Does your gun have a 'name'?

[mjr]

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.

That is hilarious.

My Model 629 Classic .44 Magnum is nicknamed "Maggie" (real original huh?) and my Model 28 .357 is nicknamed Nellybelle.

I have only named one of my guns "The Perata Gun" after anti-gun California State Senator Don Perata, but I know of someone who named his favorite pistol "Sweet Lips". In the early part of the 19th Century, Major Benjamin O'Fallon in Sulfer Springs, Missouri successfully fought a duel with his pistol, but I don't know if he named the pistol "Sweet Lips" before or after the duel. The pistol is still owned by one of his decendents. According to family history, O'Fallon shot off his opponent's nose in the duel. O'Fallon was the nephew of William Clark of the Lewis & Clark expedition.

I have one I call "the 642" and another one I call "the 681" OR "the .357" and another I call "the M&P"............

Generalisimo

Howdy,
Most all of mine are "the Model 10" or "The Buckmark".
I do have an old Argentine Colt. It has served the South American military, served me as a fairly stock carry piece, morphed into a fairly custom carry piece/limited gun and for the last several years it has sported big springs and a 4 chamber Gann's comp and pulls duty as a hot loaded pin gun. It has also come to be known as "Generalisimo".
Everything else is called on by what it is.
Thanks
Mike

When I start talkin' to myself......I'll probably name my truck, gun, and come up with something original for my wife!!! Bob (Where's the smilies when you need 'em?)

I have a nickname for my 945 when I shoot with my friend and his Kimber. I call it the kimber Killer

Also named my GPS Jackie, after my wife.

My favorite carry gun is my 5" 629. Her name is Frida.

A double barrel side by side? I'd say "Hoss" is perfect.

 

[CAJUNLAWYER]

The only gun I had that was named was my old Browning side by side (not my new one) that I got rid of years ago when I buldged the barrell. My son-then a little tyke, named it the "death Ray" when one day , I was hunting with him and brother in law (who is an Alpha Hotel) and made an impossibly lucky 45 yard shot that folded a straight away flying mallard right after he said "I'll kiss your --- if you make that shot".

My 638 is named Lillian after my Chihuahua (also named Lillian and sitting in my lap as I type) because she is very small and everybody knows not to mess with her. Both Lillians like to go with me wherever I go. B

My favorite carry gun is my 5" 629. Her name is Frida.

A double barrel side by side? I'd say "Hoss" is perfect.

Hoss? Hmmm...I like it.

Whichever one I'm carrying is generically referred to as "Roscoe"!!!
