The mossbergs pistol grip kinda gets in the way of the action release lever. Keep that in mind. It ironic that the 500 is known as being very tactical friendly but it has this one big design flaw IMO. This is why I went back to a standard shoulder type stock.

I then realized I shoot better with the shoulder stock. even at a mid position. I can tuck the stock up against my gut at a mid position and have more control.

Also, Sometimes in the summer the park across from my house gets littered with drunks after the bars close. There always seems to be some kind of drama. I like to keep my 500 out and unlocked on those nights. I like to leen it against the wall in the corner behind my nightstand. With the pistol grip the 18" barrel sits about 2" below the top of the stand. This makes finding it quickly in the dark potentialy challenging.
