Naming Guns

[tombogan03884]

i have a strictly mechanical relationship with my guns. once you start humanizing a machine a gun it becomes more than a tool and you end up having feelings for it.

Milling machines have personalities ! I name every one of them I work on, The  only one that even "Hustler" would print is "The machine".    
I do not, however name my guns.
But then I do not name my shirts or skivvies either.

I have to say TW, that's kind of like naming a Beagle or Great Dane "Dog".  
However my 12 Guage may have become "Thumper" today, more on that this weekend

I don't name mine.  Hell, I have trouble getting HazJrs' name right half the time.  CRS is a BIOTCH!

My son-in-law named his .308 "Butter" because of the smooth action.  His AR15 (which I now own since he lives in Kalifornia and is not allowed to own such a thing) is named "Envy" on account of it being green.  I have been inclined to call it "Kermit" for the same reason.

I used to get in my dry-fire practice with my 1911A1 by "shooting" at Dan Rather on TV.  (I no longer watch CeeBS.)  i was doing this one night and my wife says "You're always playing with that gun, does it have a name?"

The first thing that came to mind was "Roscoe", which was a Depression-era slang term for a pistol.  That's what I told her, and that has been Roscoe ever since.

Haven't named any of my other guns, although I do tend to talk to them..........

I have 2 Ruger Blackhawks that I have named.

The .357 is named Calamity and the .45 Colt is named Cassidy.

What were we talking about?   

All kidding aside, Mrs. T named my 9mm "American Express" because I never leave home without it.

Is that a new spelling for douche bag?

I have never named mine. Except to refer to the large caliber rifles as "the big boys", and all smaller caliber stuff including pistols as "the little guys". When I am dialing in to make a loooooooooong shot however, I always address my rifles as "sweetheart". Makes them feel loved, and I usually see improved performance.

Remember the scene from "Ghostbusters II" with the Mood Slime?

We talk to it, play soft tunes, middle of the road type stuff,............... "You haven't slept with it have you Ray?"

You hound....
