Favorite Weapon Nickname

[MoldyJoe]

Not sure what category to post this in, but this one works. Do any of you have a classic nickname for one of your guns? I know Mt Gianni loves his "Sweetness". And I have a 30-30 lever gun that just screamed "My name is Vera, and don't you forget it" . How about it, any Lucretia Bourgia's out there? If there's a story along with it, thats even better. Moldy

[calaloo]

My gun with a name is not a weapon it is a schuetzen rifle made to shoot at targets. Its serial number is 1066 so naturally its name is Norm.

[Hickory]

I have a varmint rifle that chose her own name;
BOOM-WHACKER

[Potsy]

I've got an old Mossberg 1000 12ga. I've referred to as "Bertha" since I was 15.
Borrowed Jessie Ventura's line from Predator and call my Browning .25-06 "Old Painless".
Not really an affectionate nickname but from time to time I refer to my #1 7x57 as my ".275 Rigby" just to screw with my unknowing buddies.

[Hardcast416taylor]

Anybody want to offer up a guess why I call my S&W m-29 "Harry"?Robert

[imashooter2]

"The 625."

I guess I'm just not real creative.

[Shooter6br]

I have a Mech Tech 45 acp carbine convertable .When you fire it It goes "Thump"

[Bullshop]

My first year production Marlin 45/70. When they went to the 336 receiver from the original 1895 receiver they started the serial number with a B prefix and then zero zero.
My old hunting partner is called B00.

[LowPE]

On the GI websling of my M1A Loaded, my kids sharpied in Foehammer after Gandalf or Thorin's sword from the Hobbit.

[woodpile]

My dads muzzle loader is called meat.

[elk hunter]

I like big bore rifles and own a few of them, but haven't named any of them. Perhaps I should consider the following based on what people have said when looking down the barrels of some of them: OMG, for "OH MY GOD" or perhaps JC, for "Jesus Christ, what are you going to shoot with that?" or perhaps, OOF, the sound one frequently makes when shooting them off the bench.

[Doc_Stihl]

My S&W 586 is named "The Smith". Anyone I shoot with knows which one I'm talking about when I say it.

[Doc Highwall]

How about BOOMER.

[Bret4207]

I have a 7 "D" cell Maglite I carried on the job. Nickname- "Thumper".

[BSkerj]

I ordered my 1895 45/70 off of Gunbroker. It came from the same town in WA state the popular teen series Twilight supposedly took place. My daughter seen the address when it came in and said that is where Bella is from. She now affectionately calls it Bella. It does like to drain the blood out of things !!!

[shooter93]

Ol' Stays Down...a 45-70 Ruger Number 1

[Doughty]

My Ruger #1 in .33 Krag is the "Witchin' Stick." When it gets around game it just seems to jump up and point itself, like it had a mind of its own. :mrgreen:

[uncle joe]

my dad passed down to me a smith and wesson registered magnum he carried everywhere he went. He always called it old betsey so I guess she still is.

[DIRT Farmer]

One gun, Dads old A-5 16 ga. It will always be known as THE Browning.

Bret, I still have my 7 C mag lite. I guess I just liked a little more barrel speed. Great memeries of bad bars.

[Mumblypeg]

I have a 7 "D" cell Maglite I carried on the job. Nickname- "Thumper".

My 45-70 is "Thumper" I guess that's a popular one.
Bret, we would hold those Maglites about shoulder high with the bottom of our hand facing forward behind the lense. We called that "The Wapping Mode".:mrgreen:

[Artful]

My wife loves to name my toys
CAR-L is CAR-15
Govinator is 678G Ruger Mark II government model
Barbie is the AR-15 - do to so many accessories
Roman - the Romanian M1969 22LR training rifle.
Bert - Beretta 92FS

she has more but I don't remember them.

[Triggerhappy]

Colt 1911 .45 = Ugly Mean & Nasty.

