Favorite Barrel/Caliber Markings

[saboteur]

What are your favorite designations for calibers that are marked/engraved on your guns?

For instance, in .45, I prefer it to say ".45 Auto" or Automatic.

In 9mm, I like "9mm Parabellum" (on a Taurus 905).

In .40, my favorite is "Cal .40".

I don't like any of the manufacturer names in the caliber like .40 S&W unless it is on a gun by that manufacturer. Makes me wonder if any gun is marked "9mm Luger".

Anyone else have any favorites? Any unusal ones seen?

What is "WCF"?

Love anything that says "Magnum" on it. I also like them to include the gun name like "Alaskan" or "Vaquero". I hate those stupid warnings on the barrel that screw up the aesthetis. Whose idea was that anyway?

Also, I like on my custom Jarvis barrel it says ".355".
I'd never seen that one before.

on factory guns/barrels, i really don't care what it says. on customs, i like a little flair. eg, i have a custom mauser and the engraved shilen barrel reads: .323 mauser... instead of the traditional 8x57.

Saboteur: "WCF" stands for Winchester Center Fire.
