    Not to bring up an old subject- but I was the mgr who dealt with this customer, who turned on a dime from quiet to loud and super shitty when he was told the transfer fee ($30) on top of the state fee. I did my best to explain to him that our fees were right in the middle as far as the Denver metro transfer fees are structured. Like anything else on the face of the earth, if you are inquisitive, ask questions and are a good shopper, you can find better prices, and you will also find higher. That being said, our prices for guns are some of the lowest in town, the range (with no time limit) is the most affordable in town, and there is as much if not more expertise behind the counter than other stores. If his behavior at FL is indicative of other situations where he doesn't get his way because he did no due diligence- we would be happy to suggest other options. As far as the customer who bought his guns, he was as appalled as we were at the op's behavior- (as were other customers), so we gave him free range time that day.

    Only problem I've had there was they wouldn't let me shoot an M1 carbine in the range.

    Been in there a few times over the years, while in the metro area. Never an issue with staff or prices on items i had an interest in.

    Close to home. About the cheapest range fee in town, and as mentioned above, add the fact that it's "shoot as long as you want".

    I've been involved in a couple of firearm purchases there, and had no issues. I've never done a transfer there, private party or shipped-in, so I can't speak to that specifically.

    BUT, I will say that it does irritate me that most FFL's (even some of our beloved IP's) multiply the transfer fee by the number of serial numbers processed, even though they are on the same form. That kind of stings when you are picking up 3-5 stripped lowers.

    It's a handgun caliber only range. 15 yards. Rifle calibers blow everyone else on the range away, even more so than say.... .44 Mag. During the panic, the transfer fees were raised to $50. Then we lowered them again when things calmed down. The problem during the panic was storage space, the volume, and the fact that naturally we would rather sell a gun than process a transfer. I remember that during the panic, 5280 actually had to rope off the center of their store because they had no place else to keep the huge number of transfers that were coming in. Our backrooms were full to bursting. I would also suggest that the cost of a transfer does not cover the cost of processing it, especially when you consider the number of people who do their compare, contrast, handling and Q&A at a brick and mortar, then go to their computer to buy the gun. What's wrong with dueling banjos? That's good music thet rat thar.

    Make sure they let you shoot by yourself if not you will need to drag someone along. Ssome places do not allow it due to suicide risk.

    Was there yesterday by myself. Only when renting guns does this apply.

    I was there a few weeks ago as well, and had a good experience. I got there first thing on a Saturday morning and there was already a line of people at the door waiting on the range. They have two sides to their range, a public side and a members side. We filled up the public side pretty quickly, and I didn't notice how the members side was doing. The staff was attentive and helped me with questions and showed me how to clear a jam (went home and promptly performed my first cleaning and oiling.) Their targeting system isn't as advanced as what is available at the Centennial Gun Club, as far as I can tell. Just a simple forward/back movement to set distance. I like that it is unlimited time on the range, but I wonder if that bites them too with people camping out for hours. Anyway, I had a good experience there and plan to go back for handgun practice as it is close and I think during off hours I would probably get right in.
