naming your guns

[Legionnaire]

AT&T, definitely "Reach out and touch someone." Outstanding thing to have engraved on a barrel. It's a generational thing, though; that tag line dates back to 1979 and was popular during the 1980s.

I have a Python and an Anaconda named Bambi and Thumper respectively.

Another Sean Connery fan, eh?

 

[SharpDog]

Named my first one the other day, 'Halfbreed'. It's a p229 Legion Rx conversion on (one of) my smooth, tried and true p229 EDCs:

 

[Mn Fats]

I name all of my guns,,,
It's an American tradition started by Davy Crockett.

Definitely didn't start that. It just carried over from naming ones sword, and before that, im sure cavemen named their clubs. Impressive list, and memory!

Never named a gun, truck or screwdiver yet. I bought one of my pool cues when I was 12 years old, a McDermott, that I still have. Somebody said "hand me the Mickey D" one day and it's been called that ever since. I have 2 other "expensive" cues that I spend way more time with over any gun and haven't named them. Although "Predator" and "Viking" as brand names are already plenty good .

To each thier own. Some pretty creative names I've read. AT&T sticks out. A guy I worked with named his rifle "Frankenstein" cause it was made of all different parts.

 

[Figboot]

I've never even thought of naming one of my guns. My cars are the only things I own that ever get nicknames.

I used to have a cat. His name was . . . Cat.

I figure if he didn't need a proper name, neither do my guns.

 

[Sharps403]

Called her Tammy.. Then I got pistol whipped for assuming her gender. Women...

 

[PaFrank]

I don't name my guns... but will refer otr my vehicle, whatever i'm driving, as "the chariott"... i don't name animals either... There is a stray cat that I feed when he shows up and I just call him"cat" and he responds.. haven't had a dog in a few years, but if I ever get another his name will be "dog"

 

[chicharrones]

It's funny y'all bring up naming animals or not.

For smart animals, I usually call them by their given name.

For stupid animals, I've got a couple dozen names for them depending on the animals traits.

 

[Hookeye]

I name all my guns.
Well, they all have the same name.............

it is

POS

I had a GP100 that was my constant desert and mountain companion called Snake Charmer. It lived up to its name.

I too was a pool player,,,
When I came back from Korea I tried out for and won a spot on a bar league team.

I bought a ice 3-piece Adams cue in celebration,,,
My first night out I won all three of my games and the beer game.

A waitress told me I held my stick like a surgeon holds a scalpel,,,
Since that moment my cue was named Scalpel.

When asked why I called it that,,,
I told them it was because she made all the "fine cuts".
