I have read of some people having accuracy issues and others having parts breaking with their 500 S&W Handi's.
The only thing I've had to do to mine was to fit the forearm. I have had no troubles at all with the rifle and it'll keep 3 shots inside 2" at 100 yards.
I am very happy with my 500 S&W Handi-Rifle!
GOOD SHOOTING!
