5280 Armory/ The Range @ 5280 Armory

everyone seem to be very helpful .It was busy still had plenty of employees ask me if ineeded help or if im doing ok .I got me a xds 9 mm love it, smooth sale even the nice young lady who i paid for the purchase was very nice .nice selection of firearms also

Worse customer service ever. New to shooting wanted to dry test a hand gun and they won’t let me

Can’t expect to keep customers with that attitude! I know of others who’ve experienced the same ridiculous bitterness from the owner who also refuse to return.

Have purchased several firearms from them in the past I wanted to return. Not saying I spent thousands, but definitely around $ 3k. After this last visit which I went in with the intent of buying my first 1911 (which I did do) I will not be returning nor recommending. I had no idea there was so many options when it came to a 1911, which lead me to being there awhile.
I went in a little before 4 on November 28^th, 2015. I was with my wife, 2 teenage kids and 1 of their friends. I’m always excited being in a gun store, but everyone else’s excitement wears off after about 45 minutes. It was nice they had high top tables with stools for a waiting area where the wife and kids were sitting.
After I finally made a decision almost an hour and half later, I started doing my paperwork and the guy who was helping me packed up my firearm. While waiting for background check I sat down with the family. The kids’ friend was messing with 5 (FIVE) neon green papers with standard black ink. By messing I mean folding the corners, fiddling and what not from boredom. A guy who I’m assuming is the owner, stopped at the table the kids were sitting at on his way back to the office and told their friend «You making paper airplanes or something? Take it easy on the papers they cost me money.»
I thought it was a huge stack of papers until I saw it was the 5. Once I saw that I went to the office door and said «Excuse me!?» A girl appeared and I told her I needed to talk to the guy that just walked back. When he came out I asked him how much I owed him for the flyers. He stated «Oh it’s not that big of a deal.» I then asked «Why did you even say anything if it’s not that big of a deal?» He told me he just didn’t want them messed up. I told the kids friend to leave the flyers alone so he doesn’t cry. Shook his hand an apologized, for what I have no idea. I told everyone lets go, on my out the door I threw $ 10 on the counter and said heres for my background check and the cashier said I was ready to go. If it wasn’t for that I would have not made the purchase.
For the owner to be upset about 5 papers which maybe costed 35 cents each to make which is under $ 2 and a WRITE OFF at that. Give me a break!!! You know how many of those are passed out and probably end up in the trash? If he’s worried about that I guess he should start charging an entrance fee into the showroom. Either way I will NOT be returning NOR recommending.

Yesterday was my first time at the new location. I stopped in to just to shoot my pistol for a while and ended up doing some shopping as well. I couldn’t resist myself. I picked up a new plastic ammo can, a soft rifle case, an AR 15 lower receiver and some defensive 9 mm ammo. Along with some other Ar 15 parts. Beside the great selection of stuff for sale You will also find a grade A indoor range at this location. The shooting range is clean, well lit and well ventilated. They also offer a huge selection of rentals weather it be something fully auto or you want to try out a pistol that your thinking of buying. You will also find a great staff that’s friendly and knowledgeable. No snobby or unfriendly vibes when I was there. Did I say that the store is huge. They have a very large selection of rifles and pistols and I was very happy with the prices that I saw. Very competitive prices. Even when compared to online prices around the nation. This is now my favorite firearms store in the Denver. I would recommend this place to any body in Colorado. Its well worth a bit of a drive even. There happens to be a Costco about five minutes to the west so you can Kill two birds with one stone the next time that your in the city.

Pretty nice store, prices are high for the area, staff is friendly. My biggest complaint is they do not do background checks for person to person transfers which is dumb if your a gun store in CO. I’ll not be returning.

5280 Armory has become my go-​to for range shooting and shopping. I’ve been there at least a dozen times now and have had nothing but positive experiences with the range, store, and classroom staff. Much appreciation to the owners and staff for providing great services!

