    Yes and no...I named my M1A "SOCOM" (to avoid M1A/M14 arguments between me and my brother), I named my Savage "My -06", I named my Benelli "Benelli", 1911 "1911" High Standard "High Standard", AK "AK"...you get the idea.

    Never named a gun but I used to name my trucks/cars. Barney tree stomper and the Anvil comes mind. Had a friend with a car named Wang Dang. Ah, the good ole days.

    christy canyon, traci lords, and jenna jameson were all a big no. so i stopped trying.

    i did suggest petra, then i had to say it was from the supermodel, and got a "hell no" back.

    I've got one - an old flat top Ruger that I can never hit anything with!
    I don't know it's real name but I've yelled 'Jesus H. Christ' so many times
    while trying to hit something with it, it's called 'The Jesus Gun,' for short![:o)]

    ... to keep the religious zealot purists at bay, let's go with the Spanish
    pronunciation of the name.[:D]

    I have a S&W .44 Magnum that we have always called the Dirty Harry gun. Not original by any means, but that's always been it's name.

    "Pookie Lips"... I name them all "Pookie Lips" 'cause it rolls off the tongue and is easy to remember. My wife thinks I'm refering to her when I go "Ahhh, Pookie Lips, you are so sexy!" I'll never tell.[:D]

    I call my Sig Sauer p226 "My sig" and the other guns either by make or caliber. I don't know if this counts or not.
