With my pistols in .556, 6.6, 300BLK, and 350 Legend and I guess the only pistol I am missing is a .458 SOCOM. Guess I will start looking for a 10.5" long barrel. Maybe Tromix or ??

No maybe about it.  TROMIX is what you want.  If you are going to toss a lot of 500 gr.+ subsonic bullets get the 1:10 twist.  But the 1:14 will work too and is better for all bullet weights, subs and supers.

That is how I was leaning. Does Tromix ever have special prices?
Any comment on Faxon barrels?

Why?
I sell firearms produced by the finest child labor in the world, be it Filipino, Muslim, Mormon, Arizonan, or Texan.

Once in a blue moon TROMIX might have a blem or two but it’s rare.  IMO if you don’t go with TROMIX you have a better than decent chance of regretting it.  Especially if you don’t go with a TROMIX barrel extension and bolt.  Those are the two places most .458 SOCOM barrel makers screw up.
And don’t forget about enlarging the ejection port.  The upper does not need a special port door cover but the port does need enlarging.
