We name our boats, our cars, our pets...

... but, have you named your firearms? I thought we could have some lighthearted fun telling what names we've chosen.

Not sure if you would really call them names but sometimes I refer to my guns as a heater and sometimes my equalizers.

I don't name my guns but Justice sounds appropriate haha. I think I've heard that somewhere before, don't remember where. I also like Thor, god of thunder haha.

I didn't know you were 'gangsta' like that

lol 'gangsta' slang for firearms:

Heater
Gat
Toast
Burner
Rod
Piece
Streetsweeper

add as you wish lmao jk HK just giving you a hard time.

As per gangsta slang, I do believe that "gat" and "heater" have been around for decades (think Humphrey Bogart in old gangster flicks).

I haven't officially named my carry piece (do occasionally refer to it as "The Terminator") but I have been known to affectionately talk to it at the end of the day when I remove it from my holster.

[ClearSightTactical]

I call mine a 'Gat' but only to mock 'gangsta's' lmao.

Seems like a long time back they also called them Roscoes. Seems like I remember that from old gangster movies. i.e. Cagney, Bogart era movies.

Yeah, I do seem to remember that. I like it (I like 'gat', too). Sounds like a cool name, too...hereafter, my XD will be known as "Roscoe".