Went in to look for a shotgun and an upper. 3 – 4 staff were sitting around shooting the breeze and didn’t even acknowledge a customer in the store. Not even a «someone will be right with you».
Good selection however…

Went in to get a specific gun that they had in stock. staff was helpful and showed me the gun i was looking for. they were also the best local price i could find. (ya i could have saved a few dollars online but with shipping and transfer fees they were still cheapest). they also were the only local shop to have a rifle i was looking for. amazing selection and having a range on site is a plus. who doesn’t want to shoot their new toy right after buying it? will be buying many more guns from 5280 armory.

Went here today with my wife to look at CCW’s for my wife. I was amazed how knowledgeable and patient they were. They took the time to show us a dozen or so different firearms. Explaining everything on each one. What great service and staff. We will definitely be back.

I was very excited to try the new range at 5280, as i had in the past purchased several firearms here and received exemplary treatment. This was not my experience today. The two gentlemen (have delt with them both in the past with good service) who helped me both with the range and the firearms counter were extremely rude and reeked of «we really don’t need your money». The range, while crowded, is well lit and well ventilated and fearures a target retrieval system that allows you to set the targets to flip (ala centennial gun club), but as it turns out this feature is for «holster qualified «persons only. I was also not permitted to have my sig brace affixed. The rangemaster (older gentleman) was VERY kind however, but i still left with a sour taste in my mouth; overall it was a less than enjoyable shooting experience. Will continue shooting at shoot indoors, centennial, and Colorado clays. Also, I should add that spider was helpful as always.

This is a big gun shop. Not sure about rifles but most of their pistols are priced much higher than other stores. I really liked the new range there. I went there regularly since it opened sometimes several times a week. I don’t go anymore though. They were charging 18 dollars an hour to shoot but then raised it to 20 without notice. 20 dollars for an hour there is just too much and I won’t be going back. I go to silver bullet a couple times a week which is only 16 an hour. Also when you are shooting, after your time is up, your target will come forward and you can’t do anything else. You can’t even finish your magazine.

We walked in today to browse. We were pleased to find a huge selection and pricing very competitive even with online once you including transfer fees and shipping. The location is convenient, the armory and range are beautifully maintained and bright, and people are friendly.

Very knowledgeable and patient staff. They don’t talk down to you if you’re not a gun nerd. The inventory is vast but very specific and what I am interested in (not hunting gear). There’s a large «sportsman» store very close to my house that stocks and sells a lot of guns, but I always drive the extra several miles to go to and purchase from 5280 for their inventory and customer service.

Haven’t been to the store side, but tried the range. Brand new range, great facility, and a professional and friendly staff. It was my first time shooting and they were friendly, patient and helpful. Highly recommended.

I’m about as new as it gets when purchasing guns and this place is very impressive. It’s a very large space and has lots to choose from (although without anything to compare it to personally).
I’ve visited a handful of times mostly with questions and each time, the service was tops. Everyone was more than happy to help and never felt disrespected for being a novice. It was extremely busy when I decided to purchase a high-​end .308 and they were still very helpful (even with what seemed like complicated class-​3 questions… they even gave me the number to their attorney for my legal questions).
My wife is a little apprehensive about owning her own weapon but she felt very comfortable and was able to get all her questions answered. They even offer numerous classes including some beginner shooter classes to put her mind as ease.
Haven’t visited the range yet, but it’s nice that its in the neighborhood.

I recently took my girlfriend in here to check out some handguns and get an idea on some different makes. My lady has former military parents and shot my gun, as well as the M&P 9, so not a stranger to the game. I’m pretty loyal to my Smith .40 M&P and Smith in general, but wanted some more educated advice, and hell ya we got it. Think we talked with Steve, and he gave her direct attention, great information, and then left us to talk about things. Some places talk simple gun & price, and usually talk to the man and not the woman who’s trying to buy the gun. This joint was nothing like that, and maybe the best shop I’ve ever been to, and I’ve lived in 4 states. We’ll be back to buy this week for sure.
It also tells you something when their range isn’t even finished w/​construction, but already sold out on memberships. We will at least rock some hourly time on those lanes very soon. Thanks for the great service guys !

This is the best gun store in Colorado bar none. Have bought multiple guns from them and have had nothing but the best service. Actually have a real good time talking to the staff while waiting for back ground checks to go through. Any one that says this is not a good gun store is a dumbass. I shop here and only here for guns.
