I wanted so badly to like Magnum. It seemed like a cool place, but after going to both locations and taking two classes, Im less than impressed. Their instructors were not very good. They didnt seem very knowledgeable or just werent good at teaching. Classes seem rushed and responses to questions were basically mansplaining. It felt as though they didnt care about the students, just the money and couldnt wait to get rid of us. I felt bad for the beginner students who seemed to have been left with a lot of unanswered questions. As for buying anything there, the prices used to be decent, but theyre over MSRP now. I wouldnt recommend this place.

Came in and rented their guns, great rental selection, amazing looking range, and staff are extremely friendly. My first time at an indoor range and I loved it. Recommend this place 10/10! Also if you need to buy a gun, they have a very nice selection for sale as well.

I just moved to CO a month or two ago, and I got my CO drivers license from DMV today, very excited to take it to Magnum and purchase my first gun in CO, and they refused to accept my new CO drivers license as proof of identity or residence. The DMV gives a paper version of license before mailing the plastic version, and it’s a perfectly acceptable proof of ID. I called Magnum before arriving to make sure it would be acceptable and they said no problem. I get there and browse for over an hour, get to the register and they refused to sell me a gun and said the ID is not acceptable. So I went to the gun shop next door and they had no problem selling me a gun with my new ID provided by the DMV. They wasted my time, and told me misinformation over the phone about their identity verification policies. Luckily for me, other gun shops had no problem with my ID. Shame on Magnum for wasting a customers time.

My family and I decided to cancel our membership with this Gun Club. We joined a while back as we were smitten with the impressive kit in stock (which is why I chose to give it two stars). However, the customer service is very lacking. Even with the membership, there exists a Good ole boys feel to the store where if you arent in, the expectation is you show up, get / do what you need, then get out. Straw that broke our back was when I dropped off my optic, mount and weapon together for the optic mounting. Left it at the store on a Saturday feeling good as they told me, “We’ll take it back and get started on it right away. Time is very relative folks. Turns out right away means TWO to THREE WEEKS for the gun smith here to mount the optic even when you provide all the parts. Especially if you arent in that good ole boys click i mentioned earlier. After a week of waiting, I called a different store which told me theyd have the weapon taken care of 15 mins after I gave it to them. So, long story longer, I return to Magnum a full 7 days after leaving my kit there on the following Saturday. It took these guys 30 minutes to find my stuff and bring it out to me. They could have done the job I asked them to do in this time. No biggie, the professionals down the road heard this story, laughed and said that was ridiculous, while mounting the optic, then proceeded to tell me he wasnt going to charge me anything because of the hassle Magnum caused. Im sure it’s a 5-star club for the 1%. Everyone else, good luck.

I have taken multiple classes with magnum as a whole, and all have exceeded expectations! My CHP class with Lawrence at Magnum South was very well planned out, fundamentals in handling of firearms were greatly improved, and made the process of becoming a licensed concealed carrier easy. My next level handgun class at Magnum North with Elardus was also amazing! Will be taking more classes at both locations soon!

I attended a recent rifle course. I wanted feedback and advice from experts. The class was small, so I got one on one attention. Tim provided a lot of information and personal experience to help provide perspective to the class.

Have been taking private precision rifle instructions from Jeff for several months & cannot explain how totally stoked I am with the quality of his instruction. He has brought me from a raw rifle beginner to a respectable level rifleman. Thank you.

We just had an unpleasant experience at this business, and others should be aware of the problem. The center has two types of ranges: a 25 yard range usually for small arms or pistols and a 100 yard range for long guns or rifles.On this occasion we were at a lane in the 25 yard range. Everyone was using a low caliber pistol except one customer who had an AR style high caliber scoped rifle.Unfortunately, the sound from the firearm was so loud that it was not tolerable. We left early. I understand that the business has a right to allow any firearm on the 25 yard range, but there really should be some consideration or restrictions regarding the type of firearm in the small 25 yard enclosure. I am not sure he was hitting the paper plate target at 10 yards, but we will not comment on that observation.What was more disturbing was the fact that the normally helpful and courteous staff was not receptive to our complaint about this issue. We love using the center even though it is expensive. But this visit gets me very close to taking the Center off my recommend list.

