dcarter Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Nope, don't know of anyone who names guns. But I know a lot of people who name cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiG Lady Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 What Carina said. The guns I did at one time name have since been sold. The newer ones remain un-named. Would they be endowed with more power if I DID name them, I wonder...? Hmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSEMARTIN Posted August 3, 2007 Author Share Posted August 3, 2007 Sorry I hurt your feeling Chris... At least you were able to come up with a name for the new "kid" in you shooting bag after the match. You couldn't hurt my feelings if you tried. I was only kidding around. I'm still working on a name. I like J.D., but it doesn't fit the personality of the gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heavy Metal Only Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 yes to many to list. One inparticular Machine for my first pistol and I should call my ar-10 Terror. Is it wrong to talk to them too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dajarrel Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 If you quit before buying sexy underware for them...its ok Jim edited before I got in trouble the only names I've ever given a gun are unprintable. Usually kinda spur of the moment things. dj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiG Lady Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Hmm... Maybe I should name my .22LR "Trophy Wife" because that's the gun that brought home the most trophies... really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSEMARTIN Posted August 3, 2007 Author Share Posted August 3, 2007 Is it wrong to talk to them too? I talk to Larry in the safe area before major matches. I wasn't going to admit it, but what the hell!! I tell him to be a good boy for me. Then I put him in his holster. Really though.......I am perfectly normal and harmless.

Kingman Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I am with some here. Most the names I use in public, I can't really type here because well they don't advance anything. Basically I use the terms shorty for my short open gun, big gun for the 5" open gun, Para for the para ordnance, etc. though you know maybe if I name them they will like me again. They have been pretty mad at me since I started trying to get back into it after 2 years off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdstihl Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 No names,except for the .223 I snipe groundhogs with, which I laughingly call the Death Ray. Other than that, i don't name my wrenches or farm tractors either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EZ Bagger Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 If you had to go by the naming conventions in this post, the only time a gun would get a name was if it was on the short list for submission to a gun buy back by some lefty group.

Kingman Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Billy Baroo, that is amazing. But that club got blown up. Maybe would be a very bad name for a gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9x21 Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 For same reason I named my kids different names, To keep from getting them mixed up! Shorty 1, Shorty 2, Shorty 3, Spitfire, the .40, Big Caspian, Little Caspian, the P9, the Huening P9, etc, etc. Life was much more simple in the beginning, only had one pistol, the "Goldcup"!

foxtrotuniformlima Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 no - but perhaps I should. They would have to be names like - Clint or Duke. " Me and Duke went to the range today." " Clint couldn't hit a F-ing thing" " Duke was on fire" Damn, I just made myself laugh. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterdaws Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Around my home state I mostly shoot Standard division with a Bul M5 which I am very comfortable with so its called "The Wife" There are not many production shooters in my state but its more popular down south so when I go out of state for a weekend I take the XD9, so she's called "The Mistress" I built a gun for a friend who is an irascible Viet Nam Vet and he said every one reckons he has attitude so we engraved that on his gun so that he can show them that he really does have "Attitude" Bul Transmark built me a little carry gun and offered to put my name (Peter Dawson) on the slide. I thought that a little gauche so I asked them to engrave it "D-special" as I used to carry a Colt D-special when I was in the Police. That has spawned a tradition where guns I own or build are named with a prefix D-. A friend surnamed Hatzipanagiotis is in the habit of, when people stumble over his name, saying "Its pronouced Smiiith with three i s" So the S&W revolver we built has become "D-Smiiith". A Wilson .22 conversion unit on an alloy Caspian frame is a "D-light" to shoot. A gun built for a friend, surnamed Hood has become "D-hood" Pronounced Da Hood - where the homeboys come from. The same guy had a 6" slide gun built for Service Match (Aussie PPC) which he really "D-serve" d. I recently built a 10 mm pistol for a guy who is licensed to carry one because his work takes him into close contact with Sharks, Pigs and Crocodiles. That is called "D-Bo" named after Bo Derek - the perfect 10. Peter Dawson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
