Me either I do use the code name "Smitty" (Short for Smith & Wesson) to refer to my carry gun when out with my wife.

An example: Wife, "Where is Smitty?" Me, "He's here."

Translation: Wife, "You got your gun?" Me, "Yes."

Anyone overhearing the first exchange would think we were looking for some one. The second would have sheeple stampeding.

Name for my gun? My wife calls it "Little willie"

Yep, whats my guns name? Browning Hi power Mark III 40 S&W Cal

I have a Keltec so I named her Kelly. Full name: Kelly Kapowski. Like the girl from saved by the bell. Get it? Her name is Kelly and it goes "Kapow" when I pull the trigger, thus, Kelly Kapowski. I'm so clever :) *ducks and runs away*

One day on our way to some shopping chore, my wife asked me, "Is 'cranky pete' with us", referring to my Colt Commander. I thought it was hysterical and ever since we have referred to him as Cranky Pete.

Seriously??

While I'm in the non-naming camp, "Boomer" aint bad...

Just made me smile when I saw that. I think I'm going with Boss

I named my 1911 "Jennifer" 'cause she ain't made of Tennifer.

im a firm believer in guns being in the same boat as a boat, they should have girl names.

however, growing up, my dad named all of his duty guns.

nickel colt python 4"-maggie
s&w 3906 9mm-judge
1st gen glock 22-(still carried to this day)-hombre

Yeah, I know...You don't want to get too attached...

I have named the two .45's we have...

"Wife-Units" .45 is called "Piledriver"

And mine is called "Sledgehammer"

The only other one is the Marlin .45/70 I have...It's called "Boomstick"...

Name for a gun? I have a hard enough time deciding what to name all my dogs so I just call mine whatever their make is: Glock, Ruger, Bersa etc. I call my Bushmaster AR-15 the BIG gun. Good luck finding and/or picking out a name. May I suggest ,Snuffy Smith.

I name all mechanical possessions with female names. Just me. I vote for Lucile or Estelle.

Don't ask me why.

I used to call my 5"38 twin gun mount "Christine" because that was my ex girlfriend's name, they both broke my heart, but at least the gun shot where I asked it to.

And that was before Stephen King wrote the book.