A friend and I took the womens concealed carry class on Saturday and it was fabulous! We learned about gun safety, mechanics, CO laws, and shot at the range. Our instructor Elorous was extremely knowledgable, funny, and engaging. I left feeling so much more confident and am no longer intimidated by my handgun. Thanks for the great class! I will definitely be signing up for more in the future.

Ive been serving in the Army for 10 yrs with 2 MOSs Cav Scout and Military police. Needless to say I know my way around a weapon. The staff are rude and condescending. They act as if they could care less. I would recommended going somewhere where your service would be appreciated.

So I purchased ar-15. From manufacturer you get 30 round magazine. I know in Colorado cant buy 30 round magazine. But you can buy it as a rebuild kit. I also know you can buy 10 round magazine. So they keep the 30 round. Wont give you 3 10 round magazines. But they get to keep the 30 round? What do they do with the 30 round magazines they get from all these rifles? Wont buy ever again! They could at least given me one 10 round magazine. Instead get absolutely nothing. Rude customer service! No thank you.

I definitely think they should open up a southern/ft. Carson location for recreational advantages especially for people who want to train in the range without having to drive clear across town. I certainly have considered membership at a private club, I just happen to admire the setup magnum shooting center has to offer. I give high recommendations knocking off one star due to location. I would also suggest other patrons who want to shoot here invest in your own firearm and ammo to minimize the net cost of your experience. I absolutely love the staff here as well

We had such a great experience yesterday; Elardus gave my husband and I a handgun lesson and he was superb! He was always encouraging, showed us tips and techniques and we left feeling like we got more than our moneys worth but had a most enjoyable lesson too. His skill is awe inspiring. Thank you, Elardus and Magnum!

Ive been to both locations and both are incredibly helpful. Ive been to this one a few times but twice Ive taken the time to really pick the brains of the employees that have helped me. Tayler took almost an hour of his time to explain to me a plethora of information regarding rifles and optics. And Kaiden took quite a bit of time as well to inform me about some things I did not know and needed to know about handguns. Both were very knowledgeable, professional, and just downright friendly. Highly recommend this place to everyone I know and anyone reading this review.

I recently became a member of Magnum South and I was extremely impressed with the ease of signing up online. When I showed up at the shop to get my ID the team made it very courteous and the amount of help available ensured I did not wait.Of course their patience was put to the test when I needed my fire arms cost evaluated. Eli and Mike took on the challenge and made sure I had my documents ready before they closed for the day. They worked through all the details on the fly. I could not have been more happier with the services they provided in such a quick time.Thank you Magnum South for the efforts, customer service, and friendly manner you provided. I am so glad to have you here.

From a shooting center to a fully stocked weapons and ammo store, Magnum can handle any and all of your gun needs. They have a huge selection of weapons (rifles, handguns, shotguns, knives, axes, etc.) both new and used. They sell everything from ammo, cases, accessories, targets to personalized magnum merch. Extremely knowledgable and friendly staff make coming into the store a great experience. Looking for a gun class? Magnum offers them with a very nice on site training room. The indoor range is fantastic, with both pistol and rifle areas, and the lanes are very easy to use/operate. A range officer will run you through the rules of the range as well as the operation of the lanes themselves.They offer a large selection of firearms from many manufacturers and can easily order you the gun you want in whatever caliber you want. They also offer a cerakote service on the side if you feel like sprucing up that new purchase. Prices are reasonable and the facility is clean as a whistle. You should drop on by even if its just to look at all the pretty pretty guns.

All employees are incredibly helpful and will hook you up with exactly what you need. I have bought two guns now from BRAD and he is totally awesome and so helpful. Regardless of your level of experience they are willing to help. I will recommend this range to everyone I meet :)

Review №33

I called ahead to ask Magnum if I could come a little late to test fire a firearm that I had fixed due to it only being open until 7. I was told that I could but the range closes at 6:50pm so that was fine because I only needed to shoot a few rounds to make sure my deer rifle fired and cycled correctly. I drove 45 minutes to the range and when I got there at 6:22pm I was told that the range was already shut down! This is a half an hour early! I wasted almost 2 hours of driving because of the laziness and lack of customer service. I will be buying my .50cal from somewhere else when taxes come in. Ridiculous.

