Barrel regulation on Vaquero
When a 'Smith regulates the barrel does he remove metal from the frame face or the barrel?
Once the barrel gets turned do they remount the ejector rod housing? Seems like they'd have to re drill the hole or something. My 4 5/8" .357 Vaquero shoots about an inch to a inch and a half left at 20 yards. I have tried Jacketed and pure Lead bullets and no matter what bullet I still get the left bullet placement. I suppose that the first trick to try is filing the rear sight opening to one side to see if I can pull the groups in? ZVP |

Do not try to file the notch wider, you will screw up the gun. The proper way is to regulate the barrel.

Sir;
Let an experienced shooter try your gun - it may be a flinching problem! Harry B. |

Ignore that this talks about a Glock. The basics of trigger control still apply, particularly the part I bolded.

What is being talked about is simply turning the barrel slightly in or out to move the front sight left or right. That leaves the front sight canted, which is something many shooters don't like, but it is the way Colt adjusted its fixed sight revolvers for many years, and most customers never even noticed.
Doing that requires special equipment including frame blocks and the right size barrel bushings for the barrel vise. In other words, a job for the pros or the factory. Another way is to clamp the frame in a vise in special blocks and hit the barrel to bend it (or the frame), but that is no job for the amateur (or the faint of heart!). Also a job for the pros or the factory. Jim |
