I am one of Jason's Students, I took his NRA Basic Pistol and CCW classes 5 years ago and to this…read moreday, he continues to train me with my firearms. I tend to be really good with my AR-15, but not so great with my G19. ( I personally am better with rifles) Jason has been very professional and patient with me through the years with our one on one at the range with my pistol training . when I started 5 years ago, I barely made the target, now I am in the body range and would have no problems , if I needed to defend myself. When I took his NRA Basic Pistol and CCW class, I felt comfortable in his class ( I am a female ) and all the information he provided me with. He is very thorough and makes sure you UNDERSTAND the LAWS and the FUNCTIONS OF YOUR FIREARM.. I took the same class three years prior with a gun club in Colorado Springs, spent four hours in that class, I was left confused and not sure if I wanted to carry a weapon. With Jason's 3 day, 10 hours a day class, I had the confidence I wanted and needed to carry my gun safely and I knew the Colorado Laws a lot better than before. I recommend all my friends to Jason for Firearms training, I recommend everyone to take his courses, I promise you, you wont be upset. Carrying a firearm in this day in age, is good. but you really need to be educated properly. If you're someone that was raised with Guns and your dad/grandpa /uncle or whomever taught you about Guns, great, but chances are they taught you some wrong information. Maybe you weren't raised with Guns and you want to learn more, awesome!! Jason will help you understand Guns in a way that is very comforting and he will even help you figure out what Gun would be best for you , he even goes to the gun shops with you. not many Instructors will do that . You really need to take a good course, anything less than 8 hours is a joke and if you pay anything less than $300 your setting yourself up for failure. In this case, you want to spend big, to get the best training ever, Firearms aren't something to take lightly and you shouldn't take the law lightly either. You can know all the ends and out of your weapon, but if you use it in self defense and don't know the law properly, you could get in deep doo doo. So, don't be an idiot with a firearm, instead be smart and take Jason's classes, get educated and keep going back for more training, you can NEVER HAVE ENOUGH TRAINING in my opinion . Jason, has lots of training skills and he has even been an instructor out at Front Sight in NV, which if you don't know what that is, its a very large Firearms training school for all sorts of shooters. Movie stars, Military, LE, and normal people like you and me.

Mac loves to teach and teaching people about our rights as Americans to defend ourselves and our…read moreloved ones is his passion. His 3-day course is packed full of information that honestly changed my life and way of thinking. The first day is Colorado's required course in order to apply for a Concealed Carry Permit in Colorado; NRA Basic Pistol, which covers the mechanics of a handgun. As you will find with this required course, it doesn't even address anything about concealed carry. Because of this shortfall in Colorado's requirements, Mac developed his successive 2 additional days of his course for concealed carry; the laws specifically for Colorado, the mindset, tactical application/instruction, handgun options for concealed carry, types of holsters or carry options, accessories, drawing (presentation from the holster) and so much more.

I recently took the Intro to Pistol class at Bristlecone Shooting, Training & Retail Center, and I…read morehad a really great experience. Luis was the instructor for the class, and he was excellent. He's extremely knowledgeable and clearly has a lot of real-world experience beyond just working at a range. He explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, answered questions thoroughly, and made sure everyone felt supported throughout the class. I was initially a little hesitant about taking a co-ed class since I had no prior firearms experience, but Luis immediately set a very welcoming, relaxed tone. He was calm, approachable, and easygoing, which made a big difference. I never felt intimidated or out of place, and he was very patient working with me as a complete beginner. By the end of the class, I felt comfortable, confident, and genuinely excited to keep practicing and come back to the range. Beyond the instructor, the facility itself is great. The staff was friendly and helpful, the environment felt respectful, and even the other patrons were welcoming. I also really appreciate that Bristlecone offers a wide variety of courses for different skill levels, along with discounts when you take classes, and special offerings like free Tuesdays for women. Overall, this was a really positive introduction to shooting, and I'd absolutely take another class here especially with Luis. Highly recommend for anyone new and looking for a supportive, professional place to learn.

I have only really used this location as a FFL when ordering guns online but they are very nice…read morewhen I come in. I chose this location solely because their website says: "Westminster Arms is dedicated to the safety of all those in our community. We believe the 2nd Amendment applies to all law-abiding Americans regardless of the color of their skin, LGBTQ or income level, etc. We value your business and will work hard to earn it. 'An armed minority is harder to oppress'" I dig that a gun shop has this stance as it aligns with my personal views. The sales people are very friendly though a bit solemn sometimes. Once you get them talking they are very open though. They seem to have some nice pieces in stock if you want to buy from them directly but if you need a FFL. This is the place.

I asked if my mask was ok? I was wearing a black surgical mask from a dental office John said NO! I asked him what was the difference between the blue one he was wearing and the black one I was wearing! He said he was the teacher and didn't have time to argue the matter! I turned my mask around to the white side and he yelled at me that now I contaminated everyone in class and if I wanted to change my mask I had to do it outside! Even though I told him I was tested negative! So the white guy with the black mask was ok but the brown Hawaiian lady was not ok.

Horrible customer service I would totally avoid this at all costs. yelling at me over the phone telling me to bring the gun back so I can get my money back which is not what I asked for at all.

BlueCore is my favorite range in Denver. They have a very talented staff. However, I believe I have…read moresuch a great experience with them because I was already immersed into gun culture. I have seen many reviews from beginners who claim they felt unwelcome and were even yelled at during instruction. I am a firm believer that to grow positive gun culture and safeguard our rights, we must create an environment where curiosity amongst newcomers is welcomed with respectful supervision and correction from RSOs. This relationship goes both ways between the establishment and newcomer. If you choose to explore and learn at BlueCore, know that the person instructing you is responsible for not only your safety, but the safety of others. Have some grace with them and they will have some grace with you. Safe shooting!

That being said, there is nobody I'd rather spend 8 hours with than Noah Damm. He is funny, knowledgeable, and makes the class fly by. FYI: you do get a lunch break and the bbq spot he recommended was on point. I learned so much and I'm glad I took my class there. The range there is great and they have some really great deals that my normal range doesn't have. I will definitely return to this one. They have ladies night, kids night, and a great selection of guns. Plus if you want to try a different gun, they don't charge you again. I love that. Everyone that worked there was super nice and helpful too. I highly recommend this place for range practice and for getting your CCP or if you're interested in any classes. Big Joe (I think that was his name) also helped me on the range and both he and Noah were great instructors that don't make you feel nervous.

This smaller gun store even has a shooting range that is clean, well maintained and well run. I really enjoyed this gun shop, especially the staff, and I suspect I will be returning regularly.
