If it has a plastic safety catch, have a gunsmith replace it with a metal one.
I think it has a (heavy) plastic trigger guard too. I plan on a minimum of use, so I'm not that concerned.

Trigger guard isn’t a problem, Mossberg used them on a number of .22 rifles for decades without problems. I have seen numerous plastic safety catches on the 500 break, including the one on the 20 gauge I gave Mother Slim for home protection backin the 80’s. They might have corrected the problem, but metal ones are available.
