Does anybody know if a custom barrel maker ever offered a custom 6 inch barrel for the 1006/1026? I seem to remember seeing one in person at a gun store about 20 years ago. Obviously this barrel would be beneficial for hunting given the increase in ballistic performance. What barrel maker would you recommend I contact to find out if one could be made?

I have not seen any for the 1006 or 1026, It would be nice though. I got a Bar-Sto 40S&W and 9x25Dillon conversion standard 5" for my S&W1006.

However BM1 has started making me a 6" 9x25Dillon if he ever can get back on the CNC to finish the projects he had stated...as per conversation the mockup showed that the outside of the barrel would need to be reduced ahead of the ball shaped portion, to slide into the slide properly. The barrel bushing doesn't allow it enough free space.
