Top Shot Guns

Daniel at Top Shot is the best. Took time to help us get the right gun for both me and my wife. My wife is not a gun person, but thanks to Top Shot, she is now. Great prices and a cool fish tank!

Daniel is one of those people who is great in front of you or selling you something. His follow up is non existent. Called, text and email him and even left several messages with his helper, who promised he would have Daniel call me. When I got back to Grand Junction I went to his store asking him why he did not return any of my messages. He blamed his helper for not returning any of my messages, that his helper told him he took care of everything. I was dumf founded that he would think I would believe it. I simple said to him I was very disappointed in him. He simply said «have a nice day!» and walked away. Not very customer focus!
His statement that buying a gun from Top Shot will cost you $ 50.00 or more less than the big stores is absolutely inaccurate. After having brought several guns from him I found them for less at several locations in Grand Junction. My mistake for believing him and not verifying.

Daniel is an awesome guy, the store has really come a long ways. They are full of information friendly and very easy to do business with. I have to be careful about going in there too often because I feel so comfortable and I love the inventory so much that I spend money I shouldn’t but then again what else is more important than buying guns?

Ok, I had a great experience w/​Top Shot, but 1^st the funnies.
The website, it needs a little help guys! I’ve no idea who the webmaster is for them, but they need a new one. Strange punctuation throughout the site, mostly ???‘s everywhere, and the when I used the in-​site MapQuest for directions, it told me they were in Kansas, then in Seattle. Using Google maps took me to their old location downtown.
A call to the shop got me to their new place out by the Mesa Mall, no problem.
I took the $ 70 Concealed Carry course, offered on Sundays when the shop is normally closed. Now, CC ‘class’ in CO is kind of a joke, you sit there, the instructor reads some basic safety info & the CO statutes out loud, asks a few scenario questions, asks if you have any questions and boom, pending a CBI background check, you can carry the hand-​cannon of your choice around in public. I’m a 2^nd Amendment guy, but that just seems too easy. I believe you should have at least the fundamental knowledge to use the deadly weapon you’ve decided to tote around with at least some degree of competency, but maybe that’s a political discussion for elsewhere. Anywho…
Top Shot Gun Shop also offers a practical pistol course with their CC course! Now, I’ve been shooting for years, but never as an armed citizen in public, and I felt it might behoove me to see if there was something to be learned.
There is!
My instructor, Mark (Law Enforcement shooting trainer, 15 year SWAT team member) took me out to a BLM shooting area in Top Shot Gun Shops fine air-​conditioned company vehicle, and while I have many years shooting experience, I also had Bad Habits from never learning the proper Hows & Whys of Defensive Handgun Shooting. Mark, with patience and humor, corrected my most glaring grip, presentation & reloading faults, taught me some easy at-​home drills, and had me placing double-​taps in a 2″ circle @ 7yrds in 2hrs.
IMHO, this should be required for all CC holders. It’s not, but you can make the choice to educate/​train yourself to higher standard, and the Basic Pistol training offered by Top Shot is an excellent opportunity to do so.
Thanks again Mark & Top Shot!
