger guard adaptor comprises a forward member configured to be placed over an outer forward surface of the trigger guard, and said forward member curves outwards towards the firing direction of the handgun. 
     
     
         4 . The adaptor kit assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein said trigger guard adaptor comprises a forward member configured to be placed over an outer forward surface of the trigger guard, and said forward member is longer than the outer forward surface of the trigger guard and comprises an end that includes a rearwardly facing tab that snaps or fits over an end of the trigger guard. 
     
     
         5 . The adaptor kit assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein said trigger guard adaptor comprises a forward member configured to be placed over an outer forward surface of the trigger guard, and said forward member extend inwards and sideways from a body portion of said trigger guard adaptor, and a rear member also extends inwards and sideways from said body portion and is spaced rearwardly from said forward member, wherein a gap between said forward member and said rear member is sized so that a thickness of a front portion of the trigger guard fits in between said forward member and said rear member. 
     
     
         6 . The adaptor kit assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein said trigger guard adaptor is constructed of two halves. 
     
     
         7 . The adaptor kit assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein said trigger guard adaptor comprises a receiver portion that extends upwards from a shelf portion that extends sideways and outwards from a body portion of said trigger guard adaptor. 
     
     
         8 . The adaptor kit assembly according to  claim 1 , further comprising a rear beavertail adaptor configured for coupling to a rear portion of a receiver of the handgun. 
     
     
         9 . The adaptor kit assembly according to  claim 8 , wherein said rear beavertail adaptor comprises sidewalls, a rear wall and a beavertail that extends rearwards from said rear wall. 
     
     
         10 . The adaptor kit assembly according to  claim 1 , further comprising a pistol brace assembly that comprises handgun mounting structure, which comprises a receiver support shelf, upon which a receiver of the handgun is mountable, and a trigger guard abutment member, wherein when said trigger guard adaptor is coupled to the front portion of the trigger guard, said trigger guard adaptor is abuttable against said trigger guard abutment member. 
     
     
         11 . The adaptor kit assembly according to  claim 8 , further comprising a pistol brace assembly that comprises handgun mounting structure, which comprises a receiver support shelf, upon which a receiver of the handgun is mountable, and a trigger guard abutment member, wherein when said trigger guard adaptor is coupled to the front portion of the trigger guard, said trigger guard adaptor is abuttable against said trigger guard abutment member, and when said rear beavertail adaptor is coupled to the rear portion of the receiver of the handgun, a portion of said rear beavertail adaptor is received in a groove formed in said pistol brace assembly.
