I'm sure some of you suburbanites remember the old indoor shooting range behind King Soopers on Jewell and Wadsworth. That dingy hole has been closed for some time now, but a Phoenix has risen from the ashes.

A brand new, modern facility stands in it's place. There's both a shop, and clean, well lit lanes downstairs. You no longer have to shoot shop ammo (just no reloads or steel core). There are 4 benchrest only rifle lanes out to 100 yds (you can fire calibers up to .50BMG!). There are also plenty of pistol lanes (where you can also shoot your rifle offhand). Nobody stands over your shoulder counting how fast you rapid-fire, or making sure you have 1 second intervals between your shots. All they ask is you don't shoot the target track rails. The range staff is attentive and professional. There are a variety of targets on hand for purchase, or bring your own.

The shop upstairs from the range is also clean, and well stocked. K2 carries Glock, Sig, S&W, Ruger, HK, Springfield, CZ, Walther, Winchester, and Remington firearms. To complement thier firearm selection, K2 stocks holsters, bags, cleaning supplies, magazines, ammo, and some accessories. They are also a stocking Surefire dealer. While the marked prices aren't the best, a little fenagling will usually get the prices dropped (dont' expect gun show deals). K2 is not a consignment shop, so don't expect to see a lot of used guns. There is a nice custom .45 1911 from Andy Anderson's Custom Guns under the glass, though.

Overall, I like the shop, staff, and environment at K2. Everyone is greeted with a smile and a hello as they walk in the door. It's a great local place to get sighted in, punch paper, and shoot the breeze. Oh, they also offer classes from some of the leaders in firearms training. Look 'em up, or drop by and say hello.
