The K2 Firearms Training Center (303) 989-8600 near the corner of Wadsworth and Jewell in Lakewood has been open for a few weeks now, but I just had a chance to stop in today.
It was their grand opening and the Taurus/Para/Verona/PMC/Rossi/etc truck was there with lots of goodies.
Many years ago it was known as "Foothills Shooting Center" or "Foothills Shooting Range", something like that. I spoke with the owner, Jim, for a little while. Nice folks.
It has been completely redone, inside and out. Very nice facility. Head and shoulders above Silver Bullet/Firing Line/Shootist ranges. 12 pistol lanes and (I think) 6 rifle lanes. 25 yd for the pistol, 100 yd for rifle. I visited the pistol range. It was $12 and targets were $0.25 each.
I shot my BHP, Star BM, and CZ40B.
The next two lanes were being used by Alan Samuel of www.machineguntours.com
He had an impressive assortment. MP5, UMP 9, 2 M4's, AKS-74U, MAC 10, Uzi, G36, Glock 18c, & a suppressed P22.
I coughed up a little cash and lit off a full 30 round mag on the Glock 18c. The ported barrel/slide actually said Glock 17 but it had the select fire sear in back. The shoulder stock was attached. It was very easy to control, and holy moly the 1300 rpm makes the fun end quick. I also took the HK G36 for a spin. Yep, full auto .223 on the pistol range. It seemed fairly easy to keep on target as well. Love the little optical sight built in. They were both very sweet shooters.
I then went upstairs to check out the gun shop. They are currently running their grand opening sale and offering 15% off all gun sales. I don't know if this is the usual marketing ploy, but if they take away the 15% sale and don't drop their prices they probably won't be selling a lot of guns. Here's some examples: BHP Practical $799, USPc .45 w/NS $909, CZ PCR $499, Glock 36 $639, Ruger Vaquero (blue/case hardened) $499, S&W 1911 $840. Good selection though, and helpful people.
