Chris was very helpful with my handgun purchase. Mike was very helpful with my rifle purchase. Both are extremely knowledgeable about firearms! If you are looking for a firearm I would recommend Hammer Down. read more

I dealt with Mike the Owner and what a great straight talker. A breath of Fresh air from 5280 Armory, which I will never give a dime to ever again. All money goes to these awesome men at a great store with wonderful prices. Glad I found them and Glad 5280 was so Rude read more

This gun store is awesome and the gent is amazing. They have a good assortment of firearms and ammo. The guy who runs the store is friendly and knowledgeable in all aspects of firearms, ammo and repairing firearms. I am so happy he repaired my hunting shotgun and he was his cost was more than reasonable. Furthermore, the owner/operator is great to talk to talk with. I highly recommend this small shop and I will be returning here! read more

Hammer Down Firearms - Guns & Ammo Near Me - Wheat Ridge, Colorado

Hammer Down's owner (Mike) and staff are friendly, courteous and very professional. They not only are extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of firearms, the gun smith on sight does an amazing job! I've had multiple handguns, rifles and shot guns Disassembled, Cleaned, oiled and reassembled. They were even able to get some missing parts for a couple of antique firearms! Mike and Chris gets my highest recommendation! read more

I understand a business owner wanting to be able to identify people coming into a shop. Especially when there are highly desirable pieces of merchandise that undesirables may want to obtain. But, to order people coming into the store to take off their masks the whole time they are there is wildly inappropriate. It was crowded inside and no one was wearing a mask. I suffer from lung issues created by chemical exposure in the military. I don't understand why anyone would want to jeopardize my health. I also don't like being ordered to do things the minute I walked in the door of a business. It's the business owners domain, but rude and inappropriate doesn't sit well with me. We took our business elsewhere and bought a weapon there. read more

I support everyone's right to have an opinion on the mask debate. But the attitudes here are unacceptable and break the public health code. The door has a sign that reads 'no masks' You're actually told to remove your mask in the store. read more

What a Rip Off. I took my trigger guard system for 887 Remington shotgun to change out the (5 parts of the safety switch) since the original safety switch popped out. I bought entire trigger guard off eBay since parts been hard to find with Remington issues and COVID. All these guys had too do pull a pin, spring, ball, and switch from eBay to my original one. It's on the Remington Schematic. What I get back is a lie! The tall guy says here your "bag of parts" which was the original trigger guard system, all dismantle in Baggie. The picture below is the original trigger guard I bought from eBay. It's a parts and won't even fit in my shotgun because the two pins are temporary. The insulting part is I can replace on engine on 2012 Chevrolet Sonic. Clutches and water pumps. It's not that hard to read a schematic take a small hammer pin and punch out that switch pin. Pull the pin out until the ball spring and small ball bearing falls out and then you can pull the safety switch. Really simple elements guys. What I get back is a baggie of parts which never should been taken a part in first place (the original trigger guard system). Plus, they took the Springs. The picture below is the one I bought from eBay. This Store did nothing. To get my parts back I had pay $65. This is called "bait and switch"! I will be contacting FTC, Attorney State General, and another Agency in Wheatridge. ~ read more

Mike and Chris run the best gun shop in the Denver area. Personal attention, they thoroughly explain all aspects of the firearm or ammunition you're interested in. The. Best. read more

Went in on a Monday with my husband to purchase a gun. The owner was very rude and arrogant. He quickly started to discriminate against me because I am a women. This place is also a total rip off - the prices are very high. I will not recommend this place to anybody! Stay away and go somewhere else! read more

Had a great experience 100% would recommend Mike was super helpful and really had a good experience having my firearm being shipped there

Just giving a shout out to Hammerdown fire arms. I was looking for a few Christmas gifts not exactly knowing what I wanted. They were very knowledgeable and focused on gun safety. They also do an exceptional job of confirming identity and securing access to who enters. A very safe and educational experience, I highly recommend them! read more

Went to Hammer Down gun shop and purchased 3 hand guns. The gran total was just over $2,000. Had to wait for background check, come to find out the were not able to sell them to me. The day of purchase "Mike" said their is a $25 restock fee on each firearm. He charged me $467.50 for a restock fee. I am disgusted with Hammer Down gun shop. I would never ever recommend them to anyone. read more

