 I didn't realize that I had named any until I started reading this thread. A firearm should be taken out and shot as often as the owner has the chance, two of mine rested in the care of their last owners for many years. My maternal grandfather bought a used Colt Woodsman from someone he knew many years ago and shot it very little if at all. My dear wife talked my dad out of it for a Christmas present for me in 2008. A friend of mine passed away almost three years ago and I bought his Systema from his widow when she was selling his valuables that she couldn't use. His two electric cars and Ham radio equipment were bought by people he knew that shared those hobbys with him. Now that I am semi-retired 2 or 3 times a month I try to make it to the shooting club where I am a member and very often I take Charles and Grandad.  Aside from those two I have never given a name to a firearm.

Haz, it is a very desirable Argentine copy of the 1911.
Pretty sure (not positive) that it's another name for this.

Still haven't decided on a name for the Swedish Mauser.

For the single actions I'm making a list that includes:

Truth
Justice
Freedom
Liberty
Honor

Any more suggestions along this line would be appreciated.

Naming your guns does have a positive.  By saying did you bring "Betty" with you today?  No-one is the wiser.  But if you say Hey Jason did you bring your Beretta with you or how about your Walther we might need 'em for this vicious dog over here.  It has came in handy a few times.

With the help of this forum I have my pair of New Vaquero .357's named Whoop and Ass  ;D

There is my bullseye pistol, a Ruger Mark III cleverly named Mark, and he has since gained a matching brother I just call Three.

Most of the rest are just named F***, because that is what I say every time I test my marksmanship with them.