This is going right where I hoped it would. Thanks guys. Any ideas for a Ruger Blackhawk 357 Mag? 6 1/2 inch barrel. With the 9mm cylinder how about something like crossover or AC/DC. Joe

Well being my wife's the one who likes to name things I asked her...
expecting something like Roger, or Blackie or some such

I got back "The Pastor" to which I asked where that came from - her response
Well Hawks are Birds of Prey - and what do Pastor's do - they Pray
it's a play on words... :-?

17 years and I still don't see where all the switches on the line are. :-D

[WILCO]

M44 is the "Ted" & M69 is "Romie".
Haven't gotten around to naming the others...........

[chrispy]

My Glock 22 was known as 'Mr Black' and my AIA M10A2 has the name, 'devil gun' as it has the serial ending in 666.

[JeffinNZ]

My suppressed .32-20 is "Whispering Death".

"Isaac" in my Isaac Haines .40cal flinter.

[82nd airborne]

Ive got Gena Glock, Mr Willie Whelen, Snauser the Mauser, Kara Para, and many more retarded names that get you some goofy looks when people over hear you sweet talking and caressing your guns.

[Suo Gan]

Onion (because I won it by shooting the most onions at 200 yards), Two Sh#ts (or 2 #2's or just 22 for short (its a 257 Roberts); after a bear it shot took two big dumps before keeling over), Stump Knocker (cus it fell out of the truck when the differential hit a stump, otherwise abused and neglected regularly, and still rises to the occasion when asked), Donkey D#ck (because of its massive belled bore), Brentwood (because it is quite the yuppy firearm) and Miss Ana (none of your business). No preference, but I prefer stump knocker for most work.

[bigdog454]

My shootin pardner named my .454, every time we went to the range he'd ask, " did you bring the BIG DOG"

[Tazman1602]

LOL! Ya' beat me to it MJ!

I call my biggest gun "Vera". I was a fan of Jayne Cobb in the "Firefly" series and the movie "Serenity". He always named his guns in order of killing power!

"Vera" is a 30-06 I built on a 1909 Argentine action, lugs lapped, Ruger bolt handle, Winchester Mod 70 side swing safety, and Timney trigger topped of with a fluted Montana Rifleman barrel and done by Brian. I think it's the Montana Rifle Company now and has gotten big, but back in the mid 90's Brian did STELLAR work and had about a two week turnaround time. He did many barrels for me and all were great performers. I know an '06 isn't that big a gun but she's mine and a nail driver too.

I still have ONE of those 1909 Argentine Mauser actions that is going to be my .300 Winmag someday.........

..........I've got "Huckleberry", "Josey Wales", and on and on....

I've also got a 1976 Honda CB360 affectionately named "Bitsa"............because I made it out of "bits of this and bits of that" according to my wife.

..........hey I know it's not a Harley but if you're a biker you've just gotta love the old Vertical Twins and I couldn't afford a Norton or BSA...........and it's the only vehicle besides my tractor that will run if EMP ever hits us................<GRIN>

I have only one rifle with a name. It's not very original but my 1868 Trapdoor 50-70 is Thumper. Just seemed to fit the old soldier.

I almost named the airplane I built Willit or Yabut because everyone always asked, "Yeah but Will it fly?" Finally named her Tootie Mae. The name just seemd to fit somehow.

[Patrick L]

I call my Colt HBAR "the food processor" but not out of any affection, and I don't even hunt with it. I just feel that those plastic/aluminum guns have all of the warmth and romance of a food processor. I don't deny that it is a wonderful shooting machine, but I much prefer walnut and steel.

Oh and the Browning Auto 5 20 ga named itself when I heard the noise it makes when I shoot it: "THWACKADA."

[redneckdan]

I call my CZ550 in 375 H&H 'the noob cannon'

[Marine Sgt 2111]

The neighbor I duck hunt with calls my Browning pump 10 gauge "The Howitzer". He likes how it "strawberries" up the ducks!

[geargnasher]

Two 12-gauges in the family, both Mossbergs, both factory 20" cylinder bores meant for ensuring copacetic public relations, one named The Serenader, one named The Guitarron. Both reside in soft Nylon cases meant for Fender Stratacasters with a little extra stuffing added.

