What is involved in changing this on a 500? The pistol grip on my gun comes off and goes on very easily. Can I just slide and tighten the new one on?

The 500 and the 590 are the same, just a different tubular magazine and barrel but same action. I hope I cleared up any confusion.

Yes as far as I recall everything came that is needed to attach it. The stock has a back-plate that comes off and it's hollow; inside the hollow you push in a long metal bolt (which comes with the package). Then you tighten the bolt, replace the back-plate and you're good to go. It can take a few seconds to get the bolt lined up and pushed through the hole but that's it.

I put this on my Mossberg 590 very easily. Just unscrew the screw on your pistol grip and then unscrew the buttpad on the back of the stock and you will need a way to extend the tool to get it into the stock. But it fits great and is easily put on. I personally used a screw driver with removable heads and added a 6" extenstion for a ratchet and then added what I needed for the tool. Worked like a charm.

The package contains all you need to make the swap. If I remember correctly all you need is a screw driver and the included hardware. Comes with instructions and also you can down load instructions from any one of several websites.

There may be some tape on the inside of the barrel mount. If you remove it, it slides right on, no problem. The mount works pretty slick.

If you dont have the press its difficult and could damage or scratch your pistol. I had a gunsmith change mine for a few bucks.

Depending on the handgun you are installing the grip on it will just "slip on". We installed the grip on a Smith & Wesson, Bodyguard .38spl, and we had a little work to install the grip. Bottom line is, it is very easy to install (5-10min) and a wonderful grip. You will be very pleased with the grip.

If you have a rail, it will mount on a 500...have one on my tri-rail, mounted on the left side rail, easy to activate.

You just loosen your right grip (or remove it I forget) and this fits right in place at the top of your grip. You then tighten the screw back down ( do not strip it out but get it tight) and it's ready to go. Of course you'll have to zero it in using the gunsite (I use a laser insert) and then fine tune it at the range. It takes about 10 to 15 minutes total to install. Hope this helps?

You should probably do what I did, call HiViz and make sure thats th one you need. Remember it has to be fitted. If you do it yourself there are U Tube videos that show you how, or take it to gunsmith. Once it's on, you'll love it.

I wish I could help you..but I put mine on a Remington 870 and it fit reasonably well with some trimming.It is supposed to be a rather universal fit, but I would guess it would take trimming on your 500 as well.

It takes the place of the existing grip. It requires some work with the recoil spring to replace the existing grip. But well worth it

I have a Mossburg 500 with 9 round extended mag and barrel heat shield, using a Knox, "Blackhawk" stock with pistol grip....she slips right in and is protected, secure. I would think the profile is similar.

Just rec mine and it tore along the seam during installation. I was still able to fit it with the tear and get an idea of the enhanced grip - it feels awesome! Yes - you need to trim it to accommodate the grip safety however it's such a snug fit i can't imagine that it will shift around especially with the springfield grip under it. I exchanged it for a new one since obviously I thought it was a bit defective to tear along the seam and reordered a new one. With my second attempt at installation I plan on either use windex as a lubricant or bust out my heat gun to soften it up. This grip transforms the XDS! Can't wait to shoot with it!

Mine fit on a Mossberg 500 without any issues. Only thing is that it will fall off by the time you empty a full magazine.

This hogue grip does not fit over existing grip, u will have to remove factory grip. It's fairly easy to install, very comfortable better than factory grip, imo.

I believe the trigger housing pins (how this mounts the shotgun) are in different locations on the Mossberg 500.

I have a 500AT. My understanding is the parts are all interchangable between the 88 and 500, except for the forearm. I can't say with 100% certainty, since I have not put it on a maverick, but I'm pretty confident you'd be fine and could always return (since Amazon has the best return policy anywhere) if it didn't work. Good luck.

This grip replaces the existing grip. You will need to unscrew the stock Sig grip and wrap this one around the frame. Pretty easy to do. I had to slightly trim the rubber around the magazine port to make sure that it was free from the mag.
