Do you have a name for your gun?

[outfieldjack]

So, we all love our guns..... I was wondering how many of us have pet names for our "pieces?" And if you have a name for your gun, how/why did you chose it?

I have a KT P-32. Since some consider it a "mouse" gun, I named mine "Mr. Jingles" in honor of the mouse from "The Green Mile."

 

[Soap]

Nope. For me, names are for people and pets.

 

[Missouri Mule]

I call mine (of the moment) "Fluffy" It's snuggly soft.........

It is an oxymoron . Fluffy but will hurt you if need be!


I think I may have seen something similar on a tv commercial or somewhere.

 

[DeltaElite]

That is so warped.

Just wait til Mr Glock hears about this, that's the generic name for all of my Glocks.
Just don't tell Mr Delta that I talk to Mr Glock, he would get jealous.

My mossberg 500 was nicknamed by my friends, they called it "Ol' Bessy". My Ruger Blackhawk was nicknamed "Old Rose" by a former co-worker after he saw some photographs i took of it with a rose next to it.

I don't have a name for my Bersa or my SKS, so maybe i need to talk to my old friends again, and see what they come up with.

No.

(...and if you can't tell through the monitor, I'm lookin' real funny at you right now. )

 

[Onslaught]

My USP45 is affectionately referred to as...

WI-NO-NA!

(I'm a Farscape fan )

None of the others have names... It's just that, with the UTL attached, it does remind me...

 

[Okiecruffler]

My SKS is named "the Money Pit"

 

[10-Ring]

Nope, no names for any of mine. I tried that once, but everytime I picked up a gun, it had a different name. I guess I could name them all "Spot" Like George Foreman named all his kids George

 

[BigG]

Mr. Nine Emem. Apologies to Samuel L. Jackson!!

 

[bogie]

Humphrey.

I don't name my weapons.

 

[pax]

My carry gun is named "Miss Anne Thrope," but I usually refer to her simply as Miss Anne.

When my shooting buddy bought himself a matching gun, he named his gun "Sir Jury."

The kids' battered old .22 Marlin is "the wizard."

If we've named any of the other guns that wander through here, I don't remember the names...

[Nathaniel Firethorn]

Just wait til Mr Glock hears about this, that's the generic name for all of my Glocks.

Funny, that's what my wife calls my G19.

My USP is "Der Heckler." I take it out to heckle targets.

[BerettaNut92]

Nina, Bambi, Daisy, Henrietta and Grace for my Beretta, Benelli, M1A, USP45C and P7M8 respectively.

Banjo's named Pokey.

 

[DeltaElite]

I call my Remington 870 that I use for work Remy.
"C'mon Remy, we got bad guys to shoot."
"Ok Daddy, let's go."

 

[geekWithA.45]

Sig P245 = Brunhilde: Swiss, Efficient, and a tad Severe
Sig 226 = Jessica: She's so durned friendly
Bushie Dissipator = Gugnir, the Spear of Oden
M1A = Mjolnir, the Hammer of Thor


uh, I guess I'm a freak.

 

[scottgun]

A friend calls his AR-15 dubya for short,
George W. Bushmaster is the full name.

My 12 ga. Remington 870, with extended mag tube and pistol grip has become known as "the captain" before I had a case for it, I would keep it in a camp chair bag with the words captains chair on the outside. It works having nick names, if there is ever a sign of trouble, all you need to say is "better call the captain."

 

[T.Stahl]

Well, I call my guns simply MY Glock, MY Enfield and MY SL8.

 

[Blackhawk]

Mine came with names from the factories, so that's what I call them or some diminutive thereof.

 

[BamBam]

I have a KT P-32. Since some consider it a "mouse" gun, I named mine "Mr. Jingles" in honor of the mouse from "The Green Mile."

I don't name my guns but "Mr. Jingles" is too good!

May I use it, Outfieldjack?

Thanks,
BamBam

 

[clown714]

[MountainPeak]

I do not name my firearms, but I do call the contraptions I store them in "safes".

 

[PvtPyle]

I call my .50 "AT&T" for two reasons. The obvious, and then to "get back" at AT&T for their anti-gun policies, even though it was their paychecks that paid for it.

 

[JeanC]

My Ruger Blackhawk is Teddy and my Ruger Vacquero is Eleanor My 12g coach gun is Ol' Betsy and my lever action rifle still hasn't settled on a name yet. I usually refer to her a Lil'bit when I'm thinking about it.

 

[thumbtack]

I have never named any of my guns before. I think I will start by naming my Glock 19 Yohan.
