[QUOTE="Road Runner, post: 2081106, member: 26081"] They are both great shotguns. My vote is to go with the one you know so you can be prepared if the need presents itself. If you don't know one, pick one and get to know it by shooting it and training with it. I have owned both the 500 and 870, but always end up using the 870 because that is what I began shooting over 3 decades ago. After thousands of rounds without issue, I have complete confidence the 870 will deliver if needed to defend my family and it's operation has become instinctive to me. The 500 has performed well for me too, but the Mossy release and safety are something I have to think about to operate. So for me, it doesn't matter which one you own? Can you capably operate it under duress? [/QUOTE]
