do you have pet names for your guns?

[gathert]

I call her... Vera






Had to put that in here, just for arguments sake.

 

[Dain Bramage]

Some.

French 1892 Ordnance Revolver is old enough to have earned a name: "Lille".

Matched Ruger Anniversary Blackhawks in .44 mag and .357 mag: "Hoss" and "L'il Joe".

Others are just variations of their ID, like "The Finn".

 

[wy child]

I have only named one of my guns and that is my rem 700 SPS rifle

Because I found the name quite fitting, the was Black Mamba
after a very dangerous snake.

I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

[txhoghunter]

Not really pet names....but the Glock 19 is the "dog-stopper"

However, I feel that the AR is going to take over the name, since I got it for that specific purpose

 

[ProShooter]

My Glock 23 is named Justin Case.

 

[heron]

I've only named one of mine so far . . . the long-barreled Saiga .223 . . . it's "Tin-O-Saurus Rex, Son of Punch-Press."

 

[The Lone Haranguer]

If you get a Wilkinson Arms firearm, they already have girl's names. (His daughters.)

 

[Remo223]

little friend.

as in "say hello to my little friend"...except in my case "little friend" is a NAA minirevolver.

 

[pockets]

If you get a Wilkinson Arms firearm, they already have girl's names. (His daughters.

Same with all Lorcin pistols.
IIRC: Jim Waldorf's daughters are named Lori and Cindy.

[hso]

Only one out of the scores of firearms has a "name" and that was only as a bit of humor amongst a group of us one day.

Stumpy the Clown Car Wonder Pistol, "Stumpy". A Para P12 with a +2 base pad on the primary magazine.

 

[Claude Clay]

i've not named them but over the years some have been named by others---

one young dude called my OMC "45 MAN" and than left before i could get him to explaine himself

another called my Defender " Oh Mother" though i admit i missed part of what he said

my 642 was called " Holy Jesus"

"Yo Mister, we were just kidding" seems like an awful long name for a PPK/s but thats what the guy said when he saw it...

but i don't name them but for what the factory calls em.

 

[M91/30]

Ive been known to call my M91/30 "Old Russian" and variouse other nicknames. And my Cz-52 is normally referred to as The CZ. My 1903 springfield I call The 03 or 06 springfield, sometimes just springfield. On occasion I call my 10/22 an evil black rifle as well as my Sprayer due to its inaccuracy, I normally dont call it this but I should call it a black hole, due to the money that's gone into it and nothings came out of it.

 

[skoro]

No, but I call the 86 Toyota 4wd pickup, "old red".

 

[Timothy_90]

I nicknamed my muzzleloader "Darwin", because it facilitates natural selection. It earned the nickname when I dropped a nice buck and a big doe with it on the same day this past October.

 

[Johnonthebass]

I named my sr9 Wynona. I don't normally name inanimate objects either but my girlfriend wanted me to name it.

+1 to anyone who gets the reference

 

[Remo223]

I don't name things that will not come when called, well except for cats.

I name all cats "cat".

 

[Philly Slim]

"My friend"

 

[DrDragon]

I call my 870 "Slim", after my old dog.

 

[clancy12]

Matched Ruger Anniversary Blackhawks in .44 mag and .357 mag: "Hoss" and "L'il Joe".

Nice Bonanza reference! They are a lot better gun names than Ben or Hop Sing.

 

[andrewdl007]

I call one Earl after my Grandfather who it belonged to. My 1911 is Pike after Pike Bishop in the Wild Bunch.

 

[VT Deer Hunter]

Dont have any but i call them "she" or "her" so on.

 

[MathurinKerbouchard]

I call my CZ P-01 "Svoboda" - Liberty/Freedom in Czech and most Slavic Languages

 

[AuthorityDenied]

This is Thumper



This is Brutus

 

[THE DARK KNIGHT]

I have two Saigas, I call them Marx and Lenin.

 

[wolfe]

I have a Browning Citori Grade III that my Aunt Marilyn won in a Raffle..

I call it Aunt Marilyn..
