Tinner666 · August 12, 2014, 05:39 AM

I'm a 'Tinner'. When I was trying to get it as handle, all variations were already taken and the forum suggested 'Tinner666', so I took it since it was easy to remember.

Signal-0 · August 12, 2014, 09:16 AM

My name is our agency code for ARMED AND DANGEROUS. Pronounced "Signal Zero".

When asked why he carries a .45 Colt the old curmudgeon replies with; "Because Colt doesn't make no forty six!"

357 Python · August 12, 2014, 05:04 PM

Mine is from the first handgun I actually own, a Colt Python 357 Magnum.

Ozzieman · August 12, 2014, 05:25 PM

Ozzieman since my nickname was Oz in the navy and someone already had that and Ozzie.
AND!!!

Someone at the time already had 44 special.

cslinger · August 12, 2014, 05:32 PM

I wrote some books for a role playing game/company years back. One of the classes in one of my books was a cybernetic gunslinger or a cslinger

So sort of gun related and not obvious and it lets my inner geek shine.

I like Berettas and I'm a professor by trade....just not a professor of berettas!

"Lee N. Field" == Lee-Enfield

I needed a pseudonym, and this seemed likely to appeal to gunnies, and appear as a real name to others.

groverdill · August 13, 2014, 11:44 AM

OK, let's see. Screen name is groverdill, which is a version of Grover Dill, who was a minor character in the Christmas classic movie "A Christmas Story", which, if you recall, was about a young fellas obsessive desire to obtain "An official Red Ryder carbine action 200 shot range model air rifle with a compass in the stock and this thing that tells time". There ya go. Gun related.

Corrections Cop · August 13, 2014, 03:15 PM

Mine is my profession obviously.

royal barnes · August 13, 2014, 05:00 PM

Avid Louis Lamour fans will recognize "Royal Barnes" as an outlaw gunfighter in the book "Rider of Lost Creek". It's also my CAS alias.

coldbeer · August 13, 2014, 06:19 PM

Mine is easy for me to remember.

MrGlock45 · August 14, 2014, 01:31 AM

Well now let's see, ummm I'm a man Mr, and my first Glock was a G 30 (45 ACP), yep, that's my story.

Although today, I'm more apt to carry either Glocks in 45 GAP or Glocks in 357 SIG. I still own 2 of the G30 SF's.

Green mountain man because I live in Vermont, the green mountain state
Ver is french for green and mont means mountain

Don P · August 14, 2014, 08:04 AM

Needed to keep it simple having a case of sometimers. Easy to remember, at times.

cc-hangfire · August 14, 2014, 10:00 AM

Picked mine for two reasons.
1. Since "hangfire" isn't a good thing, it likely won't be picked by somebody else.
2. I am a late blooming firearm "nut", having acquired the love of guns in my mid-fifties. I grew up in a rural area and have never been anti-gun, just not interested until now. But as my brother told me, the "bug has bit me late, but bit me hard." And so, my gun interest smoldered for decades, but finally went off with a bang -- hence hangfire.

Fair enough. Unfortunately I can't afford anything that shoots 7.92X33.

precision_shooter · August 15, 2014, 12:09 PM

Let's see here...

I like to shoot
I like to be accurate when I shoot
I prefer shooting scoped rifles, for tiny groups, at stationary non-reactive targets, that don't shoot back...
I kick myself when I mess up a shot

I don't and never will claim to be a better shot than anyone, but it's personal goals for me that I shoot well and precise each time I shoot. (What's well and precise to me might be completely unacceptable by others)

cannonfire · August 15, 2014, 04:20 PM

I was an artillery marine and like shooting the M777. What's better than shooting a 155 round... Oh that's right, a whole battery firing...

stogierob · August 15, 2014, 05:27 PM

Name's Rob, and I like cigars.... (polite clapping... general congratulations... I feel like I just spoke up for the first time in a Cigar Smoker's Anonymous meeting...) LOL

ch47gunner · August 15, 2014, 06:20 PM

I was a helicopter crewmember on CH-47C Chinooks, with the 213th ASHC (BlackCats), RVN 1969-1970. Mostly I flew left door which was the door-gunner's position.

Husqvarna · August 16, 2014, 10:14 AM

well Husqvarna is Swedish and so am I, don't actually have a Husqvarna

Billy the Kidder · August 17, 2014, 08:36 AM

Mine is taken from a famous western comedian of the late 1800s.

Nathan · August 17, 2014, 08:53 AM

Mine serves 2 purposes:
1) Unique
2) it is kind of like a "crest" with only letters.
