Naming Guns

[MR_22]

Haha, I know what you mean, Redhawk. When I was working on R&D at a slot machine company in Las Vegas, we were creating a new poker game that thad 3 phases after the deal. 3 different chances to win! We decided to call it "3-Way Action Poker" and surfed Google to see if the name was taken already. Um, yeah, that was a bad idea...!

[redhawk4]

Yes I can see a lot of inherent dangers with that one, there are many phrases I've seen that could have a double meaning associated with that.

I have a new gun on order, I think I will call either Ranger or maybe Ranger 2.

I think I will name my new Ranger IIs Vic and Strider.  That would be a good pair of names.  Maybe, if I could remember the ranger from Flipper I would try that instead of Vic.

Thanks!  So now I will name my Ranger II Rick and if I get two, Vic.

What about Texas Ranger? Isn't that what they're named after?

[OV-1D]

  My originals I call "The Utah Rangers" . Seems to be a good fit .

[LHB]

The term Ranger dates back long before Texas, as in Roger's Rangers of the Seven Year's War, AKA French and Indian War.

Haven't named a Gun yet, but we call our Nissan Exterra "Tank", because it rides like one.  Must admit though; the "Tank" is reliable.

[Warthog]

Rangers were in the Revolutionary War as well.  They were our Special Forces.

A female friend of mine named her dog UZI and another one Ruger.
Does that count LOL

Works for me! Are they self-defense dogs?

[smokeless joe]

I had two dogs named Ruger and Rossi 😄

[RangerJim]

I'd love to see Queen Anne when your foot heals, Canoeal.  Hope all is going well with the healing process.


And I love all the dog names, everyone!  Very cute!

I  bought a Husky pup for my wife and kids back when, with money that was going for a new Ruger rifle. It was only fitting that he be named Ruger. Long gone, and we still miss him...
Guns, no names, unless they fail to fire.

[Bigbird48]

Yes both Uzi and Ruger are owed by single women and German Shepard's being trained as protection dogs. Uzi Training

I think my new name for my Ranger, will be Stranger, by the time it arrives

Been there, boone.  Always incredibly tough.  Heartbreaking ...

Been there, too ...  LOL!   

[Bigbird48]

Stranger Ranger or Ranger Stranger  hmm sounds good or howdy stranger

I think my new name for my Ranger, will be Stranger, by the time it arrives

[PaducahMichael]

I named my Rangers "Woodrow" and "Gus".

[MR_22]

I named my Rangers "Woodrow" and "Gus".

Nice! Why?

[smokeless joe]

How about Buford T. Justice. BT for break top 

[MR_22]

Likey!

[smokeless joe]

That'll be the only gun I have with a name

[ikoiko]

I named my Rangers "Woodrow" and "Gus".

Nice! Why?

Lonesome dove. Tommy Lee Jones and Robert Duvall

[RangerJim]

Nicely done, iko!  And good choices, Michael!   

[Bigbird48]

I never thought about naming a gun but I'll have to think about this for a while

[PaducahMichael]

I named my Rangers "Woodrow" and "Gus".

Nice! Why?

Dang, Son - I thought you were an Amurican! Seriously, Lonesome Dove is one of the finest westerns ever written and the mini series does a great job telling the tale. You MUST watch it. Really.

I've only caught an episode here or there ...  But I might have to seriously check it out based on your recommendation, Michael.  Thanks for the heads-up!

[David Culp]

Never named a gun before. As I'll probably dual pocket carry the ranger twos allot I'm considering thunder and lightning and refer the pair as the twins.

That sounds good!

I like those names, but as with all twins I have to ask if you can tell them apart?

[David Culp]

Sure I can tell the twins apart! They have tattoos. One is 114 and one is 119!

[Bigbird48]

I like Thunder and Lightning good names
