The basic kits as they sit next to the bed...
My chest rig has a horizontal holster for the XDm .45, 3 spare pistol mags, and of course the AK-47 mags.
The Wife's vest is almost the same since we have matching XDm's, but hers has the extra shotgun ammo on it.

why are those ammos yellow ?

Like don't you have different ammos for shotguns, some that are like shrapnel and others who are precision shots ie like bullets?

20 gauge shells are yellow.
The Wife has some bad scoliosis, and she's really small. 20 works perfectly for her.
Yes, it's a mix. 3 buck and slugs of various types. Some solid lead, some copper hollow points. At short ranges, 3 buck in a 20 penetrates exactly the same distance as 00 in a 12.

Exactly. I've found a youth size 20 gauge shotguns with #2 or #3 buckshot are easy to handle, don't kick, and are more than enough to do the job at point blank ranges. I don't own a pistol to carry concealed, and don't want to.

Don't know if they're still putting it out, but ours came from the factory with a Knoxx recoil-absorbing stock, and the mag extension. Added on a rail with a pressure-switch light, and a light pipe instead of the bead.

Sweet.