Nothing but good things to say about my first experience at Magnum. My girlfriend got me a gift certificate for Christmas from Magnum so I could take a CCW class. I was able to easily schedule online, and just put in the certificate code, no problem. I also saved a little time by filling out a waiver I printed from their website. When I showed up, I needed a rental gun, and ammo, and they took care of me, no problem They even had the exact model of pistol I am considering purchasing, so that was even better. I also went ahead and got a new set of safety glasses since mine were pretty old.I had not done any shooting for about 8 years or so, and although I own several firearms and used to be a fairly routine shooter, I never had any formal training. Josh was the instructor and I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed the entire 3 hour class! I learned a lot. Not only was I impressed with Joshs absolute unwavering, redundant attention to safety, he also took time with each individual in the class for whatever they needed.He was able to coach me on my grip and stance in about 45 seconds that ended up making a world of difference, especially when approaching the mindset of CCW. Once on the range, he helped everyone, including me, apply the classroom technique (grip, stance, sighting) to the actual shooting experience. I was able to put 49 of 50 rounds in the black/center of the target, with only one stray round being a few inches off into the adjoining ring. Very encouraging!I really cant wait to get more range time and hopefully take more classes, and even get my girlfriend and our kids in there. I think Josh mentioned that he runs the AR classes there, and that sounds like something Id really be interested in. Thanks! -Ryan (the guy that got the 9mm Kurz question right, lol)

I had purchased a Smith and Wesson 380 EZ for my girlfriend. Later, I went back in to get a sling, a holographic site, and some ammo. I brought my gun in a case, opened it, and told him what I needed. The salesmen said, Thats a cool gun, did you buy it here, and I told him, No. He then spoke to his boss, and his boss said, if he didnt buy it from here, we cant help him. By the way, I live in Pueblo, not the Springs. So, when I heard what he said, I knew I wouldnt be spending anymore money in their store, and I drove back to Pueblo.

The range is awesome if you can get in. I have been here and purchased several firearms in the past along with accessories. The service has been hit or miss and i have had a few issues where i had to return to the store because of a mistake to have it resolved. I gave them 3 stars becaues I enjoy the range and they have resolved any issue i have had but that does not excuse the lack of attention to detail and wasting my time. Staff is always friendly but lacks a way to track which customers are waiting for help first that has caused me to wait for extended times durning busy days. They have a great inventory and large retail store with a lot of items other store dont have. Prices are good and they have a good ammo supply.

My husband and I took a fundamentals class here and got a lot of good information. They told us to bring 25 bullets each, but we only had the time to shoot 6 each. That was kind of disappointing. However, we were especially disappointed and alarmed that all of the teachers and half of the class declined to wear maskes in the closed classroom. Additionally, at least half of the retail staff were not wearing masks or wore them below the nose.

Took the CCW II class and Joshua was amazing! I really enjoyed him and his teaching style. It wasnt boring or felt like we were being beaten over the head with information. I felt very comfortable and had fun.I came into this class having only been taught by my husband so I was a little nervous of my skill level being in a room with ex-military. But Joshua didnt treat me any different. Thanks to him, I gained so much more knowledge and confidence in myself and my ability to handle a firearm.Id certainly be interested in taking another class taught by Joshua and even having my husband take a class as well. Joshua has a deep well of knowledge and experience and I would enjoy learning more from him.Thank you Joshua!! Thank you Magnum!! You guys are more than worth your weight in gold!

Stopped by to check this place out and to look at the guns, they have nice selection but the service was less than desirable! I did end up going home with a new pistol but was treated more like a number than a customer as I had 3 different people/employees help me from start to finish, guess part of that is that i am not a member and nor do I prefer to be one.

This is where our entire family has gone to buy and train. For the most part it has been good. There was a woman who was rude to our oldest when she went to buy her first gun.

