We've got a great group of folks here on Mossberg Owners and the atmosphere is very laid back. The only thing we like better than discussing each other's guns is lookin at 'em, so be sure to post up some pics of your new 500 and any other firearms you own in the various sub-forums. You'll also find that we're into a lot more than just Mossberg around here. Let us know if you have any questions.
The 500's really are great guns, durable and reliable! In fact I just got some new video shooting my 500 Persuader and patterning some Hornady Critical Defense! Good times, good times...
