I ground my faith upon Jesus Christ, and by Him I steadfastly believe to be saved, as is taught in the Catholic Church through all Christendom, and promised to remain with Her unto the world's end, and hell gates shall not prevail against it: and by God's assistance I mean to live and die in the same faith; for if an angel come from heaven, and preach any other doctrine than we have received, the Apostle biddeth us not to believe him. Therefore, if I should follow your doctrine, I should disobey the Apostle's commandment.
-St. Margaret Clitherow, while in prison

Colt 1911A1 is my choice. (I'd take a Remington, Kimber, Springfield Armory, etc, too)  There's a whole lot to be said for something that's been in continuous production for 100 years. You can tear it down to the last piece for cleaning with nothing more than a screwdriver. Plus, the ergonomics are great, mine fits my hand just perfect. |

My vote is for the AK. Versatile, reliable, rugged and just as accurate as any other currently fielded rifle when built properly. The picture below is the exact model that I currently posses and it is my go-to-gun. It's chambered in 5.56 and hold its own against ARs (in terms of accuracy) all day and more reliable to boot.  |

 Would you please spare an AVE for my deceased Aunt Elizabeth who left us on July 16th 2010? May God reward you."Know this: it is by very little breaches of regularity that the devil succeeds in introducing the greatest abuses. May you never end up saying: 'This is nothing, this is an exaggeration' ... I would give up my life a thousand times, not only for each of the truths of Sacred Scripture, but even more for the least of the rubrics and ceremonies of the Catholic Church."+ St. Therese of Avila +"The person who does not become irate when he has cause to be sins. For an unreasonable patience is the hotbed of many vices.+ St. John Chrysostom |

Most impresive individual infantry weapon is easily the XM25  My favorite is Barbie for men  But if I had ever used it....the XM25 would be my favorite. My favorite dream weapon is the H&K UMP .45  |

The Roman short sword( Gladius) probably sent more men to the Elysian Fields than any weapon in history. http://civilianmilitaryintelligencegroup.com/?p=5089 |

To defend oneself, one must also be ready to die. There is little such readiness in a society raised in the cult of material well-being. Nothing is left, then, but concessions, attempts to gain time, and betrayal.
