So after gettin my tactical pants on and yankin old Gert outta the safe, I decided to take her out for a walk at the range and run her thru her paces on the combat set. Had 4 clips full of boolits, ready to lay down some fire. Now the bang swithch on Gert is slicker than snot on a doorknob, man I'm talkin buttery smooth, so after slammin home one a them clips I shoved one in the pipe and prepared to have at em. Now Gert's my fav toy, so she ain't minty no more, but her furniture is in pretty good shape so I can hang on to her right well. So I stuck my booger hook on the bang lever and went to town. This particular platform has flawless reliability, so once we starting bangin she was shootin like a laser beam. Lead was flyin like she was an automatic assault rifle. After a short while, I ran out of 380 defense ammo, so I pulled the snubbie of of my wasteband and cracked off a few more rounds before I went home to dinner.

I sometimes use minty.
Minty is not so bad once you know its definitions:
minty, adjective. 1. it would be irrelevant to the conversation and a waste of the author's time for him to dig the gun out of the back of his safe and scratch his trying to decide if it is in 97% or 99% condition. 2. the author simply can not remember if the Model 26 he bought in 1975 was in 97% or 99% condition. 3. the internet seller would not tell the truth to save his life.

I'm glad you own a tack driver, but I'm disappointed that you went to a "range" to bust some caps. To be ultra-cool, you gotta get yourself to a shootin' gallery.

I own handguns, and long guns which are all firearms.
I dislike it when knowledgeable people use of the word weapon to define them.
One can use a screwdriver or a Bic pen as a weapon, which defines its misuse at the time, not necessarily what it was designed for.
My dove gun or squirrel rifle if used in self defense then may be called a weapon under those circumstances.

I love colorful speech and writing. I practice both frequently, sometimes to the bewilderment of my neighbor ladies here in this apartment complex for independent elderly folks. Half the time they have no idea what the hell I'm talking about, which is just as well.
I avoid cute speech at all costs.
Other than that, I'm not hard to please. I become only a little grumpy over terms like shotty, wheely, bottom-feeder, Remmy, Winnie, Mossy, new shoes, clip, nickle, Partridge sight, and anthracite.
A certain amount of mild berserkitude can sometimes be produced by boolits, booger hook, bang switch, sheeple, antis, "discrete" for "discreet", compensation, PC and Freud.
I'm easy.

I agree completely with this!
Putting it bluntly, a gun is one of the most recognized phallic symbols in the known universe.
Assigning feminine traits or girlish values to a gun is simply incomprehensible to me.
It is interesting, in Spanish, pistols are feminine "la pistola, una pistola"
revolvers on the other hand are masculine "el revolver, un revolver"
I never noticed that 'till I read the above post.

i'm glad to see that most of you recognize my right to call my revolving pistols whatever i want.
i grew up on westerns where the old six guns were pistols n to heck with people who have no sense of history.
that said, i love the word ''gat'' mentioned above n i think i'm gonna start carrying a gat.
some words are just cool.

The media's term "weapon of war". I doubt there's an army on the planet that uses the same type of semi-auto rifles that those of us outside of CT/NJ/MA/NY/MD/CA/HI are allowed to buy, which means their "weapon of war" term is a lie because they're not used in wars anywhere.
After worrying all afternoon whether I might have inadvertently offended any of my colleagues here on the forum with some long ago use of one of the offending terms, this was the first post I read after getting home. Robert, you had me laughing so hard tears were running down my cheeks!! I think you managed to get almost all of the offensive terms into one post!!
Thanks!!!
Best Regards, Les
I prefer roscoe over gat. Gat is short for Gattling gun and during the days of the "blind pig" was reference to most firearms, but mostly the "Tommy gun".
I envision Edward G. Robinson putting his roscoe in his pocket, like I do my Baby Chief.

susie:
I read a lot of "classic" detective stories from the thirties and forties, as well as watch "Film Noir", so ... I sort of like "roscoe" to go along with the "gat", but "six-shooter", and "six guns" sounds pretty good to me also.
I sort of think that at least some of the above criticism was at least partly tounge in cheek.

Re M1A's Edward G. Robinson putting his roscoe in his pocket, can't we work Mae West into this thread somewhere?
