Make sure you break in your mags bc those 597s have junk stockers IMO good plinker though and accurate have fun
The older factory mags had problems. They fixed the problem a while back, and the new mags are fine. I've got 4 of the factory mags, and have never had a bit of trouble with any of them.
The 30 rounder, however, is an entirely different story. They are nothing BUT trouble, and I'm sorry I wasted my money on one.
thanks, hope to get out this weekend and cycle a few hundred through it. i guess we will see if its good to go or if i have to do some work to it.check these previous posts out hope they may help if any problems come up in the future.

I do NOT use Winchester anything in mine it will not cycle very well,
Remington,good Federal or CCI is what i use.
Plus on your blowback rods or what ever they call them, Tightn them up and back them off 1/2 turn loose, this helps in cycling,
Mine is a tack driver 110%
Bought one for my son on his 13th birthday and I couldn't tell you how many thousands of rounds he has put through his and he has had very few problems with his. The couple of times I can think of him having an issue was one where I had cleaned it and put some lube on it in the fall then we didn't get out to shot it until early summer and it kept FTF'd I went home cleaned it and have not put lube on it since and have had no problems with it. The other time we were trying out some cheap junk .22lr ammo and it kept FTF and turned it into a single shot while we finished off that ammo, but no problem other than that.
I agree though, the new factory mags are the best for the 597 and you can throw away the 30rd mags as they are junk.
Good shooting with it, I'm sure your going to really enjoy i your new gun!!!!
I'm going to have to test my two 30 round mags
Let me know how they work, my son would love to have some 30'rdrs. He gets tired of continually loading his 10 rd mags.
My 597 likes hotter ammo, bulk crap is where you have issues with ftf and stovepiping....also, if you have factory plastic mags, ditch them for the metal ones......they're better
My PLASTIC mag works find, but my METAL one sucks always jamming
Thanks fellas for the input!! Was thinking of buying one--------no way now!!
