Anyway, me and my friend went to that store. He wanted Beretta 92 and I was going to buy a couple of shotguns.
To make the story short - there were two guys in that store the owner and his helper (don't remember his name) so this helper helped us to choose the guns and with the paperwork. They had to order the guns because they didn't have them in stock so he asked for a 20% deposit, we said ok and gave him a credit card.he came back, apologized, and said they're having problem with their credit card machine so he's not able to process it.
So I asked the owner (he was helping other customer) "could you process the card via phone?" (i said this in Russian)
him: "they don't work today"
My friend: "hm, I think they work 24/7..." And start reaching for a cash.
The owner: "IF I TOLD YOU - THEY DON'T WORK, IT MEANS THEY DON'T WORK! AND IF YOU DON'T TRUST ME YOU CAN GO AWAY!"
We didn't even know what to say! I looked at the helper (American guy) poor guy, his face was like "wtf? Why is he yelling at you guys?" We told him that we're not buying anything at there store and left. The guy was looking at his boss like "wtf? $1300 just walk out of that door!"

I'll NEVER shop there again!

Even though it's very difficult for me to write in English I wanted you guys to know about my experience with this store.

I walked around for a few minutes and looked at all of their over priced accessories walked towards the counter, where the three guys were still talking it up, just to see what else was in the store and again the rude Russian guy looks right at me and just as fast looks away and talks to his buddy again. I took an IMMEDIATE right turn and walked out the door.

Never a single word was said to me, not even a single head nod, or a "hello". Nada, zip, zero.

I will NEVER go back to this place again. There is nothing I dislike more than being ignored when walking into a retail store.

I will stick with Ark Tactical whick is a MUCH better store with far more friendly and helpful staff.

-1 for you Denver Guns.

+1 on Ark Tactical. I did a gun transfer there, good conversation, the kinda guy you want to succeed.

I met a guy there to do an trade and paperwork a couple weeks ago. My experience was excellent. The guys, both the owner and the helper were very friendly. The prices were pretty darn good for a brick and mortar. Better than the box stores. They had complete Spikes lowers for like 279.99. They had a pretty good selection of handguns and rifles...
They had a good selection of .223, 308, and 7.62 ammo. They had fully processed once-fired military .223 brass which I wasn't finding for anywhere online or otherwise for a reasonable price...

As a matter of fact, I tried to use my credit card, but it had split and they couldn't run it. I told the owner, I'd be right back just going to run over to an ATM.. He didn't take any issue and basically said no problem. Came back a few minutes later and we completed the sale…

So, no issues...

^^^^ This! My experience exactly! I have never made it in there until a few weeks ago. I live about 15 min away so I figured I better stop by and take a look. I walked in and didnt get a hello or a nod from three different dudes in there! One guy looked up at me and went right back to what ever he was doing. I looked around for maybe a minute (I will say they had a pretty big inventory) and turned around and left........never to return! Not a place I would want to give my hard earned money to.

I just bought a consignment Remington 700. No issues, the owner was pretty nice. He did yell at a guy for looking at guns because he had wasted a bunch of his time and then backed out on a purchase. He said he had to fill out a BGC before he would let him look at anymore items.

As a customer thats bullshit...
As a business owner, it makes sense.

I've lived 15 minutes from the store since they opened and haven't visited because of poor COAR reviews.

Maybe it's because I'm in sales and hate being bothered when I'm just shopping but I really don't mind this store. Yeah I'm not going to hang out and shoot the shit like at Noah's but the Russian has always been hospitable. Most times when I walk in I know what I want, if they have if I buy if. The few times I've needed education on something they have gave me the information I wanted. I also like they have rifles accessible without having to ask for someone to pull from behind counter.

My 2 cents. YMMV.

Even if they'd be the only gun store in CO - they'll NEVER see any of my money!
