What did you name your weapon?

My Glock 42 is called Doug. Fans of the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy will know why.

great code name, Gary,!!! Also use what we call “gut instincts”…every has them, pay attention to them. I remember a hunter’s education instructor saying about hunting….“if you don’t feel right about taking the shot, don’t take it.”

I habitually do not name inanimate objects, so…none of my guns have names. I have my Walther, my AR, and my .45, and that’s the best I have.

I also am terrible at naming things.

Back in the days of Palm Pilots, (precursor to cell phones), they were called PDA’s, an abbreviation meaning Personal Digital Assistant. I just carried that on to my ccw. It is now my Personal Defense Assistant. I carry my PDA almost daily. In most cases it answers the question and most don’t ask what it means, since they don’t want to appear dumb. I hope I never have to use it.

I have no names for most of my guns, but my S&W .44 Magnum with 8” barrel is obviously called “Clint”; my Ruger 357 Speed Six is called “Speedy”.

1911 is Madam Slabsides

Thinking about it I think I am a bit like George Forman. He named all his boys George. All my weapons are named “The”. Either by caliber, type, or Manufacturer.

If I did decide to start naming inanimate objects, knowing me, it would probably be something like The Eliminationer. Because I’m weird.

I never named any of my guns, but, one weapon does have a name. She’s lots of fun to watch when she’s aimed at "stupid ". She goes off quite reliably too! … & Yes, I married her.

Edit: It would seem I was wrong. Apparently I have named a gun, I’m told I’ve introduced one particular gun several times as being “Alotta Fun”.

I call my guns “Legal”, nothing more needs to be said.

I fail miserably in this category. Mine are named, the 226, the 229, the 365, the AR or the rifle, and the Shotgun. My wife names everything. I can’t keep up with them all, but her 365 is “Siggy”

My Hellcat doesn’t have a name :pleading_face:; she is really concealed​:bangbang:

I call mine. Glock 30. Glock 41. FN FNX. 1911. Ruger. Sometimes something more colorful.
