Anyone else have "pet" names for their guns?

[12 Volt Man]

My Brother-In-Law call our guns by names, started as a joke, but now each new gun needs a name. Here are a few of mine.

Romanian SAR1 = Soochka (not sure on spelling) means "little bitch" in Russian

Springfield XD9 = The Croatian Sensation

Bulgarian Makarov = Nikoli

Bushmaster M4gery = G.I. Joe

Kahr K9 = Rover

-------------------------------------------------------

These are a Utah reference that probably only you Utah guys will get:

"The Presidency"

CZ97B = The President
CZ75BD = The 1st Counselor
CZ P-01 = The 2nd Counselor

----------------------------------------------------------

there are a few other still un-named guns.

 

[Henry Bowman]

No.

 

[Arcli9ht]

I'll admit to this...

My SL8 is Slate... not too ingenious, but it matches the color.

The Benelli Nova turkey gun is Big Ben.

The Mini-14 was Sparky.

Those are all of the ones that I have/had that have names.

[Kinsman]

Dang....



Ol' Grand-Dad is a hawg-leg 3-screw Blackhawk in .44 that used to belong to......ol' Grand-Dad.

 

[MJRW]

My GP-100 is "Muffin"
My 870 is "Baby Girl"

 

[dairycreek]

Absolutely not!

What a ridiculous idea. After all, Harry and Ethel are just guns. Good shooting

 

[Mike Irwin]

Nope. I don't name inanimate objects.

 

[Dr.Rob]

Only a few have nicknames.

The Machine (a seecamp DA triggered 1911 kit gun)

"Bam-bam and thumper" sometimes go to the range with me when I don't want to say "AK and 870".

 

[Kharn]

'Beater' is how I refer to my home-smithed 1911, there's always something wrong with it (right now I need to stake on a new plunger tube), beaver tail is badly fitted, the cold bluing is for crap and it shoots about as good as it looks.

All of my other guns function properly and look presentable, so I call them by their model name/number (or a shortened version thereof, AR instead of Ar15, AK instead of AK47, etc).

Kharn

 

[5ptdeerhunter]

Not really a pet name. But whenever I speak of my Mosin Nagant M44 I always say M44 BOOM!

 

[John Ross]

I do this occasionally, usually for a new shooter that is amused by the inventiveness of it.

Some are mine, some are traditional...

MGs:
Lewis gun--The Belgian rattlesnake
FN Model D BAR--The Belgian Jackhammer
MG42--"Hitler's buzz saw" or "The Devil's impact wrench"
Any heavy 9mm subgun--The Girlfriend gun
M60--The Abortion
MG81Z--The Poor Man's Minigun

Handguns:
Any suppressed .22--The Hush Puppy
Any Ti/Scan .357 J-frame--De Sade
Anything chromed--Homeboy

Rifles:
6mm Ackley bench gun--The crow popper
Van Horn .510 Wells--Poison
16-lb. K&P .50 BMG--The Thunderbolt
2-Bore--Junior

John, what's that MG81Z?

My bench gun is a plain finish Stolle Panda with rough-turned (on the outside) barrels, glued into a black unfinished Lee Six stock that was inletted for a Kodiak - used to belong to Jerry Johnson, who cared far more about accuracy than about appearances. When Ron Hoehn sold it to me when he was taking care of the estate, he remarked that it looked pretty ugly, but that it shot. I returned that it looked just plain Butt Ugly. So, since then, it has been the Butt Ugly Gun. Sooner or later, I'm probably going to finish a portion of the buttstock, and have a friend of mine airbrush a seriously stacked nude on it, facing away and looking over her shoulder with a two-bagger face...

Yeah, benchresters are weird. I've got a buddy who has a gun that's called Bama Trash - The butt on that one is finished (instead of a buttplate) and painted with a stripper doing that ol' "bend over and look backwards" routine...

 

[brownie0486]

Sure do:

Glocks---------------glock
Sigs------------------sig
S+W-----------------S+W
Seecamp------------seecamp
NAA------------------NAA

I think you get the idea .

If I started naming my guns I'd have to do the same thing with the knives, kali sticks, canes, cars, and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on

Well, you get the idea.

[Flashpoint]

Uh, lets see, there the .22, the 20, the .40, and the 9. I guess when I get more than one gun in a caliber/gauge I'll start giving them names

 

[BerettaNut92]

Daisy, Bambi, Grace and Nina. The Vertec is unnamed and doubt will stay in the armory long. Knives are unnamed.

 

[brownie0486]

Hey skunk:
Nice to see you have a scout configuration.
I have 5 of those [ one shortie, the rest full BR's ]. Three of them are prebans.

Nice aren't aren't they?

Brownie

 

[MonkeyMan]

M38 Swedish Mauser is Brunhilde,
M38 Russian Mosin-Nagant is Pyotr,
M39 Finn "B" barrel is Anna Maria.

 

[Kcustom45]

I know this is real original, but I have been known to call my Kimber Custom Kimberly. In my defense I mainly do it to irritate my girlfriend who tells me that she should be the only woman in my life.

 

[BerettaNut92]

They're alright, I'm not overly impressed with the fit, finish and overall quality, but it does the job. I guess I shouldn't get attached to a beater gun anyway...in case I break it, I wouldn't really care except for the price tag on it

I didn't have much of a choice in Cali, either that or a Mini-14 and like hell I'm buying one if they don't have factory 10-rounders. Bill Ruger Sr!

 

[BamBam-31]

Okay, I'll play.

Garand is Isabella.
Rem 870 is Zeus.
Mini-14 is B.A.

Funny. I only name long guns, not handguns.

 

[ialevy]

I seem to call them all Blasty

 

[Stickjockey]

Just a few.

Series 70 Gold Cup: Sam

Navy Arms 1860 Army clone: Grampaw Samuel

Star Firestar M45: Baby

And my wife calls her Makarov Mak.

 

[Mastrogiacomo]

My Berettas: "Triddu" and "Giuliano."

 

[MicroBalrog]

Weapons should be named IMHO, like Excalibur.

 

[Top_Notch]

Skunk, pardon my ignorance but what is the handgun in the foreground? Where did you get and who made the grips? That's an awesome looking piece.