Bad customer service. Actually going into the place is okay just to look at stock, but as an example I called on the phone today asking about membership price and if they had a gun in stock. It was some impatient women who said, and this was a direct quote after sighing loudly, how many guns are you going to be asking about? keep in mind this was about 30 second into the conversation after saying I wanted to become a member.What kind of place doesnt even want to help a willing customer? I was legitimately going to go sign up today and buy a membership but after this women, I am avoiding this place from now on.Much better options!

I’ve been shooting for the last decade, both in my personal life and in the military. After some personal trauma, I noticed I was having difficulties being around guns. I knew the only way to get over it was to go back to the range and start with the basics. Brad took me through every step of the way, ensuring safety and comfort simultaneously. It may not have been the most exciting day of work for him, but he remained motivated and patient. I left that day with confidence and can’t wait to go back!My point in saying everything above is that there’s no shame in needing to start from the beginning and definitely no shame from anyone who works at Magnum. Whether you’re a first timer, a little rusty or could really use some tips on getting a better group, Brad is your guy! Very knowledgeable and super helpful! Thank you Brad!

Magnum Shooting Center is excellence in action. Their classes are taught by the elite, especially in comparison to other classes Ive taken in different states. I completed the CWP class for women yesterday with Josh B, and he was such an excellent instructor. He offered detailed instruction and applied learning on the shooting range. I went in feeling intimidated and totally uncomfortable around my handgun and left feeling empowered and more capable. I felt thankful to be taught by professionals with such elite backgrounds in military and S.W.A.T. I understand the concerns that have been expressed regarding customer service in previous reviews, but it doesnt change the fact that these courses are thoroughly and carefully taught by highly trained professionals in a safe, clean, specialized shooting range. Thank you, Magnum, and thank you, Josh!

Review №82

Edit: seems as if the first few times we were put off by the attitude in the place was likely a pretty genuine feel for the place. Customer service is sub par with employees walking around seeming not to care that youre even there and clearly theyre not interested in how their salespeople represent a sale even if a mistake is made.My husband and I specifically asked what our purchase came with before buying. We were told it came with a magazine. We made the purchase. I came to get it after the backround came through. Richard was once again the only person that would stop to find out what I came in for. No one will meet your eye. Everyone seems far too busy to ask how to help. Anyways, I left with my purchase only to come home and find that my purchase did not come with a magazine. So I called and was told that although the salesperson should have double checked before modifying me, there was nothing they would do to make it right. And in my retail management experience, if they cared to even ensure it didnt happen again, they may have asked me who misinformed me. They didnt. So I spend over $1000 and still cant shoot my gun and their employees can go on without even being advised that they misinformed a customer about what theyd be actually be buying.We likely wont be back and well dip the rest of our purchasing and gunsmithing elsewhere. Well be sure to share our experience with our friends so they can make a better decision about driving all the way up there to possibly deal with pretty bad customer service.Ian 100% redeemed the experience we have previously had at Magnum which wasnt great. We went looking for a specific Springfield and went to 4 other gun stores first before only going to Magnum because youre the only one in town that had it. Ian was not only personable, and friendly but sharing his in-depth veteran experience and knowledge sold us. We were considering a Bushmaster half the price and the time he took with us answering our entry level questions and even answering questions we didnt know we had was great. You have a valuable employee in Ian. Thank you for the help! P.S.- the crab shorts were hilarious.

I came to magnum to buy a precision rifle. Dan was very helpful in selecting everything from the caliber down to the scope mount.

Everybody at Magnum is so helpful and friendly. What an awesome place! If you are ever in the market for a new firearm I would definitely recommend going to Magnum first and talking to Dan.

Just took my CCW class today from Joshua. I was really not looking forward to sitting in a boring classroom for 3 hours while some clown told me how to hold a gun. JOSHUA WAS GREAT! Super knowledgeable and charismatic without being arrogant ... tough to do in that environment. Ive been shooting my whole life but ended up learning a ton of valuable information today. Cant believe Im saying this, but I definitely plan on taking additional advanced lessons from JOSHUA!

