    "Customers" need to set their expectations properly.

    There are always some people who whine about Jensens because the staff didn't kiss their ass, there wasn't soothing jazz playing in the background, nor milk and cookies to calm their fragile nerves. Maybe the staff didn't want to be tied up for two hours while you tell them your life story and waffle over a purchase. Maybe you walked in with a bunch of "internet knowledge" and BS information/theories, asked their opinion expecting them to agree - which due to their experience, they didn't, and you got your feelings hurt.

    Get real.

    There is no need for rudeness on the part of retail staff, but on the other side, a customer can't be a tool either. While everyone is buying everything they can and the store is packed open to close, do everyone a favor and be an "efficient" customer. If you have a fragile personality or self-worth and need to be coddled, it's probably not the place for you. However, if you want availability of firearms - utility to super high end - when everyone else seems to be out of stock, Jensens is the place to go.

    Fuck, I love milk and cookies. I would be all over a gun shop that has some big ol' chocolate chips and glasses of milk set out for customers.

    They have a nice selection of parts if you are looking to dodge some shipping chages, plus you can get a cinnamon roll out on the highway. Enough reason for the trip itself.

    I like em. I think other people should too. you will miss them if they leave....think about it that way.

    who cares what they say or how they say it. get in, get your shit, pay your money and go.
    All I have in this world is my balls and my word and I don't break em for no one.

    Personally, they are the only place I will purchase a firearm from in Colorado. Every time I go into that shop, they have been friendly and helpful. Even when I went there in a wheelchair, they made sure I had access to the counter through the mass of customers. And though I can find marginally better prices online, they have a great selection at reasonable prices. As far as I am concerned, they will remain the only place I go to get my arms as long as they continue the service I have traditionally received. In fact I will be heading up there tomorrow to pick up my newest firearm!

    Jensen's has always treated me well. They sometimes get unique items that I can't pass up.

    this is right on. besides, i work in retail and many people are annoyed if you ask too many times to help them, or if you ask at all! if people know what they want they don't want to be bothered, so i think often times in a smaller store like that they try to just leave people alone if possible

    I have been in there several times. A couple of times the person(s) seemed a little short but I just shrugged it off as they were busy. I have always like them as they seem to have a good verity of stuff for ARs.
    I was in there yesterday morning and they were not that busy. I got treated well. Seemed to be a good selection of 5.56x45 and complete AR BCG for what is becoming the old price of $129.

    I've never gotten a real warm welcome from the staff, but their prices and selection are really good, and they tend to have a good selection of ammo on hand. I've bought a couple of guns and lots of ammo from them, and will continue to do business with them.

    Was up in the area, so I swung by. Not my first time in there. Had to wait a bit for some service, they were swamped, but it wasn't long before I was out the door with a new scope and mount. Only complaint was that I spend too much when I go in there, not their prices, just can't walk out without seeing something I have to have .

    Their prices are good. I have found them to be some of the best I have seen compared to the gun stores here in Colorado Springs. I'd recommend swinging by if you are in the area.
