Suggested gun store tour of Denver area?

[O2HeN2]

I literally have to kill 6-8 hours in Denver tomorrow (11/30). I'm starting (and ending) at approximately I25 and Colorado, but given the amount of time, the entire Denver metro area is in striking distance. Yhea, with that much time I could drive home (Colorado Springs) but I feel like exploring.

What gun shops would you suggest I visit that have a wide selections and/or are AR specality shops? I'd like to come up to speed on all the Denver shops I hear about on this board, but have ignored in the past becasue it was of no interest at the time.

I'm not really in the market for anything right now, but who knows...

Ps. If anyone is interested in meeting a nobody from Colorado Springs, PM me and we'll exchange phone numbers and set something up. The day's start and end times are a bit fluid, but I think I'll be free starting about noon and ending about 7, when I'll eat dinner, then pickup the folks at 8ish.

I free up at noon at I25 and Colorado, so I should be there by 12:30.

Future posts: Please give me an address or website. I hapen to know Bowers, but that won't be true of all the other names!

Ps. Given that you had a time, I'm taking your post as an "I'll be there" - is that correct?

...Danger Lee

That'll be a day trip from the 'Springs some day soon. Been meaning to get there. Elizabeth is just a bit too far out of the way for tomorrow, though!

As for the others, yhea, they're jogging my memory and I'll go see them!

Meh for 5280. Never had so many people in one store go out of their way to mention/ point out I'm a girl & how inclusive they are. Wtf?


EDIT: Nice enough I suppose, lots of wall inventory.

You go to 5280 to eyeball the gun candy on the walls, not to socialize with the workforce.

Exactly. I wasn't there to braid hair, have a pillow fight, or troll for ***...
I'd ask to see something on the rack & it was creepy that I'm a 'lady/girl' was the sole point of contact/conversation from the staff when they spoke to me & what for? No one said the same inclusive b.s. to the guy browsing next to me & he had never been in a firearm shop before.

Don't know, don't care. It was weird.

I went there once. Got the owner helping me even and he was a complete dick and acted like he had something better to do ...... There was one other person there at the time.

Damage Factory.

What are you looking for? I look for used guns so I start with Green Mountain at 285/Wadsworth, then west go to Ark at 285/Kipling. You could always go up to Gunsport in Boulder - they have nice used guns.

I wouldn't step foot in 5280 if it was the last gun store in town.