Fantastic place!! First time coming in today and I am quite pleased. We are here for the indoor 100 yard range. Nicely lit. The air is super CLEAN! The equipment is in excellent condition. The electronic target system is smooth and very easy to operate. We did have quite a bit of a wait for a lane, but that is an exception to the norm. 1) we are not members. 2) a local gun competition was canceled due to weather and so everyone showed up here. Even with the wait it was worth the drive from Castle Rock! Will definitely be back soon! (Tip: Join their email list and get a one time discount on your first time range fee.)

Took a class with a few friends and really enjoyed it! Our instructor Josh was great, kept the class fun, and I definitely improved my skill level and precision with a firearm. Overall, I was very happy with all aspects of the class and the staff.

Terrible store! Overpriced and understaffed! Do not go here if you actually want to buy a gun or accessory.

My wife and I took the concealed carry class with Scott. Very good class. Scott did a great job walking through weaponry and the legal aspects of CC. My wife is new to handgun ownership; he treated her with utmost respect, always asking if she was comfortable with the materials and the firing range instruction. He also gave me pointers about what I could do to help her in the future. Couldnt imagine a better experience.

My husband and I took a private shooting lesson with Scott last week. Although my husband knows more about shooting than I do, it was most certainly advantageous for both of us. Scott went over the basics with us and checked out our guns as well. His main concern with his students is safety, safety, safety. He was very informative and easy to talk to. He spent as much time as he felt necessary to make sure we understood everything. Just an over-all nice guy and Im so glad we were assigned him. Now we can start going in regularly to practice.

Wasted my time. Multiple errors led to two trips to the store to purchase a gun, and the. Background check has not been started yet. No one takes responsibility and the managers are unconcerned about it. Will take a third trip to the store to cancel the sale and to cancel the membership. Highly recommend looking elsewhere if you want customer service.

Giving them a one star rating only because it will not allow me to give them 0 stars. They are advertising free membership with concealed carry weapons class. Which would be great, and I would love to become a member with this promotion. Oh, except wait I already took this class 3 months ago and when I asked if I could possibly receive the free membership for have already taken the class I was told no. So basically Im being punished and not able to receive the free membership because I have already taken the class. What a good way to discourage a customer from ever spending money at this store again. Based on this I will never spend another single dime in that store ever again. Whistling pines seems to be a better place and have much better customer service. So I guess Ill go there.

John is an amazing instructor. He really cares about safety and helping you be more confident with your shot. I definitely recommend any class he teaches.

We had a private instruction with Scott Fisher, who was GREAT, but the lack of service and pricing of guns are very poor. Because of the great private instruction we went back several times to purchase a new gun, each time we were very disappointed with the customer service from everyone else. Today (3-9-20) we drove in from highlands Ranch to purchase the Sig p320 which is listed on THEIR website in stock for $899 to find that the gun was there with a $949 price tag on it. After showing the sales person who then went to his manager the online price from THEIR website, they would not honor the $899 price and said we had to order online and come back to pick it up in about ten days.Unfortunately, other than Scott, Magnum is terrible and we will never go back again. Hopefully Scott will move on to a different establishment so we can take more lessons from him.

Magnum is a fantastic full service gun shop, firing range, and training center. They have a wide range of pistols, rifles, and shotguns, including most major brands and some boutique manufactures of very high end guns. They have a large collection of gun accessories, tools, and ammunition as well as a variety of other products such as high end knives. There are very skilled on sight gunsmiths capable of doing most work. Retail staff is very friendly and knowledgeable.The range is divided into three 8 person 25 yard ranges and one 100 yard range. Each station has a state of the art target carrier. The shop maintains the ranges to keep them as pristine as possible. Range masters are very nice and concerned with your safety, but not overly aggressive.The shop also offers a variety of training courses, from basic safety courses, concealed carry classes, and advanced courses such as drawing from a holster, and move and shoot.

I went to Magnum to take my CCW course, and I was slightly nervous at first. I go out to the range quite often, but I’m typically with my husband and his family so I don’t feel so judged. My instructor was John and he was wonderful! He made us all feel very welcome, and once we were on the range none of us were nervous at all. I would recommend this class to ANY woman who is looking to learn more about how to safely handle firearms, and to potentially get their concealed carry license. Thank you Magnum!
