Does Anyone Name Their Guns?

I name my milsurp rifles. It started with the Yugo SKS which was already named "Milka." After consulting a real live Yugoslavian, I'm told its that language's equivalent of Michelle. I call her Milka. The Garand then became Annie. The M38 Mosin is Natalya; she needed a good Russian name. My .22 is the .22, since its not milsurp. My handguns are "the .380" or "The Beretta," my Taurus is...This is the high road so I won't mention what I call my Taurus. The Sig is the Sig.

My boat is called "The Bad Example." We usually call it The Boat.
 
Yes.

I change it up from time to time though...

One day it will be called "lousy P.O.S", than the next it may be called "Cursed *imber from hell", while on another day it may be called "Junkenstein".

I usually only name it when it misses a target it's supposed to have hit.































What? Like it's MY fault the gun misses.

Yea, right.

:)
 
Mine came pre-named . . . 1911-A1, G2, #1, Red Label, AR, etc., although my favorite pest eradicator has occasionally been referred-to as "Silent Black Death" or "Geez, that's quiet."
 
I have a 22/32 Target that belonged to my great great grandad that my family has called "Old Gramps" since I could remember and I have occasionally called my P90 a Fat B**ch.
 
I named my Glock 26 'Angel' after that french hooker in the John Wayne movie 'North to Alaska'.
 
My Dan Wesson 44mag is named Burtha.And my Rossie 44 Spl.is Little Burtha.And my Balister 45 is named Clyde.:what:
 
All American guns should be called "Rocky" and all Russian guns should be called "Drago". And everybody knows which one always wins out in the end. ;)
 
My car is called "The Car".
My bike(motorcycle) is called "My bike".
My guitars are called "The Guitar".
My guns are all called "The CZ" :p

I just can't name any of my stuff, to the dismay of some of my buddies. Some people can't understand how come I don't have a name for my bike. To me it just seems silly, I can't see how it matters what I call it.
 
I got to thinking, Johnny's Kimber and Dru's Kimber are almost identical. Johnny's is a classic stainless, and Dru's is just a stainless.

Since I use Johhny's Kimber as a carry gun, maybe I should put an ambi safety on Dru's and call them "right" and "left" respectively...
 
Only the sickos! Just kidding. Do you talk to it like Sledge Hammer? Does it talk back? I am guilty of fondling mine. Always make sure she's unloaded before doing this.
 
Most of my firearms have no name other than those chosen by their manufactorer.

However there are a few exceptions.

S&W 640 in .357 Noisy Cricket from the movie "Men in Black"

My partners likes to call her S&W L Frame .357 Betsy, wich is also one of our code words to be ready for violence (wich I sincerly hope is never needed).

One of my Ruger 10-22s that is tricked our with a Christie & Christie "Super Stock",compensater and a Bushenell Holosight with a 2X magnifier is called the Mini Slut 'cause "everyone has a good time with her guaranteed";). The reason for the "mini" in the name is that a friend had a similarly tricked out M-4gery that he called The Slut for the same reason, so when a mutual friend first shot that 10-22 she nicknamed it the "Mini Slut" and the name stuck.

Both of us use our respective "sluts" for beginners so that they have an enjoyable experience at the range.

Mods, I do not think this would offend "Arts' Grandmother", if I am in error please delete or PM me and I will delete the part about the 10-22 NukemJim
 
gtmerkley's DAD

My combat commander I call big brother.When I played fiddle in a band and the other band members felt unsafe when we played some rough honkey tonk they would come and ask if I had Big brother with me. Some times I would say no but I got Big brothers British cousin with me. That is what I called my 455 Webley
 
"But alternative names for the guns are good if you have to tell your wife something but don't want others to know what is going on..."

This is the only reason my gun has a name(such as it is). My wife suggested that we name it, "just for fun", but that's not my thing. As I continued to think about it, though, it would be convenient to be able to refer to the gun by a proper name. Now she'll ask "where's Junior?" instead of "are you packing?" :)

I named my Mosin Nagant M91\30 Ivanovich (it was named by the man who used it in WW2 and engraved it so on the bolt ,magazine floorplate and buttplate).payed $200 for it.

I also named my mossberg 580 12gauge Mossy

and my .22 WMR bolt action Mr. Unreliable

This Remington 514 is named the "Cat gun" although it hasn't killed nowhere as many cats as squirrels. When those pesky cats want to tear into basement screens and fight with "fluffy" it turns into the cat gun.

This one is affectionately named the "squirrel tamer". I don't use that magazine but that magazine along with that prostaff ought to bring out the fear of God in those squirrels that the neighbors birdfeed too cottonpickin much.

This K31 is named zweimal short for Schiessen zie zweimal. meaning to shoot twice.
Burris Scope with a St Marie mount and this thing outshoots me.
The Swiss were serious about their accuracy.
The shorter version as told here is that the Swiss had half the troops as Germany so "shoot twice"

Entrefflichkeit!
