As a general name I like to use the word friend or friends.
Never go through a rough part of town without taking a friend, it's always good to have friends with you in a fight etc.

i thought i was the only one. I have an old 12 guage. Single shot. Break down. Solid walnut. No recoil pad. Basicly a pipe and a piece of wood. However with that long barrel. She kicks like a mule. I dont know. For the past 20 years shes known as Betsy. And every one knows Betsy dont take ****.
I went shooting with some friends about a month ago. My friends father went to shoot Old Betsy. He fired one shot. Unloaded it said " NO thanks now i know why you call her Betsy. Because she told me who was the boss as soon as i pulled the trigger".
Thats Betsy. OLE BETSY

Ma' Bell
(Reach out......Reach out and touch someone.)
I hum this tune inside my head every time I send a round out of my Remington 700. After sighting it in, my dad and I were shooting targets and the first time I let him fire it, he pegged a center hit at about 500 yards. (give or take 100 feet)
He looked at me and said, "Whew! This baby can sure reach out there can't it?"
So I sung the old Bell Telephone jingle. "Reach out....". After awhile, the rifle just became known as "Ma' Bell".
It's funny how a gun will just seem to find it's own moniker, isn't it? It's almost as if they have their own personalities, therefore, need some type of unique name to differentiate them from the rest.
Either that, or I've gone off my rocker and have finally let my affinity for firearms take such complete control over my mind that I am now starting to view guns as people.

I bought a Para 3" a couple of years ago, hoping that it would be a nice carry gun with the LDA trigger on a mini 1911, but it always experienced failures-to-feed.
At the range with a friend, I was trying out yet one more type of ammo as a last resort, and it behaved no better I looked at my friend and said, "What is this? Schumer's Revenge?"
The Para is currently being shipped back to the factory for re-work. I'll update on whether "Schumer's Revenge" becomes "Schumer's Nightmare".
Other named guns:
Beretta 96 that I have always called "The Great Equalizer",
S&W 686+ called "Heavenly Seven",
S&W 627 snubbie called "Fateful Eight"

My daughter calls my Glock 32 a "Bad Guy Beater" good as any name I can come up with.

My favourite is ‘Old Painless’ from the film Predator.
My Winchester 1894 U/L is simply called ‘Winnie’ and my 10.22 is called lots of things unmentionable on THR if it jams when I’m up against a tough time constraint in ‘turning target’ competitions.

I always wanted to name a gun, "The Fecalator". One look and the bad guy poops himself....
My first Mosin M44 is named "The Marshmallow Toaster" I actually got one of the local college language students to look up the Cyrillic spelling of it, so I could paint it on the stock, but I'm happy to say I never got around to it, and never will.
My 91/30 is Anya. She just seems like she should be an Anya, the name feels right.
My XD is named "Good Intentions", as in "The road to Hell was paved with Good Intentions."
My Vetterli-Carcano is "Contessa".
