Name your gun?

[2nthechest]

Maybe this has been discussed before maybe not....

Does anyone here have a name for any of there guns? Some people name their cars and such anyone name their gun and wanna share what kind of gun and what you named it?

I call mine Ecksdee.

My Executive Target goes by "Mr. Brown"...

Only one of my guns has a name, my 450 Alaskan. His name is Boomer and those who heard me shooting it at the last NWI shoot will attest to the appropriateness of that name. His voice is a very deep rolling report that echos back from hills and buildings. It is one of those BOOMS that lasts for several seconds before fading away.

I can barely remember the names of all the people in my family. So coming up with names for all my guns isn't going to happen!

I once had a Llama .45 called her "blondie" on the slide it said Gablondo cia something, so blondie was her name, my first gun was a .44 Blackhawk, I called it my HHAU...hand held artillery unit, used to hit rocks at 400+ yards

 

[drgnrobo]

I call my first Glock "Pamela Lee" (plastic parts) & my 1st Desert Eagle "Bertha"

I figured naming my guns would be too personal and then I would feel bad when I sold or traded them.

My glock is "mr blasty". And the ar-15 is "kathleen" (after a girl I loved a long long time ago). The rest... have no name.

What is this phenomenon(s) of which you speak?

My kids have (appropriately) named all of my guns 'daddy's oweee'! They know that they cause 'owee's' and should be left alone. My daughter's 5 and she named them first, starting with my G-33, and now the boy's do the same thing. My 'tomboy' daughter will take anything in pink!

We just had this discussion at work yesterday. I named my Glock 23 "Belle". A little play on words. "Glock" in German means "bell".

 

[justincue]

The Para LDA is "the panda" I have no idea why.. My old G19 was platypus..

 

[skeetman28]

That statement confused me as well. I've got some that I'll probably only shoot rarely and some that I know I could make a pretty decent profit if I sold but I won't do it. I'm also always the first person in line when my brother decides to sell one that he has picked up. It is partly because I want to own one of just about everything I can and partly because he knows if he sells them to me he can still enjoy them.

My wife used to call my Glock "Glockenspiel" and now she calls my XD "Croatian Cannon".....fitting for the little 9mm
