New P320, different barrel?
So I just picked up a brand new P320C, and in looking at it, it has a different barrel good than all the pictures I’ve ever seen of a 320. The gun has a born-on date of Jan 2018. Is this a factory frankengun or part of the upgrade, or should I be concerned, or...? Thanks!

Your pics aren't showing. So I couldn't tell you whether there's a difference.

The only different barrels I'm aware of are "pretensioned". But from what I've seen of them, you have to really know what you're looking for to tell the difference.

Sorry, no idea why my pic isn’t showing. To describe: my barrel doesn’t have the “severe” angle cut on the chamber that most have.

Not mine, but my barrel is identical

Yeah, that cut on the barrel used to start small on the right / front side then almost get as low as the caliber marking on the left / backside.

Right. Kind of a holdover from the 250, right? I guess the newest “version” is the more traditional shape?
