LOL. You defend the 500 like it was a special-needs child. Relax. I'm not dogging your one and only. I like the 500, too, or I wouldn't have one. But saying it's without issues, like every other guns, is being disingenuous. It has issues just like any other gun. On top of that, to me, it's unrefined, clunky and sloppy. That's part of it's charm, part of what makes it affordable, and part of what makes it reliable. But it does have issues just like every other gun on the market. That's all I'm saying. So, try and calm down.
