Oh ya, how bout the Rossi Princess? Ugh....
Yep, that name is horrible. I guess in Brazil you could have a Princess phone to go with a Princess Revolver.

Eh. Having been involved in the world of firearms for more than 50 years (my first .22 rifle was the Stevens Favorite 1915), I can't recall ever letting a gun's model name bother me in any way. Kind of liked the name "Raging Bull" and what's not to appreciate about "Desert Eagle?"
Back in the day, no one complained about the word "combat" applied to their handguns; and even if the term "tactical" is shamefully over-used these days, I hope to be using my TRP (my only current gun with that word on it, having let go of the Kimber Tactical Pro) in a tactical manner, even when practicing ...
And it was us on the internet, after all, who coined the phrase "mall ninja" and now we apply it to our own tools when we don't like how they're marketed? Good grief, is everybody just turning into a curmudgeon here?
I object far more to obnoxious logos on semi-auto pistol slides (STI, anyone?) or two lines of legal warnings (Ruger, Beretta et al) on the slides and barrels ...
Naming of firearms has never been as bad as names of motor vehicles (what's a large bird of prey have to do with a pick-up truck anyway?), especially the names made up just to sound cool. At least mostly on guns, the names more often apply to purpose rather than just because ... And yes, I once packed a handgun marked "Lady Smith" on a regular basis. Uh, I might draw the line at "Princess," though.
And your Microsoft steel revolver v9.0 MUST be updated to v10.Just be glad Microsoft doesn't make firearms, or we'd have the Microsoft 2017 Steel Revolver .357 Home and Office Edition with Plus.
Two I'm fond of;
CZ SP-01 Phantom

And the CZ EVO S1 Scorpion.

Obviously it took it's name from the Skorpion of Cold War fame, not sure how the Czechs came up with that one back then.
The only one I thought went over the line was the Magnum Reasearch BFR - you will never convince me that "Biggest, Finest Revolver" is the real name.

the'586' means nothing without actually seeing it or being educated in their particular system. At least 'L357-B' would have meant something to your average buyer.
The Hi power is a rough translation and is NOT a reference to the ability of the round. Its more accurately translated grand influence or power. It stems from the fact that it was the first double stack magazine..New
Of the ones I've owned/own... "Combat Magnum" (was out combated by its inception), "Guardian" (a .32 DAO), "Hi Power" (a 9mm), and probably many others.
It's silly how people get into such an uproar over the term "tactical". As suggested above, what term do you want to use to differentiate between rifles like this...