I was wondering when someone would mention "Vera", that was a good show. Kinda sucks that Mal's pistol made it into a movie weapons museum, but Vera didn't.

[onondaga]

My M16 is named after my favorite girl famous for carrying a sub-gun while robbing a bank--Patty Hearst. So the rifle is called TANYA, her infamous cult name from the Symbianese Liberation Army. I only call her TANYA when she is wearing her magic belly button ring and sings to me. Other times I call her "That stupid rifle that needs another barrel again". All of my rifles and all of my guitars have names. TANYA is not my favorite, but I like to slap her around once in a while when I think about how cute she was when she was young and how fast she has repeatedly banged me with the safety off.

[The_Stig]

I carried a Ruger GP100 6” as a duty weapon for many years. We call it the “Fecalator,” because of what it makes a suspect do just at the sight of it. Now that we are banned from carrying wheel guns, it has become my wife’s gun.

I now carry a Glock 21 (accurized by Second Creek Research) as my duty weapon. It won me a silver medal in the 2005 Rocky Mountain Law Enforcement Top Gun competition. Ever after, my unit has referred to it as “The Punisher,” after the name of steel course we shot that year (and after the comic book turned movie.) They routinely offer to have the logo of the character from the movie engraved into the slide.

My primary backup and plainclothes gun is a Glock 30 affectionately called “The Mini Blaster.”

My plainclothes backup is a Ruger LCP that my wife named “The Noisy Cricket,” after a weapon in the movie “Men In Black.”

my savage 99 is named Arthur.
My 642 that i call at all times but when i'm at work is named Mr. Smith.

[rtracy2001]

My dad's old 30-06 earned its nickname on a scout outing. It is a light Mauser action (not a milsup redo) from England (can't remember the manufacturer's name) and it came with a nice light beach stock, but oddly enough, no recoil pad at all. After the scouts each got a turn, the rifle has been known as BRUISE.

I have a Wingmaster that is affectionately known as Frankenstein. It is a mix of parts. It has an Express set of wood that I hacked the fore end on, it has a 20in. slug barrel, and for a while it sported a Mauser sling. It has been a reliable gun for a long time for me. I also have a Model 11 Remington that I had nicknamed "Tiny Dancer" a while ago....

I have a rem 700 that started life as a 700 adl synthetic, that I said as long as it shoots good enough to hit a deers ribcage it would be good enough. Ribcage stuck, although my son has called it black death from time to time, when he was younger.
I have another custom 700 HB 308 built by a guy who's shop name was Bear Arms so I called it my bear rifle and later when I had the same guy build me a 6mm rem br on a mod 7 remington they morphed into Big bear and Little bear.

"the Twins" is the only name I've bestowed on any of my firearms. They're a pair of 1903 Springfields, that I built up from barreled actions and spare parts. Along the way, they became identical without even refinishing them to match. Both have original finish or most of it and both now reside in virtually matching colored original C-stocks, one of which I did refinish because it had been covered in layers of polyurethane at some point. Both even have matching early web slings.....

From Zane Grey's old book " The Last Trail " about the Ohio Valley Frontier. One of the characters ( Lew Wetzel ) was referred to by the bands of marauding Indians as " Deathwind " For his prowess in woodcraft, shooting and combat.

I'm slow on the name giving, but I'm getting there.

I have a CZ .22 Lux something or other - father of a childhood friend called it a "buffalo gun" due to the long barrel.

I have a saiga AK I sometimes call "Matilda" - it seems to fit.

I have a Bushy competition AR recently dubbed "Roxie".

I have a Glock 22 I call the "loony gun". I came into its possession very soon after watching the video of the death of Deputy Kyle Dinkheller at the hands of a Vietnam vet who was totally off his rocker. (viewer discretion advised)

I want to come up with names for the others, but I am picky about things like that. I have a beat up old Mossberg 550 I might not care about. Maybe I'll just call it "the ugly stick".

