So as the title says, just wanted to know if anyone else names their pistol(s)?
I haven't come up with one for mine yet, (A Sig Sauer P229 9mm) but my dad named his S&W Model 629 44. Magnum "Rosebud" maaaaaaany years ago....

Anyway, just curious....

I haven't named any of my firearms but years ago I called my 1970 F100 "Too Loose La Truck", it rattled real bad. I call my newest mobility scooter "Helen Wheels".

Lets see , the first 1911 I bought here in the states I named 'Fugly' , my MAK90 I named 'Uncle Mak' and my home defence carbine is just called 'Max' since I assembled it using a OlyArms MaxHArd receiver .

I named it Fugly because I paid a total of $250 for it 16 years ago , it needed a new finish so I had a cheap park job done on it . Its has a pretty loose frame to slide fit but its is unbelievably accurate shooting guns I own . So now 16 years later the park job is worn smooth and it rattles like hell but has never let me down .

Mine won't tell me their names. They just whisper inside my head when they want to shoot or be cleaned. Sometimes they just want to be stroked and lovingly caressed.
