If you want body armor i have an extra Class IIIA (will stop 240gr .44 magnum) vest i will sell you cheap (assuming it's legal to own where you are). It's a safariland and is designed to be worn under your shirt. I'll include a standard white carrier with it too.

I have 2, only need one.

There are about a gillion suitable handguns, what you pick depends on what best fits your hand, your budget, and your training.
