I often like to pretend that I have full control of my actions, thoughts and life choices, until something takes a big wet sideswipe at me and knocks my willpower from underneath me like a Tesco chubber slamming into my legs with a shopping trolley. Case in point; the Umarex Colt 1911 A1. A beautiful gun and recently numero uno on my must buy this gun or my head will explode list.
I fought the urge to buy this pistol with everything I had and even brought in my favourite 80s kung fu action stars to help - Kurt McKinney and Jean Claude Van Damme via DVD B movie splendour; No Retreat No Surender immediately followed by Kickboxer - no breaks, not even for pissing, often peps me up and makes me feel the mind can train itself to overcome all obstacles - usually until the Mrs walks in and berates me for doing Tai Chi while watching the sodding things and knocking holes in the plaster from falling over. Yet even with a pumping Paul Hertzog soundtrack and JCVD doing spits that’d cut Katie Price in two, even they couldn’t help and I knew my will wouldn’t be restored until I tapped out and bought the 1911 - A1.
Who could resist … not me for a start!
The one, the only, Umarex 1911 A1 - churned out by the million, resting in a million different sock drawers and shot by a million different people, I didn’t care, I knew my one would be special. Special to me at least as it came with a free willpower power up, something that the combined might of Kurt McKinney and JCVD couldn’t restore, cheers lads, I’ll try Ralph Macchio and Mr Miyagi next time!
We Three Kings
I just couldn’t resist the greedy collector inside my head telling me how nice it’d be to own all four Umarex Kings. Although now that I own three, I’m not sure I want the fourth. I’ve decided we three kings is enough and here’s some lovely ladies singing about just that to put me in the Christmas spirit of buying even more shit.
Rating the 1911 A1 on the Gun Fondling Scale
I rate the Umarex Colt 1911 A1 four fondles out of five, one behind the CP88 and one ahead of the Beretta 92FS
Note; fondles have nothing to do with function or accuracy and everything to do with fondling things in front of the telly until A) Boredom sets in. B) The Mrs tells you to put it away or C) You get another gun out to fondle.
Can I train my willpower to lose too?
Yes you can and here’s some instructional videos to help overcome gun purchase addiction - it doesn’t work - but you might feel like kicking your windows out after watching it!

A farewell to arms
I’ll end this blog dedicated to poor willpower with the following reasoning, mainly for me to self-refer to next time I get the urge to free all the pistols in my local gun shop.
The mind and the role it plays in deciding my life’s choices, often seeming without any approval from my consciousness, is adamant I needed the 1911 A1 in my collection. I simply obeyed. And now that I have, I don’t regret it at all. This version of the 1911 is hefty, weighty and with its rubberised grip and buttery smooth trigger in both double and single action has dispersed any doubts at all that I should have continued to gaze at it living in its natural habitat - my gun shop’s display case - rather than setting it free to roam the wilds of my own private gun menagerie.
The 1911 A1 has already settled beside its bredrin the 92FS and the CP88 and has made itself at home by sharing pellets and CO2 like one big happy if ruddy expensive family.

I personally don’t see much difference between Americans enjoying themselves shooting powder burners in their own back yards and people in the UK shooting CO2 in theirs. Most of the time CO2 pistols look identical, cost a lot less in ammo, are quieter to use, and are just as much fun, imo.
