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 dropped off my late husband's gun to be sold on consignment and had a great experience with the…read moreemployee (Johnny?) who helped me. He reassured me that he would call me if they received a lower offer than the asking price, which was documented on the intake paper. I received a call an hour later, asking if I would take $100+ off. Ummm...nope. About a month after I dropped it off, I received a call from Chloe (a super sweet employee) saying that my gun sold! Awesome! I asked her to mail it to me, as I live out of state. She was happy to do so and let me know that it would go out in the next day's mail. Fast forward to a week later and I received the check. I looked at the amount and immediately knew it wasn't right. They sold my gun for $400 - not $450 (listed price). I never received a call to ask about the offer and was very upset that they sold it for a lower price (especially due to it being my recently deceased husband). I emailed them to ask them why they took an offer that I didn't authorize, but the employee (or owner) was defensive and said that the paperwork stated I would take a $400 offer. NOPE. I have the paperwork to prove it. They continued to argue with me over several emails, about their theft and never admitted they were wrong. They are incredibly unprofessional and I would never recommend anyone go here for consignment sales unless you want to support a lying business that will steal your money!

Someone asked about wearing masks with a concealed weapon and he said as long as it's a surgical mask you should be fine. The man that asked was a older white man with a cloth black mask. 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. So I shut my mouth and didn't ask any other questions after that and took the whole class with out saying another word and got my certificate at the end! Ego!!! GO SOME WHERE ElSE IF YOUR NOT WHITE!

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. Short fuse, big temper, people like that shouldn't own guns. Honestly, what a joke from a gun store.

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. I've only been to 3 ranges in Denver but this is by far my favorite.

It even already has the tri lug for a suppressor. It's used but damn near half the price of a new one. I'm intrigued. 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. Oh, by the way, they have rental firearms as well that covers the entire spectrum of types and interests. I love shopping local smaller businesses and this is definitely one of these. Two thumbs up for the store. Ps. They also have a myriad of gun classes you can take.
