Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Its funny, my brother will go in and they treat him like he is a long lost and beloved relative. He is a LEO
I go in and its a different world.
we go in together and its almost comical
No, they don't know me from Adam. I've never been in there in uniform (when I was uniformed), but I tend to keep to myself, smile and say "No thanks" when they ask if I need anything. I tend to go there on Sundays and they are always busy with people and I just wander around.Originally Posted by Byte Stryke
you calling me a liar boy?
(Kidding)
be honest Oneguy... did you have ANYTHING PD on you or do they know you as a LEO?
one of my former professors is APD and he has no issues there... because they know he is PD.
but as far as their knowledge of gun laws and customer service... the place could vanish and I wouldn't miss it.
I Will drive past it 3 times to go to another shop.

That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
No one on here would ever call you a shill for liking a particular gun shop.Trying not to be a shill!

I've been going to TFL for 10 + years.
The employee turnover is really high. I've dealt with some arrogant jerks and others that were pretty cool and others in between.
Richard (the guy with the British accent ) has always been very cool.
Their prices can be a little high (way better than Gander though LOL) but I have gotten a few real good deals there(mostly on used stuff). I stop in there every so often because I live close by.
Recently whenever I've stopped in there the employees have been very helpful and accomodating
NEVER enjoy going in there... but they are the closest shop that i can go fondle MSARS at, and they sometimes have a good deal on used long guns...
i do know that everytime i go to shoot handguns, they always bitch at me for doing double taps... im sure its more of a city policy, but come on, its two rounds... and, being 19, they always come to me with a condescending attitude... i know enough about firearms, thank you sir. i dont think i will ever buy anything from them.
My experience there was average. I went in with the Wife to pick out a new handgun. The guy behind the rental counter was nice. but when we went to actually buy the gun the salesman acted like we were an inconvenience in his day and was just a complete asshole. He then turn us over to a more important man, possible the manager, who treated us about the same. Every time I would ask or say something he would give me the shortest answer possible and try to act like we weren't even there.
Overall we got in, tried what we wanted and got what we wanted. The price of the gun was about 10 bucks less than other shops around town so the price is fair, just the service is rude. But in the end I don't care much about that since an hour later I am on the way home anyway. If we had needed more help or if I didn't know as much going in as I did it might have been an issue though.
Just say NO!
The Firing Line will never get ANY of my $$$. Their customer service is always subpar and their prices are way out of control. I will drive a 100 miles out of my way if I have to and spend my money where it will go a lot further and I'll drive further if I know the people there will treat me well. When Bowers Tactical gets their FFL, that's where more of my hard earned $$$ will end up.
The character of a man can be judged by how he treats those who can do nothing for him
HiNah- just saying I haven't experienced what others have reported here. Trying not to be a shill!
I was there last night - no wait for the range - no problems renting a Glock 17 and shooting the $hit with 2 or 3 of the employees
I will be getting a membership there shortly and will likely be going shooting on Sunday mornings
At least 5 trips there so far without issue

Pick up a couple of fair deals on some new, really hard to items there.
I have been treated decently there. It is all about who you are talking to. Stay away from Sneakerd while you are there, he could smooth talk the Devil into buying a blast furnace.......
Just kidding Dave, and thanks again.
Accidentally selected this place when purcasing a gun from Buds Gun Shop, since it was listed as a "preferred FFL" i figured I would give it a try.
Called and inquired about the information they needed, there was a lot of "labored sighs" and "well I need your phone number because that way I can call you" in a sarcastic tone while listing the information he needed from me. Along with some overly loud shuffling of paper back and forth like he had something better to do I was put off. You would think that an obvious new customer calling about a transfer, they would be a little nicer to get them to come in and buy things in the showroom.
meh, if they don't want my money that bad, than I am happy to oblige them after this transaction. I'll also update with the in-person experience.
