i have two of them not much out there for them cept krylon
i know volqurtzen makes a trigger for them but theres not much else on the market some one might make a custom stock for them but i have yet to locate one myself. hi-caps(one's that work) are few and far between also.
I saw hi caps for the 597 at the Harrisburg gun show.

+1 on CCI Mini-Mags... My 597 loves them! Also, I have the metal mags and they work fine. I have only had a few malfunctions, with Remington Thunderbolt ammo not firing. Other than that, 100% reliable!

I got about 1.2" at 100 yds with CCI Mini-Mags!

+1 Ditto on the Thunderbolt ammo.
I was using Winchester HPs when I first got mine. Then, decided to try out the Remington Tbs, much to my disappointment. I had misfires on about 25% of the shots. Went back to using Winchesters and haven't had a problem.
"Use Remington ammo, my a$$!"
Gonna try the CCI ammo next.

I love CCI ammo it almost never jams, but it does cost more. Remington is the second best ammo I've used and winchester is just cheap quality and jams alot. Get some CCI .22 CB Longs for your rifle, it is a low powder shot and sounds like a pellet gun going off. Obviously range is sacrificed, but it gives you the ability to shoot quietly.

Mine loves to eat the CCI MiniMags. Anything else it will jam.

I put a VQ hammer in mine and my groups tightened up a lot. I'm getting usually .7" at 100 yds. One group this past weekend I had 2 rounds within .25" but I couldn't find the 3rd (unless it literally went in the same hole) because it was no where to be found on the target... might have been 3 in .25" but it's too good to be true!
