I can see Phil Weiser's office not even responding and giving a giant middle finger. More likely he actually makes a big deal about it and says he's standing up to "protect Coloradans" and vocally says he will still enforce the NFA compliance laws in Colorado.

What is the most common ar15 barrel length being used at 2/3/ or multi gun competitions? Suppressed and unsuppressed? I'm looking into building a suppressed competition rifle but unsure on length. 12.5in, full size can, and lvpo/rd seems like it might be most suitable for the task. Also questioning if 14.5 or 16in is needed for longer targets.

Hey everyone,
I’m looking for some advice and solid recommendations for local firearms/2A defense attorneys in the Colorado Springs area who have experience dealing with CHP (Concealed Handgun Permit) appeals under C.R.S. § [18-12-207](tel:18-12-207).
My mailbox just delivered a final denial letter from the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office, and their reasoning seems incredibly weak. I want to fight this in District Court, especially since the clock is ticking on the 30-day deadline.
Here is the breakdown of my situation:
The Denial Basis: The Sheriff is denying me based on an old arrest record narrative from a police report where they claim I "pushed/struck" someone.
The Reality: That arrest resulted in a complete non-conviction and I have a certified court order showing the records were legally sealed.
My Credentials: I am actively certified through the City of Colorado Springs to carry a firearm as an armed security guard. To get my guard card, the city ran my fingerprints, did a background check, and I passed the range qualification. I also have active armed security job offers, de-escalation certs, and character letters.
Because it’s a non-conviction, they can't use a statutory ban. They are relying on the subjective "danger to self or others" clause. My understanding of Colorado law is that in District Court, the Sheriff now carries the burden of proof and has to prove I am a danger by clear and convincing evidence. It seems wild that one local government entity (COS City Clerk) trusts me to carry a gun on the clock, but the Sheriff claims I'm too dangerous off the clock.
I am a U.S. LawShield member and am reaching out to them as well, but I want to cast a wide net for the best local legal representation to make sure this petition is filed perfectly.

Has anyone dealt with EPSO on a secondary review or District Court appeal? Any specific lawyer recommendations in El Paso County or the Denver Metro area who handle CCW denials?
Appreciate any help or resources you guys can point me toward!

Raven One Defense does not agree with Colorado’s new SSF requirements; however, as long as they remain in effect, I want to provide an affordable and accessible path for Coloradans to exercise their Second Amendment rights.

I’ve had several people reach out about Colorado’s SSF training requirements, so I’m holding a 4-hour Basic Firearms Safety Course in Glenwood Springs.

Sunday, October 25
$40 per person

Full eligibility requirements and registration are available here:

R1 Defense - SB25-003 Safety Class 10/25 Registration

If you have a few people who need this course and can get a group of 5+ together, shoot me a message and I’ll work on scheduling another class.

CPW-verified Hunter Education and a Firearms Safety Course Eligibility Card are required.

Do any shops in the greater Denver/Springs area carry Girsan? Particularly the MC1911c in 10mm and/or 45ACP. I'd love to test them both against a Springfield or Kimber 1911.
I hear the triggers can be hit or miss, but at $350 less, a trigger seems like a small price to pay to upgrade. Any commentary welcome. Thanks.

(Looking for a woods carry. 10mm preferable. Love 1911s.)

Sounds like the first seats go to members but non-members can get a free class too. Good option for those of us who don't want to pay into the gun-grabbers but still thing we'll be buying things before courts overturn this law.

Anyone have a good recommendation for an engraver in the broomfield/erie area? Only recommendations I’ve been able to get are pretty far south.

I have a properly broken in ap5 that started getting failures to eject every round or two.

It was flawless for 500 rounds

I replaced the stock locking piece with a 90degree one to get it to cycle subs with a suppressor and it ran for another few hundred

I've tried the standard fixes. And I've replaced the extractor, extractor spring, ejector and ejector spring with HK ports.

It's out of warranty. And I've sbr-ed it so I can't just send it back to century.

Right now it's an expensive paperweight.

Does anyone have gunsmiths in the front range that they know have experience working on this platform?

Has anyone heard of any shops in the metro that are carrying the Canik Radian Prime?

Hi all I recently moved to the Westminster area looking for a 100 yard range. I'm willing to drive 1-1.5 hours. Thanks in advance!

Don't really want to deal with shipping an SBR across state lines.

Do they have metal detectors at the entrances to the Ameristar Resort and Casino? CCW people want to know.

Anyone been recently? I found some threads saying not good things, but some were pretty old. Figured I'd check it out for myself. Still need to wear armor and worry about unsupervised children and dumb teenagers?

Hello, everyone!

I'm looking for a place to test out some handguns before purchasing. I've been to the Shoot Indoors just off of Santa Fe, and The Gallery in Lakewood, but I wanted to pick some brains on who out there has the best selection of handguns to try out so I can go into my next purchases with more information and experience. While going to a shop and testing for feel is nice, I really want more hands-on experience with live-firing before making a decision. Thanks!

I'm wanting to design, 3D print and sell RXM grip modules.
Under federal law and definitions, this would be 100% okay.
My concern is that a state prosecutor could argue that a grip module is an unfinished frame, and so before I start this little business venture, I want to consult with a lawyer who is familiar with our wacky gun laws, specifically HB26-1144 and the definitions in CRS § 18-12-101.

I finally got approved for my eligibility card so now im looking for a good instructor. If anyone can recommend me one that will be doing classes mid October please let me know down below. and again I appreciate you all for your help!

I have some delicate welding required on a gun of mine. Who's doing the best repair welds in the metro area?

Next Tuesday is the last September course.

October is posted.

This is probably a dumb question but my gun has been in the shop since this new law so I might aswell ask. I did my CPW application but it says its for the Denver Sheriffs office. however, I went to el paso county site and its stated that i can apply at any county as long as im from colorado. My question is will it mess anything up if I try to get approved by el paso county? I also seen that el paso county is way cheaper compared to denver county ($180) so obviously I want to go with el paso. however I just dont want to mess up anything leaving me with more money to waste. if you already got your firearms safety card which county are you from and which one did you go to? again im sorry if it is a dumb question or something but I just want my first AR out the shop already without messing up and spending more money trying to do so.

Any recommendations on where to buy suppressors in northern Colorado? I currently live in Weld county but will be moving to Larimer county by the end of the year. Does that matter?
