Thanks for the reminder of a great shop,

Was the original shop downtown, or am I thinking of a different shop?

No it was up on Fillmore. I don't know if at the same place it is now but I think so.

Right now it is only a door down from where it was originally. Johnny Guitar was the original owner, but Cal was the HMFIC and go-to guy. His son is a member here.

There was a real nice gun shop downtown many many years ago called Sutters on the corner of Tejon and Boulder.

Either way, Shootin Den is a cool place with good people running the show there.

I haven't been in since the closure and reopening under new ownership. My first trip there in the late 90s, I was looking for AR stuff, and they snootily told me they don't deal with "those" type of guns much, so I never went back. From their rep on the gun boards, the old shop was a good reloading resource, though.

I want to give them another plug. They were an early sponsor for the Recall Morse campaign and are doing great things for the Pikes Peak Council (Boy Scouts) Sportsmans Challenge next month. We're still gathering materials and donations for the charity auction up at Bass Pro on Oct 10th and Shootin' Den is not only letting us buy a few pistols at her cost (including a hard-to-find FDE Glock 19) but is donating a rifle and Remora holsters for the pistols. They have also helped Boy Scouts out with acting as FFL for the new camp rifles we ordered from Savage this past spring.

Very good people and a ready source for Gunzilla.

Shooters den sold me a glock at cost for last weeks charity shoot down in pueblo. Didn't charge a transfer few to the winner either. They are some good people there.

Wow. This is very refreshing to read about a local gun store. I will certainly send as much business their way as I can!
