All hair-scaping aside, I'm not really looking for any one gun in particular. When I have some fun money set aside, I like perusing what's out there, and if something "speaks" to me as being a good deal and fun to shoot, I buy it. I've bought a lot from individuals and dealers, but with dealers, usually it's the consignment guns that I end up with because of the reasonable prices.

+1 for Green Mountain Guns. I bought a like new HKUSP 45 Tactical for well under even armslist pricing a few weeks ago there. Good deals can happen in a store from time to time.

Is he still on East Colfax?

I?ve purchased a gun from Scottie?s. Decent selection of WW2 and Milsurp stuff. Really the best I?ve seen in Colorado. That being said I?m not thrilled with the tattoo that the gentleman who runs the place has. It looked like a Nazi waffen symbol. If I?m wrong please correct me. I didn?t ask him to confirm that it was a Nazi piece, I just took my shit and left. I hope that I was just mistaken about it. If anybody knows for sure let me know as I?ve avoided giving him any more of my money because of it.

I’ve gotten great deals on consignments at GMG over the years, too. But the best was for a short time in the mid-2000s at the Shootist. Someone was buying new or used guns, shooting them a little, then selling them off at a huge discount each week it seemed. I must have bought 6 or 7 of his castoffs for dirt cheap. Like an HK P9S in .45 for $499.

Had you of asked him. He would have told you what it was and what if anything it represented. Much easier than fuming about it for days afterward.

Nope, nothing changed.

I haven't been in for like 3 years, Scottie himself didn't do much in the store back then, probably even less now.
