Specialty Sports in Co. Springs. (Review)

I agree with the customer service aspect. It can't be beat with a stick, very helpful and top notch staff. Prices have to be watched on the "non" evil black rifle side, but their selection and pistol pricing is great. If you want a typical rifle, bird gun, or reload, go to Sportsmen's (one will be in CS here shortly). Other than that, largest selection, decent pricing, and best customer service of anything I have seen here in CO.

Ryan, do you own a SPAS-12 and drive around in a ugly tan truck for a living?

I went there & noticed that I had to beg to get anybody to show me a gun, then I was treated rudely & my questions weren't answered as they were too busy talking about somebody's car. I noticed the prices were almost $200 marked up from what I have purchased at other stores for the same firearm. Selection was good, I think I must have gone in a bad moment & looking for items they could not compete with. Next time I'm in the pistol market I'll give them another try. :(

Yes, I do own a SPAS-12, but it has only been to the range one time, and I do drive around in a truck for a living, but it is white, not tan. Ryan

I thought so. "Rob Lowe" here!

I always hated the SPAS-12. But now I want one. :shock: Go figure..

Odd, I have never had such an experience.

Clearly, neither have the other posters here.

I bought two Bushmaster lowers from the store just two weeks ago.

Do you have this experience often?

I was there last week. They were closing shop just after I got there. Still very polite and attentive. Never even mentioned that I was browsing after hours. As I left, I noticed the sign was turned off and they were preparing to lock up. I think the overall experience there tends to be better than average anyway. I've been comparing prices on the new lightweight S&W J frame revolvers. Their price is about $200.00 under list. Karl.

Hey MADDOG, got an e-mail addy? RYAN50BMG@MSN.COM

I've purchased many firearms from them over the years and have always had a very good shopping/buying experience. I have heard of a few people that had not such a good experience, but I've neither experienced it nor witnessed it. Over all, it's the best gun store I have ever been in and I've been in a few...
The best selection under one roof, outside of a gun show...

I'll give them a nod. I just recently picked up a Walther p22 and a Savage 7 Mag from them. The Savage was used with scope for $300. They seem to be pretty friendly, and helpful, although I have had to ask for attention when it got close to closing, but no big deal. I'd do business with them again. and again...