And I have a Marlin 1895 in 45/70 that I am seriously thinking of calling "the fat lady" now. It wouldn't be original, but that was just funny. :mrgreen:

My last Benchrest rifle is named the black bitch. It's a black Stollee Panda action in a black McMillan stock. I won two of my most treasured trophies, A bisley hat from a British Royal Marine and a pair of panties from a female member of the Russian rifle team with it.

My 30-06 wby vanguard is called 'cupcake' (shes a cupcake compared to my 870 express with a 20in barrel and shortened stock). My 870 is the accident. The first day I shot it i put 300 shells through it (including 40 or so slugs). I felt like I was in a car accident the next day. Hence the name.

We won't discuss the micheal bay abomination; but from growing up with the original Transformers, the lead villian was named Megatron, he changed into a large scoped handgun that destroyed anything he hit. So is and does my smith 460 XVR

I call my Ruger 678G Charlenehttp://castboolits.gunloads.com/imagehosting/thum_219224f01ee68d40ca.jpg (http://castboolits.gunloads.com/vbimghost.php?do=displayimg&imgid=3271)

Got a Greek return 03a3 I call Black Nasty, Stock is VERY dark walnut and upon recieving it, it was covered head to toe in dirt and cosmoline. However after cleaning it (or so I thought) It was a good shooter. Even took it to Perry last year to shoot in the Springfiled match, However sitting it on the firing line and shooting it during Offhand it started leaching cosmo again, making the gun hard to hold onto and my off hand score suffered.

Built a "cosmoline oven" and have since cleaned it again,

I have a Winchester 94 in 444 Marlin I searched a long time for, trying to find one without porting. My shoulder wishes I'd settled for a ported model, it weighs about the same as 94 in 30-30 despite the heavier reciever (bigger hole).
I named it Winnie the BOOM.

[Texantothecore]

My .45-70 is named Caitlin.

I have a Winchester/USRAC '94 in .307 Winchester. The first year I hunted with the gun it dropped two deer. The 1st one fell over like somebody turned off a switch. The second was shot in the chest while walking towards my blind at about 15 feet. On impact it stood him up and off all four; causing him to land on his rump, then fall over on his side with only a slight kick. My Dad commented "Boy, that little gun really knocks the snot outta them." Ever since I call that carbine "Snotknocker."

My '94 Black Shadow .444 is called "Black Betty."

I have a beautiful M91 Argentine rifle that shoots way better than I could ever hope to. Her name is "Evita."

My two favorite Mosin Nagants are a 91/59 carbine and a 1927 Ishevesk rifle. I call them "Boris" & "Natasha."

For years I resisted naming guns because I thought it was silly. I finally got over it thanks to Black Friday.

Black Friday is my Savage 10 Predator Hunter in 22-250. I bought her on... Black Friday. Since then, she has proven to be a holy terror on woodchucks, rabbits, squirrels, and a couple coyotes.

After she broke the ice, I have acquired names for:

Swiss Miss - my Swiss K31
Miss Kim - Egyptian Hakim
Kill Switch - CZ 527 in 204 Ruger - kills stuff quicker than anything I've ever seen. No flopping, just DRT!
Cupcake - Savage 870 - licensed copy of a Browning A5, and it's a cupcake to shoot!

Still got some more that are looking for names, I'm sure I'll add appropriate ones as they develop.

[phatman]

I've got a CZ 550 in 9.3x62 that is just a killer.
Its name is HOGGER, major hog medicin

Cheers, John

I call my .50 Pedersoli flintlock "Ole Black Magic" but I sometimes I refer to it as "Smokey Joe"; my M1 Garand is called "Betsy"; my AK-47 is called my "AMROM" because it is made in America with Romanian parts; my wife often refers to my 1911 .45 as my "bang, bang"; my .22 rifle is known as "Pea Shooter"; I call my .45 Colt clone "Thunderation" and my Winchester carbine as "Handy Man".

[ratboy]

boomstick! The twelve-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about a hundred and nine, ninety five. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger. That's right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart.
