One thing to be aware of with the Mossberg regarding the use of pistol grips is that the slide release is to the left and slightly behind the trigger guard. The pistol grip will make it awkward to depress the button unless you are shooting left-handed.

...works by straightening the wrists a little and the tip of the right, middle finger (for right-handed folks). Also remember that the release shouldn't be necessary, after the first load is fired. Just pump it surely, completely and firmly each time after that.

And in addition, the 500 has a tang safety. With a pistol grip installed, you can't reach the safety when your hands are in shooting position. No good.

Do NOT install the pistol grip.
