Well they do make loud noises that hurt your ears and buck and twist in your grasp. Make you happy one moment and drive you to distraction the next. And you just cannot imagine life without em. Sorta sounds like a woman to me!

Named a car once. Enormous 1968 Grand Marquis with a strange air of impending doom (which later proved accurate). Named it the Hindenburg. Nothing feminine.
I don't name guns, knives, fishing tackle, tools, etc. Unless they seriously displease me, in which case they may be called colorful names.

The only thing I ever named was my first set of wheels,a 51 Ford PU.We called it Furd.
Good question. I've always thought that referring to guns
as "she" sounds a bit silly. I love some of my guns but I'm
not "in love" with any of them.

because they do things our wives won't...
my wife once said she was jealous of my 4-wheeler and asked why i spent so much time with it...
i took her to the garage, opened the door, turned the key on the quad, pushed the start button, took off down the driveway and then back in to the garage...then i twisted my wife's left "knob" poked her right "button" and asked if she was ready to go to the bedroom. of course she said "no", to which i replied she(nodding to the quad) never says no...
by the way, i never refer to anything as she, except for that one time to make a point...and i was in the doghouse for a few days over it...

I've got a tiny little Chihuahua named Lillian so when I got my tiny little gun (642) I likewise named it Lillian. My wife has asked me "do you have Lillian with you"? Which means do you have your gun with you.
Now I haven't given it much thought but I also have A 110 pound Doberman named Axl...he is big, burly and black. I think I'm going to name my 12 Gage shotgun Axl!

Private Pyle named his M-14 "Charlene", and that worked out well for him.
I'd rather hear somebody refer to their gun as a "she" than call it a "platform".
Whoa! I had a '72 Ford Custom 500 junkyard rebuild named "Tank"!
Loved that car - you could seat 6 people and two beer coolers and still had room to dance!You musta not paid attention in 8th grade English class when Mr. Flagg explained that " things of "beauty,,, grace,,, and speed" are referred in the feminine.
Here endth the lesson.

Actually a boat is more than a girl-it is a succubus-sucking everything out of you until you sell it to another unsuspecting buyer. I know-i own 4 of them
And I'll probably get another one

Cause most of them are sweet, sleek and sassy.
No one here has yet mentioned grabbing a round butt and heading for the door.......

I view a 'platform'........
A 'platform' to me is a base something that you can add custom accessories to your heart's content. Therefore I don't own any 'platforms'.