Hammer Down Firearms - Guns & Ammo Near Me - Wheat Ridge, Colorado

I've known Chris, one of the owners of Hammer Down for sometime now. As a relatively new gun owner (owned several in the past) and CC permit holder, I can say, without question this guy knows his area of expertise. In searching for the RIGHT way to enter gun ownership - particularly in this crazy time we're in, I talked to MANY. Some made sense, some, not so much. Chris did on every count. Every firearm question, every stat, every "girl" question I had, he answered. He also makes it clear how IMPORTANT training is and how vital it is, esp for women to understand their weapon. His INSTINCTS are ridiculous and the knowledge base is huge. If you need anything firearm - HANDS DOWN - go here. read more

I was looking for a specific handgun and I found one at Hammer Down Firearms! The guys there were very friendly, very knowledgeable, and the price was right!! read more

Walked in once looking for ammunition. And the store employee/owner whoever it was told me something that I wasn't really able to hear as I walked in. He was asking to remove the mask so I could show my face to the camera. Note I didn't hear at first, and the second time he told me he was rude about it. I walked out and took my business elsewhere. read more

Great shop & best prices. Mike, Chris & Steve are good guys & I been buying here for years. I totally agree with the mask removal as I have always been against wearing a mask since day 1. They are protecting their business, themselves & their customers. I'd you whiners do not like it, go somewhere else. read more

Great experience at Hammer Down Firearms. I was met with a friendly hello and how may I help you. The staff took time to explain local & federal gun laws and procedures. I was making my first firearms purchase and was never made to feel unwelcome or ignorant. The staff are very professional. I ended up using HDF to accept a firearm I bought online and found them far more helpful than the shop I made the purchase from. I was promptly and politely notified when my purchase arrived. When picking up my handgun I was shown the proper way to handle, field strip and clean my gun. Although I did not purchase the gun from them, they still took the time to answer any questions I had regarding firearms safety. I would definitely recommend them as a top notch outfit. I'll definitely be back. read more

Went in today to pick up some ammo and I really appreciate the quick and friendly service. It's really refreshing to be able to walk into a business that isn't trying to take away our freedoms. read more

Very friendly folks who will take care of whatever you need. Competent and professional, and they are always aware of proper firearms safety. Pretty decent selection of weapons available, and they work through Davidsons -which means that if they don't have what you're looking for, they can get it for you. read more

I feel for this owner as it seems some folks are challenged with comprehension and/or reading. The owner has a sign ON the door stating their policy. If you don't feel comfortable entering then don't enter. Go to another gun shop. Simple as that, right? There's a plethora of them out there. Instead, all you do is post bad reviews on their yelp page because you don't like that their shop has the freedom to require this policy. read more

I feel like Mike is a straight shooter and is not just going to try and sell you something because he wants to see it moved. The service I have received has been prompt and good. I look forward to taking more of my business to Mike in the future. read more

I love this place! I am fairly new to firearms and Chris and Mike treated me with respect and were very helpful. They weren't condescending like others, I have dealt with. I know I asked a couple of stupid questions, but they straightened me out without the STINK-EYE that is sadly typical from other firearm proprietors. I will never go anywhere else! read more

Not very helpful, ignored my questions and just blew me off. In a world filled with so many anti gunners, us gun people should stick together and not be arrogant towards each other. read more

Agree with other reviewers. Got the snub upon entering an empty shop. Not sure if I need the tactical tuxedo to meet the cool guy bar or what. Prices on most things are way above elsewhere. $15 for a box of 9mm when I was in. read more

Chris was very helpful with my first handgun purchase and walked me through every step of the process. Answered all my questions no matter how simple they were and made the whole transaction comfortable. This will be my go to firearm shop for all my future purchases. read more

Stopped by to have a sight fixed on my rifle and the guy I believe the owner was extremely nice. Helped me out on the spot and even did it free. I had a very pleasant experience. read more

I have taken two rifles to Hammer Down for gun smith work. Based on my previous experience with other gun smith's in Denver area, I'd rate Hammer Down as above average on turn around time and pricing. While I have not purchased any firearms from them, while I have been in the shop I have seen the personal offer discounts on a $750 handgun of around $50, so take that for what it's worth. Not a lot new rifles in stock, seems more of a handgun shop, but staff seems friendly enough during my visits. read more

Great people just doing what they love. Amazing guys over there. Bought my first Rifle from these fine gentlemen an could not ask for a better experience. I searched many firearms store before making my decision and these guys earned my business. read more

Went to 5 gun shops that advertised gunsmith services. Hammer Down was the only one that had the part, a small pin. He charged me $2 even though he installed it for me to make sure it was the correct part. All of my larger purchases will be directed to HD. You might want to consider these small shops over big box stores especially if you don't work on your own guns. read more

Stay away. There are better choices. I was very disappointed in there follow through on a sight they damaged and blew me off when they had every opportunity to make right. read more
