Does your gun have a 'name'?

[2000Z-71]

I've got a few that have earned names.

"Thor's Hammer" is my .340 Weatherby Magnum Accumark. It earned that nickname because that's what it hits like at both ends. Not to be outdone, my buddy named his custom .300 Ultra Mag, "Zeus's Jockstrap".

"The Africa Rifle" is my Model 70 in .375 H&H because if I ever so get to make my safari, that's the one rifle I'll take before anything else.

"Thunderstick" is the name my wife gave to my Browning 1885 BPCR rifle in .45-70.

It's enough for me to remember the model names of the guns.

I have a hard enough time with people's names.

I spent the first three months of my son's life calling him by the dog's name.

 

[Smith357]

The names I give my firearms are rather basic, The Kimber is Kimmy, Anschutz is Annie, et. et. et. My Smiths and Winchesters have numbers.

 

[KyWstJoe]

Not too original but my Sigma is "Siggy" and my wifes is "Ms. Siggy".

 

[Ohio Outdoorsman]

This is "BABY"

 

[reddogge]

My ex brother in law named my Remington 541S .22 "The Nevermiss". My son owns it now.

All my guns are named after 15th century Romanian poets.

 

[TNDixieGirl]

"Fluffy".

I have no idea why that popped into my head one day.

Most of mine say "Smith & Wesson"

Occasionally, I refer to one as 'Elrod'. Get it- 'el Rod' ??

[fiasconva]

Mine usually get named whenever I'm shooting really badly. I just can't repeat the names I give them here on this site.

 

[Nathan Forrest]

I call my AK "Uncle Joe" as in Stalin.

All my guns are named after 15th century Romanian poets.

[Evil Dog]

Hmm..... double barrel coach gun? "Mr Stumpy" comes to mind.

My carry guns have names. The 640-1 is "Jake", and my Commander is "Randy". When my wife is with me, she'll ask "is Jake (or Randy) here"? She'll know we're covered.
