Do you name your weapons?

[southerncanuck]

I've got a pair of VP9's I've been wanting to name but I just can't pick what to call them... I'm either going with Thunder & Lightning, Rocky & Bullwinkle, Beavis & Butthead, Jared & Ivanka, or if I could get a third one and name them Sally Jessy and Raphael.

 

[JBP55]

All mine had a name on them from the factory such as CZ, Glock, HK, S&W, Sig, Walther, ETC.

 

[Ben Segrest]

no

 

[Fugum]

You guys own guns?

 

[Abby Normal]

My ownself, no.

or if I could get a third one and name them Sally Jessy and Raphael.

How about “Larry, Moe & Curly”

 

[bigsk]

I thought they came with names.

Colt Gov't, Colt Commander, S&W 625-3, S&W 29-1, G-19, etc.

My girl always ask me if i got the business with me.

Naming them is a good way to subtly let your spouse or others know to get the gun in case of issues, or if discussing something about them without having to keep saying the whole ass make/model of it with others who don't know what the **** a DDM4A1 556 16" etc etc etc

 

[Abby Normal]

How about Rudy Tuty AIM & Shootie.

I used to have a 1911 named for a chick my wife accused me of having an affair with, cuz she hates 45s. I know. How completely ludicrous is it that my wife, a fellow veteran, ended up married to a guy who thinks she’s completely wrong for not being addicting to our lord and savior John Moses Browning’s 230gr communion pill and the back-to-back world war champ he made to shoot it?!?



But sadly I lost her with everything except my issued duty guns in a tragic boating accident during the flood.

“But sadly I lost her”
The 1911 or the wife?

 

[Forgotten]

I don't, but my brother-n-law named my crack barrel 10ga. "Thumper" after he shot it.

If it's a NEF or H&R you can take the weight out of the stock. Shaves off a pound or so.

 

[Xeon64]

I call my remington 1100, "The Jam Master"

 

[Wilson54]

Some but not all

 

[Richard Michael]

I just yell out " Who wants to go shooting?" and see who jumps in the car.

 

[Bam Bam]

OK, for those who do name theirs, lets hear some of the more "unusual" names for them.

 

[RT8]

Ol Bessie...

That's every old gun's name.

 

[RussnAttitude]

5.56 carbine is named Hades (God of the underworld), .458SOCOM is Perun (Slovik God of Thunder and Lightning) my 10mm Frankenglock is Enyo (Greek Goddess of war), Glock 29 is Perses (Greek Titan of destruction). I have others, but you get the point. I name all of my weapons after God's...

 

[Richard Michael]

Betelgeuse and Lydia !

Situational
If I'm having a good day accuracy-wise probably no or maybe 'baby'
If accuracy is not present, shooter & firearm are generally referred to disparagingly and plans instituted for a 'recovery seminar' - inspect/clean, restock and get back to the range.
