Do You Name Your Guns

[runco]

I was reading another story on another web site about this topic, do you ever give your guns a name?  I for one, haven't, but if I think about it, I could name my Sig P220 Nikki (for sexy), my Glock 21 Olga (for ugliness), and my Colt AR Kim Kardashin for being very fast and sexy.  So seriously, do you have a name for your gun.  Tell me!

Guilty as charged:
AR15- The General
AR10- Kasimir
M&P .40- Leviticus
Marlin 30-30- Lefty "The Lever"
P90- Pancho
30-06- Cockeye
9mm- Albert
9mm- Lola <--(Wife's gun) Edited October 25, 2013 by rugerla1

When I was working in Springfield, I nicknamed my Glock "cuz". If you've ever been in the projects in Springfield you will understand. And even though I'm no longer there, Cuz is still with me.

Sent barefoot from the hills of Tennessee

[Johnny Rotten]

Simon...... AKA: Simon Says 

[R_Bert]

Usually the same as the cats. (D***it!!)

[vontar]

nope.

 

Don't get me wrong, I am very attached to my guns.  Never sold 1 gun in my life.

 

I kinda think of them more as my adoptive children.  I give them all a good home.

[Timestepper]

Yep. Top four favorites are:

.54 Mowrey - Jessie

1851 Remington 'Buffalo' .44 w/14" bbl. - Yard & Half (If you ever shoot this pistol you'll know why.)

Savage 24 over/under .357mag/20ga. - Dirty Maggie, a take off on DRT (Dead, right there.)

Winchester lever action .22 - Little Miss (Because she's light weight and misses very little.)

My Springfield Armory EMP 9mm every-day-carry is named "Sting" after Bilbo Baggins' sword in the Lord of the Rings.

I do but this is a PG13 website so when I enter them I just get squiggly lines and hash tags.

[xd shooter]

I have only named 1 of mine. I call my 1895 Marlin in 45-70 "Tank"

[TripleDigitRide]

No.

Heh, my first thought was that the only gun I have with a name was given a name by my wife. All my rifles and pistols, however, remain nameless.

[Guest TankerHC]

I name my guns like I name my pets.

 

Dogs name - Dog

Cats Name - Cat

Guns name - Gun

Maybe I'm weird here, but never really thought about it.

[wewoapsiak]

Glock 23:  Elvira

Glock 26: Sue

AR-15:  Homewrecker (Someone wasn't happy at the $$ I spent on this one)

M&P Shield: Dixie

 

Girlfriend quit naming them after this, but it makes it easy when telling her which pistol / holster to grab when getting dressed.

[Dustbuster]

Yes George carlin would have been proud!!

The only names i've ever called them were Glock, Ruger, Remington etc. Recently when the subject came up about naming your guns I named my Glock 21 BUBB. (Big Ugly Black Brick).

[Hkinator]

Not so much of a name but i have refered to my ccw weapon as my "rape whistle"

[RichardR]

Nope, I have never named any of my firearms just like I've never named any of my chainsaws, drills, screwdrivers or ratchets.

[Guest Keal G Seo]

Yes, but more nicknames than actual names. For instance my 12g is lovingly known as Thumper, guess why. My muzzle loader is known as The Rain Maker, the plume of smoke reminding me of clouds. Most run along those lines, still don't have names for a couple of them but I'm sure I will sooner or later.

[whitewolf001]

Just the shotgun, it's Big Bertha.

Same here, so if your weird i am too lol. Ive never "named" anything. A lot of people also name their cars, never done that either. My brother does. He has a big bright red chevy 2500 hd he calls "red"
