Narrative:

I was pilot flying and I had set up a three mile final and a three degree glideslope in the FMC for a visual to runway xx in VMC. Upon joining final approach I called for gear down and flaps to 15. When the flaps extended we received a brief gear warning horn that silenced. I looked as the green gear lights appeared on the console then checked overhead and saw 3 green lights. I continued to configure to flaps 40 and get stabilized. Upon the 500 ft call; we received a GPWS warning of too low gear. It caught my attention and I said that I would go around while beginning to push up the power levers. The captain pushed in on the gear handle and the warning immediately silenced showing six green lights (three in front and three overhead). He said to continue and land. I saw no indication that the gear was unsafe and continued to a safe landing. We exited the runway and taxied to the gate without further incident.well; from now on if I determine that a go-around is in order; I will be a little more insistent that we execute the maneuver. The indications in the cockpit in those seconds gave me confidence that the gear was down and locked; so when the captain said land I followed his instruction. I just felt that my initial decision to commence the go-around would have been more prudent. I also learned to ensure the gear handle is pushed in all the way when selected down.

Title: When the flight crew of a B737NG received a 'too low gear' EGPWS warning at 500 they pushed in the gear handle and immediately got three (six total) green lights and proceeded with an uneventful landing. Some disagreement surfaced in the reports as to the decision to continue vice go-around.
