Naming your gun

[Sandman]

I thought I remembered a thread on this but I can't find it. Have you named your gun? If so, what name and what kind of gun? I'm in the process of naming mine now so just wondering.

[bluedog]

I guess Glock, Walther, Ruger, and Remington don't count...

[Fourtyfive]

Isn't that reserved for boats and such ?

[Westwindmike]

Yes, you name ships, not guns.

[Sandman]

What?? Blasphemy! Beulah is a good shotgun name!

[Jimbo100]

L.C. Smith shotgun named Elsie like many more of them before her.

First off, my wife names EVERYTHING. Her car is Little Red, my truck is Big Red, etc.

I put a slide end cover on my glock that has a stylized skull from the comic book The Punisher. Therefore, my wife starts calling my Glock 26 "Punisher". Its stuck. Me and the kids all call this gun Punisher now.

I don't name guns but will refer to my Mosin as Rodina from time to time.

[Oh Shoot]

Thunder Barrel ... oh, wait, that's something else...

Did you mean Thunder Bowel?

[Caster]

Not all of mine are named, but the ones I have a particular fondness for....yes. They have names.

How did you know my last ex called me that?

[Guest HCRoadie]

I've always liked "Boom Stick" from Army of Darkness

The glock was christened as Elvira. The girlfriend was angry when I bought the AR b/c I said I'd only buy one gun (the glock) so it was given the name Home Wrecker. She gave up after the next 4 came in.

I've got some pretty close friends that I like a lot...they have names.

I've got a couple of guns I love quite a lot...they have no names.

I never even considered it until now.

My Uzi model B is self aware. Calling it anything other than Uzi brings its wrath.

How long before the copyright runs out on "Ol' Betsy"?

I took a page from AYoob. He calls his 1911 Fluffy. I call my 357 Boo Boo. When the wife asked why I told her that if I ever had to use it on someone it was going to give them one hell of a Boo Boo!

Maybe you should call it Christine...when she's not listening of course.

My 44 is dirty harry, and the mosin is moses. The lee enfield could be churchill...and my steyr is a little austrian devil.

[Mike.357]

I don't name guns.

My grandson though calls the AK my girlfriend. He says I love it better than anything else. I suppose he is right.

My 2011 is Bob, it's matching STI 1911 is Judy. They are named for my parents.

The 2011 is fat and special, but drop dead reliable. Just like my dad was.

The 1911 is thin, shiney, and more than a little picky about what you feed it, just like my mom was.

Other than that, all my weapons are referred to as, "that one," or "the rifle," etc.
