Funny you said chest plates….I had a company (i forget the name right now but I book marked it) pop up my feed last night and I was looking at their setups and battle belts. Any quality brand you recommend? Also I saw the different tiers of ballistic proof and would pay the extra for lighter/higher tier…but some of them only had like 1 year shelf life?? Only one with a decent shelf life was steel at 5 yr.
for now I can hold off on the plate insert and just outfit the rig to store my essentials.

Chest rigs and plate carriers are two pretty different approaches, so depends what you're interested in. Some people like to run slick plate carriers (slick as in nothing attached to it) and then wear a chest rig over it, sort of like a hybrid between the two.
I personally only run a chest rig. Based on my location and game plan, I value maneuverability over protection. If I had a group of dudes that I trained regularly with I'd get a plate carrier. I don't really like the idea of a slick PC and chest rig, I'd rather have two dedicated platforms. I don't have a helmet but I consider that tied to a plate carrier. If I'm rocking plates, I'm definitely rocking a ballistic helmet.
There are a lot of really good companies out there and most will probably serve you well. I'm personally a big fan of Spiritus Systems and my entire chest rig set up is SS. They make plate carriers as well. They're most known for their modularity and that really allows the user to dial in their kit to them. You purchase every component separately to get what you want. SS was founded by 10th Mountain infantry dudes after they started customizing kit for themselves in Afghanistan and really blew up from there. Ferro Concepts is another good company.
Here's my chest rig, all SS components except the three front magazine inserts which are Esstac kywis.

It is harder to get hits with in double action. But I'm sure you are aware that you can also operate the firearm in single action mode. And I'm also sure you're aware that most people don't get into "Miami Vice" style shootouts where they have to reload. Hell, the odds of actually having to use your firearm are astronomical. The odds are even higher that you'll have to reload. The main concern here statistically is NDs by casual firearm owners that don't train with their weapons on a constant ongoing basis.
Don't do that
I would love to see the stats that show an ND is more likely than a defensive gun use. By all means, make with the stat.
PS: If ND's are what you're worried about, suggesting cocking a revolver into single action is fukking retarded with a capital R

I'm a Surefire fanboi, but I've been digging my Cloud Rein 2.0s a lot so far. If I was going to get a new light I'd try the brand new Rein 3.0 they just dropped.
If you don't already have this, then after the light I'd get a chest rig or plate carrier set up. After that you could look at a battle belt. Most people seem to get the belts first but for a rifle based kit belts are not at all necessary.
Most important here is to get proper training.

Also in my experience, casual gun owner is not likely to buy a large quantity of their SD ammo to run through the gun for reliability testing. This is not an issue for a wheelgun. A revolver can handle any bullet shape, and for the physically weak, you don't have to worry about lighter loads failing to cycle the action/limp wristing. You also don't have to worry about dexterity of racking the slide.

Some of those things are true of a revolver, but saying you get over the long heavy physically difficult trigger pull by having the untrained female noob who can't remember how to work a gun cock it into single action for self tells me everything I need to know.

but on the subject of revolver vs semi auto, i would not recommend a revolver over a semi auto for self defense for the reason that revolvers have a very heavy trigger pull, limited magazine capacity and are very slow to reload. gas escaping between the cylinder and the barrel can also cause injury. a reliable semi auto 9mm is always going to be more tactically capable than a revolver. you cant go wrong with a glock 19 or 17, but there are lots of other options that are just as good. keep it full mag, round in the chamber and in a holster at all times. make sure the girl isnt a dumb bimbo like my ex also…

Good morning Gentleman.
Checked out Gillette yesterday to do an interview for a drivetrain position within my company to transfer to. Hopefully I'll hear back soon. Gillette has 3 outdoor ranges and a good amount of stores to shop at for firearms. It would be nice to start doing some outdoor shooting for long range. I still need to try out that .22LR conversion in my AR too.
