Rootin Tootin Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Bailey, I just had them done by Snake Oil George, on my main match guns. Went with 4 1/2 on my Original model Vaquero' 357. Balance is perfect and with the big brass site he installs they get on point of aim quickly. I love mine. RT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yul Lose Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 The thing about dealing with SOG is that not only do you get premium octagon barrels installed on your guns but he makes you feel like you’re part of his family. Very nice guy to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dream Chaser, SASS #79316 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Mine are with Snake Oil George at this time. Excited to shoot them upon their return. I went with the 5 inch octagonal barrels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Creek,5759 Posted December 18, 2021 Author Share Posted December 18, 2021 I have 5 1/2 in on the Pistols . Have been thinking about 4 3/4 inch. I do like the 5 1/2 in . Have been hearing how the 4 3/4 point well . Decisions- Decisions . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totes Magoats Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Mine are 5 1/2". They stay flat when shooting them. I like the extra weight out there. Totes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarheel Doc Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 What is the estimated cost to replace round barrels for the octagon ones? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 I've had about 5 sets done by Snake Oil George. Everyone exceeded my expectations. And he is a great feller to deal with also. My latest 2 sets were 3", in which he also cut the ejector rod and housing, and fit it back to the pistol to match up perfectly. He can also do bevel work on your pistol, including the cylinder. If its something he suggest, get it. He knows what he's doing. His middle initial is "O"......... the 'O' stands for 'Octagon'. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
