Seems that way, just thought too good to be true. It actually fits a bit tighter than the original barrel except at the breech faces, where the fit seems the same, though there's no upper protruding lug to fill the space in the pics on the breech face of the slide (above the firing pin hole). With unchanged iron sights, I put 5 rounds today through the same 1/2" ragged hole @ 10-11 yds to test for accuracy, so it's dead on (POA=POI) at that short distance, anyway (using regular Win white box 115gr fmj). I don't have a longer space with a berm on my property, so more testing will have to wait. I have some 147gr and will pick up some 124gr to run through it too. This one likes lighter Hornadys a lot, at least before the barrel change, but will eat absolutely anything, same as the P-01 I have. Anyway, this small test at least put my mind to rest, function seems fantastic, so I guess I should not look for problems.
