Bought another Model 500 a while back and like the others I've had, it was a very nice gun, zero end shake and close B/C gap, fine trigger, very accurate.

I strongly believe that if you feel you have the right to criticize you have an obligation to compliment when things are done very well, but most people don't do that, certainly not the internet complainers.

I called S&W customer service after getting this last gun and told them that I really liked the gun. The woman said "you mean you called just to thank us?" I said yes, she said "you made my day!" Don
