5280 Gunz 'N Gearz

[leatherneck448]

I got to check out one of the new KRISS carbines there today, and I have to say, its a really trick little gun.

The bolt rides on a roller system that directs it back and down, kind of like a sideways L, which lets it be so compact.
And it takes glock 21 mags! pretty cool little thing, but I just cant justify the cost for something like that. Even still, theres absolutely nothing like it.

Yeah, I played with the KRISS as well...would make a fun SBR. But the stock could afford to be a bit longer, IMO...

I didn't stay for long, played in the smith trailer. Looked at all the cars, spent time with the adcor defense guy. I think that piston set up is the best I have seen so far for an AR platform. Bought a B.A.D. lever and left before I broke myself. Lol

I've only had one experience there but was positive. I was over on the front range selling a couple of guns, and stopped in there because it was close. Being from the Western Slope where NO ONE carries any type of AR stuff except rifles (not even a PMAG), I was impressed. I bought a Mossberg 500 HD, BAD lever, low pro gas block, and a few other things. I was treated well; I asked alot of stupid questions and they were patient and polite. I would go back for sure, allthough I have nothing else to compare it to.......there is nothing on this side of the hill!

I've bought from them a few times. Always been treated very well. When I purchased 2 AR's a Sig 229 and a Kahr CW9, (not all the same day) they offered 3% discount for cash. I understand the margins are not great in retail operations and didn't mind. I'll keep shopping there. Wish I could have made it down yesterday.

I don't run a business but I am in sales. Although as a customer I think paying 3% extra for CC makes it awfully hard for me to make unplanned purchases. And I know business of all types, but especially gun stores, make A LOT on guys that didn't plan to buy anything when they walked in. Now, I normally don't carry hundreds (if any) in cash. So say I'm there looking around and see something I absolutely must have (don't kid yourselves, we all do it), no cash but I do have my debit card, I will most likely buy it on the spot. But if I have to leave the store, go find an ATM from my bank to get cash to save 3% I will most likely talk myself out of spending the money. And the store just lost my purchase. As a sales person I know that your chances of closing go way down if the buyer has time to mull things over...

3% CC fees do hit your bottom line but so does lost discretionary business...

Bought the wife's Sig there Yesterday.
While is wasn't exactly a spontaneous purchase, we didn't have the cash on hand at that second.... it was Sunday.
We had been shopping around a while, but we weren't walking around with a grand in my pocket "Just in case."

The staff was Great, Gina and Matt were very cordial and patient with my son running amok in her store while we waited for the BCI.

All in all we are happy with the purchase. I Completely get the 3% Charge and I am glad its only applied to people using a charge card.
